Dear Mr. Allens

Concerning the queen election for homecoming,
I talked with Mr. Montgomery again, and he gave
me the following information.

Film size - 16mm.

Length - between 400 and 500 feet
Time - not to exceed twenty minutes
Kodachrome

Twenty-four University co-eds will be entered
and photographed. Each girl will have a num-
ber which will be placed on her portrait which
she submits and on the film. The judging team
will put down the number of the girl for whom
they wish to vote.

I was unable to see Mr. Ellsworth because he had
gone to Wichita, and as yet I have been unable
to see Mr. Hedrick. However, since it is almost
certain that they will o.k. the plan, perhaps

we could go ahead and try to get a team.

Allen Crafton is going to help us with the stag-
ing and meet with the queen candidates in order

to help them so as to avoid awkwardness before
the camera.

The various houses are being phoned so they can
elect their candidates for queen before Tuesday.

Thanks again for your help and encouragement.

Sincerely,
