PLAN HEW STADIUM
FOR HORTIIWESTERH
Lei Contract Soon For Model Con
tractiont Will Break Ground
About May 1
EVANSTON, 111., March 16.
Contractu are to be let .within the
next two or three weeks for North
western University's proposed new
stadium. There will be a hiatus of
a fortnight possibly between the ac
tual request for bids and the final
awarding of contracts. On or about
May 1, the first ground will be brok
en, with appropriate ceremony. It
Is proposed now that President Wal
ter Dill Scott preside and that the
first shovelful of earth shall be turn
ed by Melvin M. Hawley, president
of the general alumni association of
Northwestern University. Other lead
ing figures to be present will be
William A. Dycho, business manager
whose efforts have been tireless in
bringing to Northwestern an up-to
HAte stadium plant: Director of Ath
letics Kenneth L. Wilson; Coach
Glenn Thistlethwaite ; Professor O,
P. Lone, head of the faculty commit
tee of athletics; the sport-editors of
the several Chicago and Evanston
newspapers; president of the student
council at Northwestern; head of the
snorts departments of the various
press associations and others well
known in the sports world.
President Scott will make a brief
address and Mr. Hawley also will
talk regarding the importance of
physical education. It is hoped to
have the Northwestern University
band out in full regalia and, all in
all, the date and event will be cele
brated in fitting style. An inter
ested onlooker will be Gavin Had-
den, stadium engineer, connected
with the architects office of James
Gamble Rogers. Mr. Hadden will be
in constant touch with the stadium
committee and his advice will be in
demand when the time comes to con
sider the bids.
Seating Capacity Will Be 74,000
The first section" of the great
three-deck concrete stadium, will be
built this year and will be a two
decker to seat 49,000 persons. Fea
tures will be the few steps, the easy
exit and commodious entrances; also
the easy ramps leading to the upper
tiers. Later, if thei-e is great need for
it; the stadium will be given a third
deck on either side. That will bring
the seating capacity up to 60,000.
Then, if there still seems to be de
mand for seats, provision at the
south end for a solid block of bleach
er seats is to be made and at the
north end for temporary stands.
Meanwhile, the temporary seats may
be used with the completion of the
first section of the plant. All in all,
the final seating capacity will be up
wards of 74,000.
Mr. Hadden has made a close per
sonal study of all the stadii plants
in the United States and will endeav
or to incorporate in to the North
-western stand the most utilitarian
features of eachand all. Special at
tention is to be paid to drainage,
there will be a running track within
the walls and underneath the two
sides of the plant; there will be suite
after suite for teams and various per
sons And organizations that are in
tent on physical upbuilding. There
will be provision for locker rooms,
shower baths, toilets; special suites
for the home and for the visiting
teams. There will be a suite for the
faculty members who like squash and
other games. Elevators will lead to
an extremely comfortable press
stand. There will be private en
trances to these elevators and pri
vate exits. The press stand will be
glazed and heated; there will be
abundant telephone and telegraph
facilities. Shelves underneath the
writing stands will provide a con
venient place for papers and other
paraphernalia. Visibility will be as
sured the reporters no matter if the
spectators just below get excited and
stand up to yell. Rooms for the
coaches will be provided; there will
he a special supply room; an assembly-room
and blackboard where
"skull practice" may be effectively
given; hand-ball courts, a wrestling
room, apart from the other suites,
and many other features that will ap
peal not only to the students but to
the public at large.
Engineer Hadden is especially
anxious that the exits be ample and
that the ramps leading from the
ground floor upwards be easy and in
viting. It is planned to so arrange
the great plant that the stands may
be cleared in a few minutes.

RECREATION SCHOOL
OPENS 1IEXT FAIL
Playground Association Undertake
Training College Graduate
To Be Leader
A national recreation school will
open its doors to college graduates
next autumn. It will be located in
New York City.
This training center, which the
Playground and Recreation Associ
ation of America will conduct, has
come into being because of a demand
for professional training in recre
r''on leadership from throughout the
United States. More than 700 cities
have organized community recreation
programs Involving athletics, play
grounds, swimming pools, community
centers, municipal . golf courses,
community dramatics, music and
numerous other activities. The sup
ply of trained leaders to direct these
leisure time programs is inadequate.
Upstanding men of character, re
sourcefulness, leadership and training
ere needed. The opening class will
be limited to fifty persons. '
The spirit nd method of the school
will be non-academic. Instructors
selected from the ablest recreation
leaders of the country will be of the
stimulating and inspiring type that
makes work with them a pleasure,
not a chore. Discussion, demonstrat
ion, practice, action these are the
heart of the school's methods. Direct
contact of the School with the Play
ground and Recreation Association
of America, with its twenty years ex
perience and abundance of field re
ports, assures the practical quality
of the instruction. Among the stu
dents, moreover, will be recreation
executives from whom much may be
learned. The salaries of the recre
ation superintendents range from
$2,200 to $6,500. Those who begin
work as assistants or as directors of
activities receive less.
The course is covered in three
sessions from September through
June. The school is non-commercial ;
for the first year tuition will be
waived.

students, particularly Japanese, that
their brothers are with them for in
ternational friendship, and willing to-
prove it by resisting compulsory
military training."
What Justice is it for a nation
which rejected conscription under the
Chamberlain Bill in 1920 as un-Am
erican principle, and by an over
whelming majority, to force it by a
back door route upon those college
students who elect to attend the land-
grant institutions."
"One great menace is that
the passive, supine acceptance of
compulsory military training here
discourages the'liberals of Japan who
have been resisting militarism In
their own colleges with real heroism.
"The hardest thing Allan Hunter,
Stanley High, and myself will have
to explain when working among
them next year, will be the failure
of American students in land-grant
colleges to take a stand for volun
tary training and to oppose conscrip
tion to the limit," he said.
Resolution Adopted by the Acacia
Fraternity.
WHEREAS: We believe the agi
tation being promoted to abolish com
pulsory military training at the Uni
versity of Nebraska is not a student
movement and does not reflect the
views of the majority of the male
students there enrolled, but is part
of a national program being foster
ed by persons outside of the Univer
sity;
WHEREAS: the goal of the agl
tators is the futherance of pacifism
and abolition of military training in
any form by obtaining voluntary
military training which, they believe,
will mean the cessation of military
training at the University of Ne
braska :
WHEREAS: we believe the at
tack on the compulsory feature of
the present system is only a cloud to
befog the real issue;
WHEREAS; we believe the publi
city given the agitation is a misre-

WHEREAS: we are opposed to
future wars, but believe that a rea

necessary; and that the present sys

WHEREAS: we believe the bene

student, by way of physical exer

shadow any objection to the system;

The spirit of young Japan is prog

sage was received from the youth
of Japan stating, "We the youth of

being discouraged because the lead

the compulsory military training in

by the apparent eagerness for war of
the youth of America. America is
arming and arming until they will be
pushed into a war as Germany was,
to be relieved from the tension of
compulsory military training.
"Unless something is done here at
Nebraska, at Drake, and at all the
colleges and universities where they
have compulsory training we will
not be able to convince the rest of
the world that the youth of Ameri
