trators have decided upon a plan
to ease the problem of possibly
having no theater next year.
A letter from Comptroller John
Selleck to Leroy T. Laase, Chair
man of the Speech Department re
vealed that University authorities
are finally agreed on a solution to
the theater problem. The letter
states:
"This is to advise you that the
University will undertake to
either have the auditorium at the
Temple Theater ready for use or,
failing to do this, will agree to
underwrite the cost of the Ne
braska Theater for the 1949-50
season at a cost of $5,250.00.
"WE ARE proceeding with
architectural study for the
Temple Theater and expect to
secure cost estimates covering
the main work that will be re
quired to secure approval of the
Fire Marshall to reopen the
theater and later a second cost
estimate of completely rebuild
ing and reconditioning the entire
theater auditorium area."
Dr. Laase, commenting on the
administration move, stated,
"The Department of Speech is
pleased to have the assurance
from the university administra
tion that the University Theater
may proceed with its plans for
its usual five productions next
year. This will be good news, I
am confident, to a large number
of speech majors who have been
uncertain to what the future held
for them at the University of
Nebraska."
