BY FRANK JACOBS.
University leaders have definite
Ideas on the Temple situation a
Daily' interview-poll has shown.
Although divided on proposed
method, six men representing sev
eral phases of the campus scene
have offered important views on
the problem.
John Selleck, general business
manager, comptroller and cor
poration secretary of the Board
cf Regents: "I prefer to see the
university take their time with a
long-range project, a really fine
little theater."
Leroy T. Laase, Chairman of
Speech Department: "We are
hopeful that the University Thea
ter will be given the green light
to announce its productions for
next year . . . either the Ne
braska theater or the Temple de
pending when the auditorium be
comes available."
ARTHUR WESTBROOK, direc
tor of the School of Fine Arts:
I am hoping for a Fine Arts
building. I feel it would appeal to
somebody to donate the funds."
Max Whittaker, director of Ex
perimental Theater "I find stu
dent morale has suffered. The
students feel helpless because
their future doesn't look too
bright."
Gordon Lippett, executive sec
retary of the University YMCA
The theater is a very important
part of campus contribution to the
entertainment and culture of cam
pus life. Unless there is a new
building it seems very advisable
to remodel the present building

NELS BENGTSON, dean of Jun
ior division "I hope that the Tem
ple Theater can be made sage,
usable and attractive. The Univer
sity Players, durig the past 30
years, have developed the reputa
tion for high-class performances
and have served a need for the
University public and for some
Lincoln friends as well.
"The training for students par
ticipating is training for life as
well as, in a few cases, for pro
fessional careers. All University
graduates, wherever they may be,
are expected to be able to appear
well in public and the training
obtainable throught t h e a t r i c al
performances is of high value in
this respect"
