STADIUM STANDS ON
MORTGAGED GROUND
The booth at the corner of twelfth
nd R streets, where students have
ton making the second payments on
their stadium pledges during the past
eek, will be ope'n all day Wednes-
The memorial association decided
to keep the booth open for the con
venience of any students who were
unable to make their payments before
last night. The association had
planned to close the booth then, but
beause of the splendid response to
the appeal made the first of the week,
it was decided to keep the booth open
for one more day.
The association wishes to impress
upon students the necessity of pay
ing the pledges.
"The stadium is a mortgaged piece
of property. It stands on ground be
longing to the University, and the
memorial association must meet
every cent of its obligation if the
stadium is to remain a real part of
the University equipment. Should
the payments fail to be met, the sta
dium and all the ground on which
it stands will have to be sacrificed,"
say the stadium officials.
"Wednesday is positively the last
day that the memorial associa
tion can afford to keep the booth
open for the student body to pay its
pledges. It is necessary for one per
son to be at the booth at all tire's
when it is open, and all available help
is needed in the office at this ti -;ie.
After tonight pledges must be paid
in the office of the association. 106

NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY,
It Can Be Done!
Nebraska has met with but one defeat in gridiron
competition that by Illinois, who stands high in the Big
Ten conference. Nebraska defeated Oklahoma de
cisively. Veteran elevens from Kansas and Missouri throttled
the Cornhuskers to tie -scores. Tie scores are not defeats;
neither are they dishonoraole. It certainly was not dis
appointing when our team fought the Jayhawks and the
Tigers to the final whistle without once giving up or
"quitting."
Seizing upon this combination of circumstances,
however, the professional morale-destroyers and the fair
weather loyalists, on the campus and off the campus,
make wry faces and utter woeful phophecies in thinking
of the game with Notre Dame.
There is defeatist propaganda abroad I
Notre Dame will not bring a squad of super-men to
Nebraska on November 10 every man will be human.
Critics, it is true, have praised Coach Rockne's team
highly. This Indiana team is proud something was said
once of pride and a fall.
Without support our team cannot win. Every Corn
husker must shake off this lethargy and evince that old
time Nebraska spirit. Notre Dame is not invincible
think it, talk it, act it!
Beat Notre Dame!
1924 CORNHUSKER
COMING ALONG FINE
Editorial and Business Staffs
to Be Announced . in
Near Future.
Work on the 1924 Cornhusker is
taking definite form. Editor Robert
F. Craig and the business manager,
David G. Richardson, have completed
preliminary plans for the 1924 year
book. The editorial and business staffs of
the Cornhusker will be announced
soon. The actual work will com
mence at once.
Applications for work on the busi
ness staff may still be filled out and
handed t the business manager in
the Cornhusker office in the base
ment of University hall.
Applications will be received today
for positions of college editors of
the Cornhusker. There will be ten
college sections and about six people
will be used for each. Applications
should be made to Wendell Berge,
junior managing editor, who has com
plete charge of this division or tne
book.
Approximately 110 pages will be
devoted to the colleges and it is one
of the largest sections in the book.
The history, organizations, and grad
uate news of each college will be com
piled by the college staf f . Mr. Berge
will be in the Cornhusker office to
receive applications.
The nroeram of the zoological

a staff composed of all faculty mem

Not Proof
Team is Invincible
found themselves and not only tied
Rutgers but ran up counter after
counter until the final score was
Great Lakes 54, Rutgers 14.
It was the spirit and fight that
won the game, turning aside almost
certain defeat. In 1921, Washington
and Jefferson invaded California,
pitted against a team that had been
ur defeated for two years. Altho
California was a superior team, the
fight and spirit behind W. and J. en
abled them to tie the Californians
and to outplay them.
Centre college, the wonder team of
the nation, in 1921, after displaying
brilliant football all season, were
turned back, defeated by Texas A.
and M. 21 to 14.
These examples show definitely
that the best of teams have suffered
reversals when, in the heighth of their
power. The fact that Notre Dame
has shown a brilliant array of foot
ball is no indication that she can win
from Nebraska. With the spirit that
was manifested at last year's Thanks
behind them, the Ne
braska team can never go down to de
feat.

Remodel Reference
Library in U Hall
The study and reference library
on the third floor of . University hall
is being enlarged and remodeled to
provide larger facilities for both the
librarian and the students.

brary, but will now contain books 'on
the ancient languages as well. Texts
in Spanish, French, Italian, German,
Greek, Latin and other ancient lan
guages, and English readings, are

Letters Sent to
Freshmen Urge
Stadium Pledge
Letters are being sent out to
every freshman in the University ex
plaining the purpose of "Freshman
Week," and telling the freshmen why
he should have a part in the build
ing of Nebraska's Memorial stadium.
It has also been announced by the
committee in charge that all pledg
ing during "Freshman Week" will be
voluntary, thus leaving it entirely
up to the individual freshman as to
whether or not he or she wants to be
a real Cornhusker, a loyal supporter
of the Scarlet and Cream.
Members of the four honorary so
societies, Innocents, Mortarboards,
Vikings, and Silver Serpents, who
are working together with the alumni
association in putting on "Freshman
Week," are urging that no freshman
neglect to do his bit in the move
ment, which will afford the freshman
class their first opportunity to dir
play their loyalty to the University.
Mortarboard, senior girls' honorary
society, is making a special appeal to
all freshman girls to have a 6hare in
the irjvement, and asks them not to
fail to take advantage of this chance
to have a part in Nebraska's greatest
enterprise.
PRICE 5 CENTS
FIRE OPENING
GUNS IN Y.M.C.A.
DRIVE FOR FUNDS
Instructions Given to Twenty
Teams Attending Banquet
at Grand Hotel.
CAMPAIGN CONTINUES
UNTIL FRIDAY NOON
The opening guns in the Y. M.
C. A.'s drive for funds with which to
conduct its work during the coming
year were fired last night when the
200 members of the twenty teams
making the drive gathered at a ban
quet at the Grand hotel to receive
their preliminary instructions.
The campaign which begins today
will continue until Friday noon.
There will also be lunch at the
hotel this noon as well as Thursday
and Friday at noon. Team captains
will report at these meetings.
"No similar amount of money
means as much to the students of
this University as does the. $4,000
spent by the Y. M. C. A.," said Welch
Pogue in telling the team members
of the work of the organization.
Among the most important activities
of the Y. M. C. A., he listed the pub
lishing of the "N" Book and the Stu
dent Directory, the employment
agency which last year placed over
600 men in positions, and the main
tenance of special club rooms.
Pogue also emphasized the fact
that the "Y" is always the first or
ganization to welcome a new man
and make him feel at home in the
school. University Night, one of the
most popular of university affairs,
is also a Y.M.C.A. activity.
W. Paul McCaffree, general sec
retary of the University Y.M.C.A.,
and Dr. E. L. Hinman, chairman of
the board of directors, also gave
short talks. Mr. McCaffree explained
that the year's work depended on
the results of the drive. Last year,
he said, their work was badly hamp
ered by the lack of funds and they
would be able to do much more this
year if the drive "went over big."
Dr. Hinman gave some valuable ad
vice to the solicitors in regard to so
liciting money.
There are five team captains work
ing under the direction of each of
the four division heads who are:
Grant Lantz, Merle Loder, Wendell
Berge and Raymond Eller.
