THE STADIUM STANDS
Tho university stadium Is apparent
ly at a standstill. In tlio latest state
ment from the committee it says, "The
total cost of such a structure will be
approximately $400,000. This entire
amount should be raised within five
years but the quicker the money is
raised the sooner the stadium will be
completed. The total amount should
be completely subscribed before actual
construction Is begun."
If this means that tho stadium will
not be started until the entire 1400,
000 Is subscribed, students and alumni
of the university should get busy right
now. Nebraska needs a stadium and
needs It right quick. Not. five years
from now, not ten years but NOW.
Affairs should be arranged so that the
project can start within six months.
If the statement means that only so
much of the stadium will be construct
kI as the subscriptions now on band
and within a very few months war
rant, then the situation is encouraging.
At least a quarter of the structure
ought to be constructed before next
spring. Enough money for that much
of the work to be completed immed
iately is on hand cr could be raised
without a great deal of effort before
the close of the football season.
Students are getting anxious about
the stadium. For some four years,
talk has gone the round of the new
structure. Xo start has as yet been
made. A strenuous campaign for
lunds is now due and the sooner it is
carried out the better.
will win, that Nebraska will como out
ahead. If Nebraska teams lose, Ne
braska students do not Jeer. They
have u tondoncy to become under
enthusiastic but that is fr better than
to havo a group Jeering.
Harvard must bo in u bad way. If
it Is the fault of the athletic manage
ment in fostering unclean tactics In
securing players, in attempting to do
reat the other team, then the Jeering
students are In the right If it is
because Harvard is affiliated with a
malady making it Impossible for the
I hue-honored school to hold its stu
dents together in one pchool-pushing
group, then something is radically
wrong. Whatever troubles Harvard Is
serious and needs Instant remedy.
" BOOING THEIR ATHLETES
Because they said, some students
jeered at Harvard athletes last fall,
that school has decided this year that
it will sell tickets to those students
who are proven loyal or can be vouch
ed for by loyal students friends.
How serious the condition of affairs
at Harvard is probably no one outside
the school knows. Hut when a story
to that effect is sent broadcast thru
out the country, Harvard spirit is in
a bad way.
Nebraska spirit is not so. Nebraska
students are behind their athletes.
They do not jeer them. They do cheer
them. Cornhuskers may make no such
demonstrations at their contests as
characterizes Harvard aDd other east
ern schools. But it does not have
within its student body those who do
not wish wholeheartedly that Nebraska
COMING TO THE CLOSE
Like a book, within ten days, the
.1922 summer session will come to a
c'ose. Another hot weather school,
the largest attended on record, will
bo left In arrears.
Tho first session went quickly. More
than 2,000 students were enrolled.
They studied hard. Then with the be
ginning of the second term some thou
sand of them passed out, went back to
their homes to spend the rest of the
vacation.
Now there is but a comparatively
few days left. Students will soon com
mence long "cram" sessions hoping to
pir.ke their grades in one hard study.
They may succeed; they may not.
Those students will be in the minority.
Many more will be those who have
performed their work steadily, faith
fully, getting each and every assign
ment to the best of their ability. That
characterizes the summer students.
A HORSE STORY
Next to a good dog story, a good
horse story is best appreciated by lov
ers of animals. From Washington, D.
C, comes the story of Jack Gallop,
who for ten years served honorably as
a fire horse on a big steamer. But
the motor finally got old Jack and the
faithful animal was led away, much
to the regret of the firemen who had
learned to know and love him. A
week after Jack had bid farewell to
the fire station and his erstwhile hu
man pals, he was hitched to a garbage
wagon. It was a sad reward, for a
decade of honorable service for the day
was hot and the garbage wagon fmell
ed badly. Walking along in deep
chagrin, Jack spied a fire station, and
then something unheard of in horse
history occurred. Jack said something
to his mate, in horse language, took
tile bit In his teeth and bolted right
into the stone wall of the station, head
long. He crumpled to tho pavement in
a heap, dying shortly thereafter. Now
some folks, who know very little about
horses, will say that he became mad
with the heat, but the firemen who
1 new Jack for many years, declare that
Jack deliberately committed suicide.
The truth will never be known, but
it is a fact that fire horses do become

so attached to their work and their
human friends that when taken out
of the service, they seem to lose Bplrit
and vitality and frequently, die shortly
nfter they begin their pension days.
At any rate, he would bo a foolish man
to argue that Jack Gallup did not
suffer anguish when taken from the
fire engine and hitched to a garbage
wagon. The Lincoln Sunday Star.

Extra Courses?
Students not attending the university this summer have
six weeks before the opening of the fall session in which they
may work off requirements, gain extra credits, or become
eligible for school activities in case twenty-seven credit hours
were not made last year.
The University Extension Division makes it possible for
students to study at home aitd bring the University of Ne

If you have several spare hours each day they may very
profitably be devoted to this work.
