tee cleared $426.20 from the admis
sion charged at all of the parties. In

uted to the stadium fund, $150 to
the student friendship fund, and $60
will be turned over to the student

STUDENTS SLOW IN
MAKING PAYMENTS
Are Not Paying Third Install
ments on Pledges, Stadium
Headquarters Reports.
The willing response which greeted
the first few days of the campaign
for third installment payments cn the
Nebraska Memorial Stadium pledges
has subsided, and during the last two
days pledges have been coming in to
the office discouragingly slow rate,
the stadium headquarters reports.
Third installments on stadium
pledges fell due April 24 One-fifth
of the total pledge is due ' at this
time. All of the last three pledges
may be paid off but the third one-
fifth of the pledge must be paid now.
It is imperative, say stadium officials,
that these pledges come in promptly
in order that the stadium committee
may make the proper payments on
the trust fund which it borrowed on
the strengh of the student pledges.
Since the last call for pledges was
put out a large number of students
have paid their pledges in full. This
is by far the most desirable method
of payment, both to the student and
to the stadium, say officials, because
it prevents the student from being
further bothered with statements.and
it saves the stadium a large sum of
money which would otherwise be ex
pendad for statements. It is also
worthy of reminder that every cent
saved now means that much more
equipment for the new stadium.
