The 1923-24 University student
and faculty directory will make its
appearance on the campu Thursday
morning. While the book is being
placed on sale almost a month earlier
than in any previous yer, it will be
larger than usual and will contain
two new sections. One of these is
devoted to the College of Medicine at
Omaha, giving complete information
regarding both students and faculty
The other gives the names of all
campus organizations with their pres
idents.
As in other years the directory
will contain the addresses, telephone
numbers, titles and degrees of faculty
members, and the affiliations, col
leges, addresses, and phone numbers
of all students. All towns represented
in the University will have the names
of all students listed alphabetically.
The early appearance of the book
this year is credited by the editors
to the excellent co-operation of the
joint Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. com
mittees in gathering and compiling
the necessary data A force of about
twenty people were kept busy for
several days filing, typing, checking
and rechecking, and reading copy.
The book is larger and much more
convenient to use. The new binding
is designed to prevent the cover from
tearing easily.
Twenty-three hundred copies will
be placed en sale at .different places
on the campus Thursday and Friday,
according to Frank F. Fryt business
manager of the book. A greater de
mand is expected this year on account
of early appearance and the new
features and the management ex
pects that most of the books will be
sold the first day of the sale. When
the stfpply is exhausted no more will
be available from the printers.
Fifty girls from the Y.W.C.A. will
sell to the students from booths on
the campus. All girls on the sales
committee should report at 8 o'clock
Thursday and Friday morning to
their chairman at the building designated.
Today is stadium pledge payment
day.
About twelve months ago the cam
paign to raise a half million dollars
for the Nebraska memorial stadium
was started with a big rally in the
Lincoln city auditorium. Forty-five
hundred of Nebraska's students re
sponded to the call, and signed
pledges to the memorial association,
paying one-fifth of the pledge at the
time they signed, and agreeing to
pay the second one-fifth six months
after the signing of the contract, and
each of the other three-fifths in three
installments falling due six months
apart.
Last April 24, the memorial associ
ation fulfilled its part of the pledge
by signing a contract with the Par
sons Construction company of Omaha
for the erection of the new stadium, i
Today that stadium stands well past
the half-way mark of completion,
and the call for payment of the sec
ond one-fifth of the stadium pledge
is sounded.
Campus Booth.
On the corner of 12th and R streets
there stands today a little white
house, "Stadium Builders' Home" it
might well be called. Anyway that
is the place where the 4500 students
who made stadium pledges a year ago
are expected to meet their stadium
pledge, all of it or as much of it as
thry can, but at least to clear up
two-fifths of the total pledge.
For one week the little white house
will stand on the corner of the cam
pus. From 8 o'clock in the morning
until 6 o'clock in the evening repre
sentatives of the Nebraska memorial
association will be placed in the lit
tle structure to receive the pledges
of the students. Today is the first
day, next Tuesday is the last. At
least as many pledges should be paid
up today as original pledges were
made on the first day of that mem
orable campaign twelve months ago.
You remember also the tremendous
amount of work which the members
of your stadium building committee
went through that week. How they
met every night to check up on re
sults, how they made a special ef
forts to give those who had not sub
scribed a final chance, and how on
the last day of the campaign, the
day before thousands of graduates
returned for the last homecoming
day football to be played on old Ne
braska field when Nebraska walked
over the Missouri Tigers to the tune
of 48 to 0, the goal of $90,000 was
passed and $15,000 in pledges was
added to it for good measure.

Only three days remain before the
annual gridiron contest comes off in
which the Nebraska Cornhuskers at
tempt to twist the Tigers tail. This
year the twisting exhibition is sched
uled for Columbia, Mo., Saturday,
October 27.
In preparation for the big show
the Cornhuskers have been going
through a heavy workout every
night. A stiff scrimmage with Coach
Farley Young's yearlings has been
the main event in the training camp
The scrimmage uses up the best part
of two hours and in that time many
varsity candidates and freshman as
well are given their turn in the head
gear battle.
New plays, trick formations, and
forward passing as well as elementary
fundamentals are employed by both
squads. Each team, benefitting by
previous practices and games, is
rapidly ironing out the rough spots.
The scrimmage Tuesday found
Rhodes and Meyers at ends, Weir
and McGlasson tackles, Berquist and
Hubka at the guards, Hutchison cen
ter, Rufus Dewitz and Gately, quar
ter, Herb Dewitz and Dave Noble at
halfs, and Ced Hartman fullback.
This aggregation completed many
passes and pounded the frosh line
severely. The freshmen turned in
some gains when they had a chance
at the ball but their gains were short
and seldom were they able to mak
first downs by hitting the line or
skirting the ends. A heavy scrim
mage is on the bill for Wednesday
as the team leaves Lincoln at
o'clock Thursday, arriving in Colum
bia Friday morning at 8 o'clock.

College of Dentistry alumni re
turned in considerable numbers for

were in Lincoln for the game were
Dr. Allen McCashland, '22, and his
wife, Drs. Paul Smith, Walter Weber,
Leo Batey, Arthur Schoenberg, Ben
Dennis, Frank Cammer, and Gene
Slattery. Dr. Slattory and Dr.
Schoenberg will be in Lincoln for
some time taking post-graduate work
Two general addresses on topics
in the teaching field, "fourteen
Points for Teachers" and "The

W. Rosenlof of Teachers College in
a three-day engagement at the Hayes

To give the examination for the li
censing of pharmacists, the depart
ment of health and welfare of the
state of Nebraska has secured per
mission for the state board of phar
macy examiners to use the laborator
ies and lecture rooms of the College
of Pharmacy from November 13 to
16 inclusive.
The third big rally of the year will
be held Thursday noon at 1 o'clock
when the "fighting Cornhuskers"
leave for Columbus to meet the Mis
souri Tigers in the "third game of the
season. This will be Nebraska's last
contest away from home until the
Ames battle, November 17.
The University band will furnish
music for the parade and the line of
march will be virtually the same as
when the team left for Illinois. The
line is to form at 1 o'clock in front
of the Armory to march to the Bur
lington station where the team will
leave on the 1:30 train for Omaha.
They will take the Wabash from
there to Columbia.
The Corncobs will be in charge of
the parade and yell leaders will be
stationed at intervals along the line
of march to lead the cheering. The
Missouri contest is the third Missouri
valley game for the Nebraska eleven
and will be one of the most important
Valley games Saturday.
Every student who does not have
a 1 o'clock class tomorrow is rrged
to get in line at 12th and R streets
and cheer the team as the men leave
for the southland. A number of
students are expecting to drive to
Columbia for the game to show their
Nebraska spirit.
"It is very important that we have
a big turnout for the rally tomor
row and every loyal Cornhusker stu
dent who does not have classes should
be there when the train pulls out for
Omaha. If the students will not get
out and show they are behind the
team they cannot expect the team to
fight its best so let's have everyone
out," was the comment of Coach
Dawson yesterday.
"Missouri is our hardest opponent,
next to Kansas, in the Valley and
Missouri would rather beat Nebraska
than any other team on her sched
ule. Nebraska has the stuff to show
the Tigers what football is but to
bring out that stuff the students
have got to show that they are in
terested in the team and I will be
very much disappointed if we don't
have an even larger delegation at
the station tomorrow than when we
left for Illinois two weeks ago," was
Coach Schulte's statement.
The personnel of the squad will
not be announced until tomorrow
night or Thursday morning.
At 8 o'clock this morning the first
call for the payment of the second
one-fifth of the pledges made by stu
dents a year ago to the Nebraska Me
morial Association was sounded. For
one week the association will make
an effort to secure the payments of
the second installment of the stadium
pledges.
Forty-five hundred of tTiese
pledges made by students fall due
today. The amount due the associa
tion from the students w $21,000,
one-fifth of the total.
The stadium pledges of students
read :
"In consideration of my interest
in the erection of a memorial stadium
on the athletic field of the Univer
sity of Nebraska at Lincoln, Nebras
ka, and of the pledges made by others
for the same purpose, and for value
received, I hereby pay $ to the
Nebraska Memorial Association, re
ceipt of which is hereby acknowl
edged and which constitutes me a
member of said association, and I
promise to pay the "further sum of
$ , payable in four semi-annual
installments, the first installment
being due and payable six months
after contract is made and entered
into by the Nebraska Memorial Asso
ciation for the erection of an ath
letic stadium on the premises of the
University of Nebraska."
Student Payments Due.
Today is the date for the payment
of the second installment. The con
tract was let April 24, 1923, and to
day, October 24, 1923, is just six
months "after contract is made and
entered into by the Nebraska Me
morial Association."
When Nebraska students made
their pledges a year ago, the stadium
was an "air castle."
Today the promised stadium stands
three-fourths completed. It is dedi
cated. It has been the scene of two
thrilling football games between Ne
braska and opposing Missouri Val
ley teams. It stands ready to wel
come all Nebraska opponents, un
doubtedly the finest stadium west of
the Mississippi river and east of the
Rocky mountains. Except in size,
it compares most favorably with the
famous Yale Bowl, and even in that
respect the necessary temporary seats
could be installed to bring the seat
ing capacity of Nebraska's stadium
to within 6,000 of the famous foot
ball field in New Haven.

This condition has nft come
