III STRUCTURE
Each Member of the Graduating
Class to be Asked to Sub
scribe Minimum of $25
STADIUM WILL BE .
STARTED IN JUNE
Underclassmen Not to be Asked
For Donations Until Start
ing of Fall Term
TIr' University Stadium is a reality
if tin.' seniors of the university come
across according to expectations. The
first campaign fur funds for the new
stru iu: o i:i bains started today
union.!: the members of the graduating
class and it is expected that every
member will subscribe the proscribed
minimum of $-3 which is being asked.
For three days, fifteen caiptaans
will work to get subscriptions for the
new structure. For three days sen
iors will be asked to subscribe toward
the new stadium. And then a lucked
committee, will be appointed to see
all those who may have been missed
in the first roundup at the commence
ment exercises. It is firmly believed
that every senior will come across
with the amount asked.
The subscriptions being solicited
now will not conflict with those se
cured in the drive, for funds for the
memorial stadium. Students who sub
scribed to that structure will be asked
to hoi. st their total to $25 and in case
they already have subscribed, that
much they will nol be asked for more.
Captains Meet Monday
A meet ing of the captains, each of
whom will appoint two lieutenants to
assist in the work of soliciting funds,
was held Monday and it was agreed
then that a minimum of $25 would
not he too much and possibly it would
not he enough. It is but a fraction
of Hit; tetal the university ha3 given
each student during the time lie has
been a resident here and it is only
.-.bout as much as most any school in
the country would usk as fees for one
seimsier. It is a very reasonable
amount and every senior should sub
scribe to it. Coach Fred T. Dawson,
Guy Heed and Harold F. Ho'.tz talked
to the captains.
The subscriptions may bo made in
Installments. The first payment will
be made at the time of making the
subscription and the remainder will
be paid in. two installments coming
due September 1, 11)922 and January
1. 19211.
Underclassmen will be asked fur
subscriptions to the new stadium
when school starts next fall. hTe
funds which the seniors subscribe
new together with the money already
oti hand will be enough to make a
food start on the structure now. The
first ground will be broken in June.
A celebration will probably be held
at the same time. At least some of
the football games next fall will prob
ably be played on the new field, only
a part of which is to be completed at
the present time.
Nebraska must have a stadium If
it is to compete with other schools In
the country. Every large institution
has already built or Is building large
and appropriate athletic fields and if
Nebraska is to hold the high place
which it now holds In the "realm of
sport" it must have a new stadium
within a short while. The present
field is many times too small and
until a new and larger field is built
Nebraska cannot hope to secure big
ger schools to play on the home
grounds.
Big Seating Capacity
The new stadium as planned will
seat 25,000 people. It will run north
and south with the entrance gates
on the south. It will extend from the
south side of the' present Nebraska
field to the tracks north of the pres
ent field. It will be oval in shape and
will contain a track with a 220 yard
straightaway.
