<p>Broadcast of 14 June 1942 of student talent competition on "The Texaco Star Theater" starring comedian Fred Allen.  A West Virginia University student won during this particular broadcast.  It was part of a series of shows during the 1941-1942 season where students, selected by student bodies at colleges and universities, would compete in a talent show.  They would travel to New York as Fred Allen's guest, perform, and be paid a salary for the week.  [From information provided by the donor.]</p>  </scopecontent>
