THIRD INSTALLMENTS
FALL DUE THURSDAY
Stadium Payments of $5 Will
Be Collected at Booth at
Entrance.
"Next Thursday the third in
stallments on stadium pledges fall
due. The stadium is here and is
being used by Nebraska, but it is
not paid for. Whether or not we
finish the job depends upon the
spirit, loyalty and Nebraska qual
ity which is shown by the students,
alumni, and all donor.
"The third installment and all
past installments must be paid
now if the stadium program is to
continue. Let's save our dollars
for Thursday, pay our install
ments promptly, and see old Ne
braska go on." Coach H. F.
Schulte.
Second installments on pledges
made this year and third installments
on those made last year fall due on
April 24. The stadium office is pre
paring to make it possible for every
student to pay part of his share of
Nebraskas Memorial stadium on that
date. Nebraskans are asked to make
their payments promptly in order
that the money borrowed to complete
the stadium for use may be paid to
save interest charges.
The following statements from
prominent Cornhuskers emphasis?
the importance of paying stadium ob
ligations Prof. R. D. Scott:
"One of the customary things
about the University of Nebraska and
its teams is that they always finish
creditably. On as big a job as the
building of the tadium, we can't af
ford to have a reputation of not hav
ing everyone do bis part.
"Our pride in our state and our
University will not permit us to make
a-failure in this undertaking.
Gertrude Tomsoa:
"Our Nebraska Memorial stadium,
beautiful and almost complete as it
is, will not be a success until it is
paid for. The money pledged wito
a splendid spirit of loyalty and sacri
fice is now partly due, and that same
loyalty requires our ptompt payment

INTERFRAT DINNER
COMES ON MAY 7
Interfraternity Council Spon
sors Banquet at Cham
ber of Commerce.
GIVES PLAQUES FOR
SCHOLASTIC RECORDS
The first (annual interfraternity
banquet, sponsored by the Interfra
ternity Council, will be held at the
Chamber of Commerce May 7. A
speaker of national repute will be
secured for the banquet by Chancel
lor S. Avery. ' After the addresses,
the badges for high scholastic stand
ing will be presented to the frater
nities which qualified for them the
last semester last year and the first
semester this year.
Alumni have given bronze plaques
to the council to be awarded to a
certain number of fraternities hav
ing the lowest number of delinquen
cies for the school year. These
plaques will remain the property of
the fraternities winning them until
the banquet held the next year, when
the new winners will be awarded
them. The banquet is intended to
be an annual affair.
The idea of an annual banquet of
this type was approved at the meet
ing of the Interfraternity Council
held about two weeks ago. Frater
nities are to be rated in the future,
not only on high grades but from
the number of delinquent members
they have. The fraternity which
comes the closest to a certain stand
ard of scholarship will be awarded
a badge designed by Paul Laune of
Lincoln.
