The Daily Nebraskan Freshman, Pledg Freshman, Pledge to the Stadium. the Stadium. to voTgniNO. 37 FRESHMEN START PLEDGES ROLLING TO STADIUM FUND 17S Units Are Already Se-cured-1,127 Is Goal of Committee. HARTLEY AND SCHULTE SPEAKERS AT RALLY The committee in charge of the freshman stadium drive urges that all freshmen who have not yet been seen by members of the committee to go to the campaign headquarters in the lobby of the Temple and make' a voluntary pledge today. The committee has over a thousand names of fresh Ben, and it takes some time before every freshman can be seen. The committee explained that every freshman would be talked to, but that it would be some time before every freshman could be inter viewed personally. Four hundred and seventy-five units had been secured Tuesday night towards the 1127 unit goal for fresh man subscriptions to the Nebraska memorial stadium. The difficulty which is causing the slowness of the response seems to be that the present freshmen are not taking the athletic structure and its building as seriously as did the stu dents who were on the campus last year. Between this morning and Thurs day evening at 5 o'clock every fresh man man and woman will be inter viewed personally, according to the plans of the special stadium com mittee which is at work receiving subscriptions from the " freshmen. The thermometer of freshman sta dium pledges went quickly up to 500 units at the big rally held yester day morning in the Armory and then stopped. Twelve hundred freshmen, both men and women assembled at 10 o'clock and heard speeches given by "Chick" Hartley and Coach Henry Schulte, but they failed to Teach even half of their quota of 1127 units. Hartley Speak. Hartley, last year's football cap tain, gave a very enthusiastic and inspiring speech. He first showed the freshmen why they came to Ne braska, "because it is the greatest school in the Missouri Valley. He then explained what real loyalty to a school should mean. Coach Schulte Talk. In a speech directly following Hartley's, Coach Schulte said, "The stadium idea is so completely sold to me, the very action is so apparent and definite, that it seems as though everyone should feel the same way about it I belong to the stadium, I am part of it. It was given by Ne braska peoale to the University of Nebraska aid it stands for those gone beyond." "You are now having a chance to make a big score for your class. If are to make Nebraska great, we must give from hearts as well as Poeketbooks," added the coach. "Don't forget that what you are now doing is going 'to be repeated by others in the future, perhaps not on this project but on some other. Ne braska is just beginning to grow, and there will be many other projects in the future," Mr. Schulte con cluded.

DRIVE ENDS WITH TOTAL OF $1475 Enough to Fill Budget for Year But Leaves Note of $500 Unpaid. Fourteen hundred dollars was the total reported at the final luncheon yesterday of the workers in the drive for money with which to conduct the Y. M. C. A. activities during the present year. Several teams did not report ?.nd it is expected that a com plete check will show a total of $1475 which will be enough to fulfill the budget for the year but will leave a $500 note unpaid.

Martin, general chair man of the drive, said that although the goal of $2,000 had not been reached, the campaign had exceeded his expectations. "The spirit shown by those who took part in the drive was wonderful and was the principal factor in mak ing the drive a success," he stated. "More than twice as much money was raised this year as last," said W. Paul McCaffree, general secre tary of the University Y. M. C. A. "All those connected with the drive are well satisfied with the outcome." More than 600 university students contributed to the fund. We hope to be able to make up the deficit "by other means." Four of the twenty teams taking part in the drive reached the quota of $100 set for each team. Wendell Brown, John Ricker, Monroe Glea son and Earl Smith were the tap tains of . these teams. The toam cap tained by Clarie Fairchild with $98 to its credit came near the top. The University Y. M. C. A. re ceives money from three sources, as follows: Community Chest $2,000. alumni, parents and miscellaneous $900 and student subscriptions $1,475.

A judicial committee of five mem bers of the Student Council, repre sentative student governing body, was appointed Tuesday night to have complete jurisdiction over cases of disputes arising in connection with the wearing of green caps by fresh men, cases of violation of honor in examinations and cases incident to reports that certain students in the University of Nebraska have refused to observe the rules of courtesy ob served during the singing or playing of the Nebraska anthem, the Corn husker. The committee, consisting of Diet rich Dirks, chief justice, Ruth Small, Clifford. Hicks, Josephine Shramek and Robert F. Craig will go into ses sion immediately. The first case on the list will probably be that of a freshman sutdent who has refused to wear a green cap. An investigation into the case will be made by the committee and a hearing for the freshman and the Iron Sphinx as the enforcing com mittee will be held. The appointment of the committee form the Student Council to handle the situation was made as the out come of the report of the disputes to the council for settlement. Protest Against Conduct. A violent protest was registered with the council against certain named students who refused to stand during the singing of the "Corn husker" at the opening of a class. This is not the first nor second viola tion of this courtesy by these same students, according to the protest registered at the council meeting. The judicial committee will take the case under advisement. The offend ing students will be called before the committee this week. Urge Faculty Leniency. Members of the council urged that faculty members be more lenient in some cases in allowing the classes to sing Nebraska songs before each class session as a part of the general singing campaign of the week. Fac ulty members who stopped the sing ing of one song before class were scored in the discussion. Violations of the green cap tradi tion will be referred by the Iron Sphinx to the Student Council for settlement, according to an agree ment of .the Sphinx and the council Tuesday. The finding of the judici ary committee will be adhered to in every case. Any student is requested to send reports of any violations of tradi tion, either personally or by a signed statement, addressed to the Student Council.

The car veered diagonally across the street dragging the girls under it and struck a cement curb post where it stopped. Claimed to Be Going Slowly.
