Absolute start of the Memorial sta
dium before next spring is now as
sured. The first half of the structure
is to be completed as soon as possible
and the remaining half built as the
necessary money is available. Such
was the statement of Harold F. Holtz,
alumni secretary, Friday.
A field organization for the cam
paign for funds for the stadium is
now being perfected and the drive
will be started in November. It Is
expected that the entire remaining
amount toward the goal of $400,000
will be raised in that campaign.
The University of Nebraska is late
in starting its stadium. According to
data secured from Mr. Holtz, three
Missouri Valley schools have already
started their stadium drives. They
are Kansas, Kansas Aggies and Ames.
The Universities of Iowa, Minnesota,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Purdue, Indiana
and Michigan are other schools to
which Nebraska hands nothing have
started their drives. ;
