tion with America was when I was in
the Drlmary school, reading the story
of George Washington and his cherry
tree little knowing that I should
ever visit his home and see for my
self the very spot. I was quite
thrilled to visit the place ana see
the relics thereof. Then later on,
when I was In high school, studying
world's geography, I learned the
kames of several places by heart:
New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
so on. But the name that fascinated
mp was the Niagara Falls. And when
I actually saw the Falls, I was pell

contain a different sort of truth than
reality itself. My third and most
thrilling association was wnen j
studied the European history In col

war of the American Independence.
How well I remember that lecture-
how I stood up for the then American
noonle? admired their brave spirit or
standing up for their own rights at
the Battle of Bunker HOL And when

Months. - '

PLEDGES PAYABLE NOW
Cornerstone Will Be Laid June 1
While Alumni Are At tending
Round-up I
Week. :
With work on the Memorial Stad
ium well under way, with the contract
let, and the assurance made that the
1923 football schedule will be played
in the new athletic field, Stadium sup
porters have let out a sigh of relief.
The anxiety which was felt through
out the campaign for funds has' dis
appeared, and students and alumni
are now watching with interest, the
progress of the actual construction
work on the old Nebraska field. . ;
Excavation for the new stadiutji is
rapidly being completed. Daily, tons
of dirt are hauled away from the old I
field and before long the entire
ground will be dug out, and the con
tractor will start laying the concrete
foundations. Within a short three
months the concrete stands will'; all
be poured and within a month after
that the wooden seats will be in and
the first game will be played.
The contract calls for the comple
tion within 120 days of the west and
eaststands, the combined bleachers
being capable ot seating nearly
40,000 people. Temporarily, the colon
ades on the north and the south
will be left off, but as soon as enough
money is available they will be added.
That may be before the football sea
son starts, and it may not be for
another year.
Money toward the construction of
the stadium has been secured through
bonds, upon which the stadium com
mittee is paying the usual high rate
of interest. Every cent the commit
tee can collect ahead of tinrw5il
mean a saving of that much in money
borrowed and Interest paid.
Payments of the last four install
ments on the stadium pledges are
not due until next fall, but subscrib
ers toward the stadium may pay their
later installments now if they wish.
The payment of the late installments
of the pledges now will save the
committee much expense and will
assure the stadium of more athletic
equipment because of those savings.
Some forty-two hundred student sub
scriptions mean quite a sum, and
every dollar that is collected early
on these subscriptions mean a saving
not only in interest on bonds, but
also a saving in bookkeeping and
collecting expenses. Keeping the
stadium records clear is a huge task,
and students who wish to do bo can
;ielp the stadiun: committee consider
ably by making their advance pay
ments now and thus allowing the
committee to make their payments
at least a closed account. The amount
saved on one pledge is comparatively
slight, but on the more than 4.G00
pledges It Is an enormous sum.
Laying of the cornerstone for the
Memorial Stadium will be a part of
the program for Roundup week this
spring. The stadium ceremonies will
be held on Friday, June 1, the sec
ond day of the Roundup, when nearly
two thousand alumni who return for
the class reunions and celebrations
will be present Students will do well
to plan now to stay over for the
ceremonies on that day.
Dedication of the stadium is to be
a part of the program for football
homecoming day next fall, the day
when Kansas meets Nebraska in the
annual football contest A dedication
ceremony and program will be ar
ranged for that day equal to any
event ever held on the campua. '
The stadium Is progressing rapidly,
ttnd each load of dirt, each mixer of
concrete, that Is poured into the
structure will be watched closely by
Nebraska students, realizing as they
do that each step brings their dream
of a huge Memorial Stadium closer
to actuality than it ever was before.

given by Adrian M. Newens, director
of the University School of Music, at
11 o'clock Thursday morning at the
Temple Theatre. Teachers college
classes will be excused during this
hour, and students of other colleges
are invited to come.
This is the fourth' of a series of
lectures given under the auspices of
the Teachers college.
Girls Will Wear Green Badges
Green butons bearing the num
erals of their .class will be worn by
all girls of the freshman class, ac
cording to plans being made by the
members of the fire class honorary
societies for women: Mystic Fish,
XI Delta, Silver Serpent, Mortar
Board, and Valkyrlte.
It has often been mentioned that
the men of the first-year class have
to bear the brunt of the "hazing"
on the campus. The plan of the but
tons for girls Is not so much to let
the girls take their share of the un
pleasantness, as to help the members
of the incoming class to become ac
quainted with one another.
The badges will be green celluloid
disks about one and a half inches
in diameter, with the class figures
in white upon them. This year they
will be furnished by Rudge and Guen-
zel, and, will be distributed the sec
ond weeek of school In tho falL
from a booth in the store of the
donors, which will be In charge of
the girls in the "upper classes. A
record will be kept of the names of
all the freshman girla who secure
their pins, so that lists of freshman
girls may be checked ami all girls
on the campus will he wearing the
pins.
At the beginning of this year, when
plan was first suggested, It - was
thought that scarfs of the Irish hue
would be proper thing for the girls

to adopt as their symbols of the
class to which they belonged. But
due to the fact that the vogue for
colored scarfs is rapidly passing,
this spring It was thought advisable
to use buttons of the class color
instead. Accordingly, the promise of
the buttons was secured from Rudge
and Guenzel, and plans are now under
way as to ways and means.
Because of the coarse pins which
are used on the buttons. It was de
cided by the members of the sponsor
ing organizations, that the freshman
co-eds shall be required to wear their
badges at all times except on even
ing dates, when the marks of the
pins might disfigure their dainty
gowns.
On Olympic days. If the men are
allowed to burn their verdant head
gear on the pyre, the girls will add
fuel to the fire in the celluloid pins.
If the sophomores win the annual
contest, however, the girla will not
discard their buttons until the men
are freed from the necessity of wear
ing the emerald caps.
It is hoped by the members of the
class honoraries that the wearing of
the green buttons may become a
established a custom among the girls
as the green caps are among the
men. To this end there will be an
effort to enforce the ruling, y
means of a special committee for the
purpose.
