Hans Now Call for Rushing of
Work so That Structure
Will Be Ready for
Fall Games.
In order that the Nebraska Me
morial Stadium might be entirely built
under one contract the Memorial As
sociation, in letting its eoulract to
the Parsons Construction Company of
Omaha last month, found It necessary
to borrow from trust companies the
sum of $300,000. Before this amount
would be turned over to the associa
tion it was necessary that $350,000
in unpaid pledges be turned over to
the borrowers.
Total pledges to the Memorial Stad
ium to date are $419,175.99, and, de
ducting the $50,000 margain which was
necessary in order to secure the loan
a sum of less than $400,000 is left
which can be used in the building of
the structure. The contract as now
let calls for $390,000 to complete the
west and the east stands, leaving less
than $10,000 as a margin between the
resources available and the net
amount of the contract. But to this
$390,000 must be added the necessary
"expenses of the campaign, leaving
nary a cent left for further operations.
The extent to which the Memorial
Association has gone to assure that
the stadium might be completed at
the earliest possible date and in the
moat complete form possible is real
ized from the statement made by liar
old F. Holtz, alumni secretary and
stadium chairman, in a letter to an
alumnus in California who requested
that Mr. Holtz come out west in stad
ium promotion work. In the letter Mr.
Holtz said in part, "You don't realize
to what extent we have taxed our re
sources in order to let this contract.
We haven't a dime, not a sou, to spend
for travel or anything else at this
time. We have literally pledged our
souls in order to get the seating ca
pacity, depending on the loyalty of
alumni to come through and enable us
to make a finished structure or" the
stadium."
The original bid of the Parsons Con
struction company to build the stad
ium complete was the sum of $548,
S4!), nearly $150,000 more than the
amount available for building purposes
at this time. In order that the work
on the stadium be not delayed any
longer, the committee decided to elim
inate what details might be tempor
arily left out and at the same time
build the stadium so that it would
have its full Beating capacity of 35,000
when completed for the 1923 football

Best of its Kind in the World
The University of Nebraska College
f Medicine succeeded the Omaha
Medical College, which was established
in 1881. In 1903 the University of
Nebraska entered into an agreement
of affiliation with the Omaha Medical
College. This affiliation was term
inated in 1913 when the University
of Nebraska formerly took over all in
struction in medicine. Coincident with
this date the Medical College of the
University was transferred from the
seat of the University at Lincoln to
the city of Omaha. Today it stands
among the leading medical colleges of
the country in the character of the
training of future practicing physi
cians. k

Sigma Omicron Lambda
is New Organization at
Omaha Med'cal College
Sigma Omicron Lambda, a rival or
ganization for Alpha Omega Alpha,
the honorary organization on the med
ical campus at Omaha, was estab
lished at the University of Nebraska
School on May 10, 1923. Its public
motto is "Under some conditions, we
are bound for friendship," and the let
ters of its name are said to stand for
"Sons of Liberty."
It is an open fraternity, according
to the members, and as yet has no
:itual. It was founded for the pur
pose of promoting a finer feeling of
fellowship among those to whom fel
lowship is among the finer things in
medicine. -
The twenty-six charter members of
the fraternity represents the best in
the senior class, and it is the plan of
the fraternity to pledge new members
from the coming senior class. With
the principles engendered in the con
stitution, it is expected that there is
a brilliant future ahead of the organ
ization, especially when it expands and
is nationalized.

Coach Carr Takes the Baseball
Squad to Ames for Two
Game Series.
Nebraska's baseball team left Wed
nesday night for Iowa where today
they will engage the Iowa State team
at Ames in the opening contest of a
two-day scries. The game was orig
inally scheduled for Friday and Sat
urday but was changed at the request
of the Iowa sandlotters.
' Iowa played the Huskers last week
end here and broke even when each
team won a game. Ames barely nosed
the Varsity out in a twelve-inning
game by a score of 5 to 4 on the first
day and then Nebraska won 8 to 3 in
the second contest. From this it looks
as if Nebraska has the edge over the
Hawkeye player.
Coach Carr took the following men
with him on the trip: Captain Car

Modern Methods Preserve Health of
General Public From Many Diseases
Dr.
J. T. Meyers, Pathologist of
University of Nebraska.
When Nebraska was a part of the
"Great American Desert," matters of
hygiene and health were purely per
sonal. So long as the population re
mained widely scattered, methods of
disposal of waste from the human
body or from human activities, the
care of supplies of food or sources of
drinking water, the care of contagous
disease, was nobody's bus'isess but
that of the individual or family con
cerned. As communities became more crowd
ed, these ar.d many other things left
the domain of personal hygiene and
entered that of public hygiene. Under
present conditions, it concerns many
people If a city water supply becomes
contaminated with disease producing
bacteria. A case of diphtheria or
smallpox might mean much to num
erous individuals.

Service conducts many activities, the
value of which is perhaps not recog
nized by most people. Mention of
some of these may be of interest. It
enacts and enforces health measures
which are interstate in character. For
example .the purity of drinking water
is maintained, and the common drink
ing cup has been eliminated on rail
way trains.
Danger of Impure Water.
Some very serious diseases are
spread from person to person by the
means of drinking water. Tynoid fever
and asiatie cholera are examples.
Many epidemics have been proved to
have been water borne. Two examples
will serve as illustrations.
Some year ago Plymouth Pennsyl
vania, then a mining town of about
tight thousand population had an epi
demic of typhoid fever. The water
supply came from a stream whic!
firained an almost uninhabited area.
