Business Manager Otto Skold Circulation Managor COACH ZUPPKE'S APPEAL Seven hundred and twenty stu dents have not paid the second iif .stallnient on their stadium pledges that has been due since last October 24. Coach Henry Schulte made a forceful statement a few days ago, in which he appealed to the students to make good their pledges. The University of Illinois used for the first time last season its new stadium that will cost over two mil lion dollars when completed. The money was raised by subscriptions by alumni and students, and they, like Nebraskans, have been a little slow in making good their pledges. Coach Robert Zuppke issued a statement under the heading "Fight to Complete Stadium in 1924." The same condition exists here at Nebras ka. The athletic department will be seriously hampered in their work, un less the stadium be properly equipped and this equipment can only be pur chased if the pledges are promptly met when due. . Nebraska spirit when aroused, is equal to that of any University in iL . j mi.. me country, xne same cuiiuiuuu ire vails here as that which Coach Zup pke discusses, and his message can be addressed to Nebraskans with equal effect. His statement follows: "FIGHT TO COMPLETE STADIUM IN 1924 I know that the football men are anxious that the Memorial Stadium shali be completed for Homecoming next fall that they may have the honor of dedicating it I am sure that a completed Stadium will be a great incentive for them to surpass themselves. But, after all, that is not the big point. Above every other reason, there should be a completed Stadium to show to the college world the deq termination of the alumni and the students of Illinois to complete what ever they start. I remember how proud I was when Tad Jones, football coach of Yale, told me that nothing had ever im pressed him so much as the demon stration of loyalty by the students of Illinois in the big mass meeting which launched the drive for the Memorial Stadium. That is an ex ample of the favorable opinion and comment on the great project. There will be another RlnS of com ment if Illinois, through the derelic tion of some of the subscribers to the Stadium, is unable to complete it this year as planned. There will be those who will point to the un finishe d?tructure as evidence of the the hollowness of the spirit of fight ing Illini, even if the situation is due to the remissness of a minority and discounts the loyal record of the majority. Illini is alumni and students would have nothing but scorn for a football team which "quit." They would have the feeling that they had been betrayed. They expect the athletes who represent them to fight against the heaviest odds to fight as the champions of 1923 fought in the Ohio stadium last November, when Ohio had the ball on the Illinois one foot line and an Ohio touchdown meant almost certain defeat and the loss of the championship. Capt. Jim McMillen said that the boys saw "those gold footballs flying away" and they HELD! Show the same kind of spirit that you expect from your athletes, you subscribers whose delay in meeting your obligations today places in doubt the completion of the Stadium in 1924. Don't let some of Illinois' prestige fly away. Fight to make rood your pledf, There is -no achievement in the world that amounts to anything that does not require fight and sacrifice. Illinois will be judged by the finish not by the start. Fight for a symbol of accomplishment of a realized RAG CARPET Aasistancal Succor I " THE COLLEGE CREED.

(Michigan Daily) Complaints of various natures are constantly being received by men who are connected in some way with the legislative powers of the state or nation, and which include in great part the protest against the sup posed high taxation for education. It is to be admitted of course that huge sums of money are each year expended for educational purposes in the United States, but when these figures are placed along side the amounts spent for luxuries and pleas ures, it will be readily seen that after all, education does not cost as much as it would seem, speaking propor tionally. To even maintain a fair education al system costs a great deal of money. Last year, $1,500,000,000 was spent on education. As against this however, there was spent $2, 1110,000,000 for tobacco, and $1, 800,000,000 for candy, soft drinks, and ice cream. The cost for joy rid ing and pleasure is set at $3,000, 000,000. Just for a moment re flect over these figures and see for yourself what the comparative costs are. It is rather astounding to know the actual truth of the situa tion. ' True education is really in its in fancy here in the United States. It will take at least several generations before the stage is reached where a system will be perfected in which there will exist a co-ordination be tween education and life. Until such a stage is reached, education really amounts to nothing more or less than experimentation. And it is this ex perimentation that costs. When a more efficient educational system is brought into being, it is a definite thing that taxation for education will increase, for it will take on entirely new aspects and become and serve a more practical purpose than it at present doc. However, when that time comes, we shall probably have a different type of taxpayer to, con tend with. are invited. Union Open meeting Friday at 8:30. Discussion Group.

Geologists Discuss Permian Red Beds The semi-monthly meeting of the geology seminar was held last eve ning at the Grand hotel. Following the dinner at 6 o'clock, a discussion of the Permian red beds of the United States took place. Mr. Fos ter, student of geology, who has done extensive field work in the Permian red beds of Kansas and Oklahoma, gave the principal address of the evening, telling of the probable ori gin, extent and uses of these beds. "They extend from southern Ne braska, through Kansas and Okla homa, and into Texas, covering the central portions of each state. They are the largest Permian beds in the United States, there being only two other beds known on this continent. They are located in Ne wMexico and Virginia," said Mr. Foster in describ ng the beds. "No one knows the true origin of the red beds exept that they date from the Permian age. All indications point to the theory that they were probably formed by rivers emptying into an inland sea," he said. "The beds are Important and are worked for their deposits of common salt and gypsum. Oil and gas are also found in the panhandle regions Texas," Mr. Foster pointed out. Following Mr. Foster's talk a gen eral discussion on the Permian red beds of the world took place. The Remedy for Thirst and Hunger Any of oiir many delicious fountain delicacies are sure cures.
