students do not have to make their
pledges to members of their frater
nity or sorority in the hope that the
organization or person will be given
credit. They will not. Only the
college will be credited. The pledg
ers will be checked up with the fra
ternity membership to ascertain the
proportion of organizations going
above the quota of at least one $25
unit per member. The persons mak
ing pledges will be checked off their
organization list whether thoy make
the pledge to a member of their or
ganization or to some person far ills,
tant from it. The central booth wll!
tend to all that.
Illinois Fine Example
Illinois is a fine example of what
can be ilone toward raising funds for
a Stadium. At the start of a million
dollar subscription campaign for the
purpose of building stadium, a rally
was held and $700,000 in pledges
taken in. That is an average of f 10?
per person.
Illinois has a student body only
twice that of Nebraska.
Of eighteen schools where recent
stadium or union campaigns havf
been held, but one school raised lis
quoin which was for a quadrangle
dormitory by alumni funds. That
school, was Yale, an endowment in
stitution with nn enrollment of
3,326.
Of thirteen state institutions ever
one raised their stadium funds from
subscription campaipnV Only ons
Kansas Apsies, a school half the size
of Nebraska, raised less money thai
Nebraska, $400,000. Nebraska ex
pects to raise $130,000 after Monrta
South Dakota, a state institutloi.
with !S1 students, raised $200,000 in
subscriptions for an alumni building.
Not Only for Athletics
The Nebraska Memorial Stadium
is not simply an athletic field. It
is a memorial. It is a recreation
field for tomorrow's men and women.
It la a symbol of the Cornhusker's
faith in the University. Is is a part
payment of a debt a student must
feel that he owes to the institution
which gives him an education free.
Thore will be a Stadium at Ne
braska. There can be no doubt of
that. Alumni are back of the Sta
dium to the letter. It Is up to the
students to do their small share by
subscribing the full $90,000 asked as
their quota.
Contract Let In January
The contract for the new Me
mortal Stadium will he let In Jan
uary or February. One-fifth of the
total of $430,000 will be In the hands
of the committee at that time. With
that amount on hand, a holding com-1
mtttna ran bn orcanlzel to take care
of the rest of th amount and the
contract for the entire structure can
be let. The 1923 Coinhuskers will
Play football In the new Stadium.
Subscriptions made in the cam
paign two years ago can be renewed
at this time. The cash payments
made on those pledges will hold foi
the cash payments on the new ones.
The old pledges should either be o.
k.'d, or made ont anew at a higher
amount But a few students In
school now made pledges at that
time.
If there wasn't so much fiction
about nations, there wouldn't be so
much friction between them.

Means Leako Feed
How Parker Pens put Capillary
Attraction to actual use
TF EVER an instructor asks you to name a practical use of
the scientific principle of capillary attraction just cite the
Parker Pen with its leak proof "Lucky Curve" feed.
All fountain pen makers were baffled for years by the so
called "sweating" of pens. Inked fingers still cause many
complaints except from those who use Parker Pens.
For Geo. S. Parker solved the problem by inventing the
"Lucky Curve" illustrated above. It forms a contact with the
wall of the ink barrel and r.o matter how much ink sur
rounds it the capillary attraction regulates the flow it is
steady; even and positive at all times.
This is one of the car J.nal reasons that the Parker Pen is in
such high favor wkh educators and student bodies. A pen
that's a help not a distraction when one is concentrating
the mind on study or instruction.
To all students
Come and try the Parker ai the pen counter designated belcw try several
points to find just the right degree far your individual hand.
Prices start as low as $2.50 notwithstanding that all Parker Pens have 14 K
Tolled gold points that cannot rust, corrode or tarnish, and are n-.ade
with the same jeweler s accuracy and finish as the famous 25 -year Parker
Duofold the lacquer-red pen that at $7 became America's leader in less
than a year from its introduction!.
The older students know we welcome their cfemihg o try Parker Pens
whether they buy or not and we feel the satne way toward the freshmen.
