Theatre Clubroom for Speech
Majors Is Dream Come True
BY BETTY KING.
The house that Jack built
couldn't compare with the club-
room the speech majors have dec
orated. Started at the instigation
of Dallas Williams, director of the
University Theatre, the clubroom
has been wholly a student project.
For the last week, room 154
Temple has been all confusion
ladders, paint, brushes and peo
ple in old coveralls. The speech
majors have given all their free
time to redecorating the room. Out
of all the confusion came a room
to be proud of. The walls were
painted a soft, cool green, the
coiling a warm cream color. The
crowning glory was the draperies
a gay rose print on a white
background. Now, if the speech
majors can talk enough people
into giving them old furniture,
the room will be complete. The
Twelve finalists in the annual
Cornhusker beauty queen contest
were chosen from forty-three con
testants Friday by the presidents
of the men's organized houses on
the campus.
The finalists are:
"Hink" Aasen, Chi Omega

The contestants were presented
at a tea dance in the Union ball
room by Cornhusker Editor Myra
Colberg. Each coed appeared
twice, once in a date dress with
accessories and once in school
clothes, walking out from the
center of the stage, down the
steps, and across the ballroom in
front of the judges.
Later this semester, the twelve
finalists will again be judged from
pictures and appearance in formal
dress, and at this time the beauty
queens will be chosen to appear
in the 1945 Cornhusker.

sponsored officers' dance at the

success of this campaign is prac
tically assured. Was there ever a
speech major who couldn't talk
a man out of the shirt on his
back, let alone the chair he's sit
ting in?
Speech Students Relax.
Speech students now have a
place to sleep between , classes,
to play bridge or just to talk.
Anyone walking into room 154
finds someone stretched out re
cuperating from the work that
went into decorating the room.
This is a place to relax, to have
fun, and the students are using it
for just that.
