PHI ALPHA DELTA
TRIMS PHI PSI'S
Score Is 13 to 15 in Protested
Second Round Game
Played Over.
In the only game of the interfra
temity baseball tournament played
yesterday, the Phi Alpha Delta nine
trounced on the Phi Kappa Psi team
with the score of 18 to 5. The game
was a second round game played over.
When the two teams met last week,
the Phi Psi's won 17 to 13, but the
game was protested by the P.A.D.'s
because Beerkle, who is out for track,
played on the winning team.
The P. D. D.'s will now play the
Phi Delta Chi nine in the third
round. The only other game in that
round will be played by the Alpha
Tau Omega's and the Sigma Phi Epsi
lons today.
The P.A.D.'s will now play the
the second inning when they scored
up 9 runs. Grosshans, of the Phi Psi
team, made the only home run of the
game. The P. A. D. batteries were
Norton and Medlin. The Phi Psi bat
teries were Grosshans, Sackett, and
Wright.
May 18 Final Date
for Reservations
Only four University organizations
have submitted applications to the
student council for dates to hold
drives next year. The time limit for
applications is 5 o'clock May 16 and
they must be in by that time. First
and second choice of dates and the
purpose of the drive must be submit

A schedule to be prepared by the
student council and printed in the
"N" book when the applications are
in will bind the organizations to the
dates given them. This will eliminate
conflicts and unnecessary drives next
year.
Chancellor Declares Festival Test
of States Appreciation of Stadium
The Nebraska Memorial Stadium in the memorial stadium if facilities
offers for out of door1 programs pos
sibilities unequaled elsewhere be
tween the Missippi River and the Pa
cific Coast. The May Festival given
on the 14th instant is in a certain
sense an experinent to determine
whether the University, the communi
ty and the state will appreciate the
opportunity for out of door produc
tions that the 6tadium affords. The
program offered on May 14 consist
ing of Elijah by the Minneapolis Sym
phony Orchestra and Mrs. Raymond's
own talent will be a masterpiece. If
it is properly patronized, the Univer
sity will be encourgaged to plan for
even greater things m the future.
If the community is ready to "attend
such out of door gatherings in large
numbers, I have no doubt that the
Regents will see their way to provid
ing for the securing of amplifying de
vices that will make it possible to
have concerts, lectures and public ad
dresses to audiences of 80,000 people.
Undoubtedly the leading candidate
for the presidency of the United
States will gladly accept invitations
to address the people of Nebraska

The University band will play dur

loving cup will be presented to the
most successful group. If it is won
by tbe same sorority three times in
succession it will become the prop
erty of the group permanently.
W. S. G .A. intends to make the
May-day breakfast an annual affair.
It is to be made "a school rally and
tradition.
STADIUM PLEDGES
COMING ill SLOWLY
Secretary Declares Donation
Promises Constitute Busi
ness Obligation.
Payments of stadium pledges due
last month have been very slow ac
cording to the stadium headquarters
office. Only a small percent of thes
pledges have been paid.
"Each individual must feel the re
sponsibility of his pledge to the sta
dium fund," stated Harold Holtz,
alumni secretary. "In making pay
ments the student should regard his
pledge as a business obligation to be
met on time.
"Subscribers have failed to consid
er seriously their action in letting
their pledges slide. Many students
have not made the necessary personal
effort," to get their payments in on

can be provided for amplifying their
voices so that they can be heard thru-
out the entire great struncture.
It is obvious that with the short
age of University funds and the great
need in other directions, a complete
amplifying apparatus of sufficient
capacity to cover both grandstands,
cannot with propriety be purchased at
the expense of the taxpayers. If,
however, the May Festival, which
does not require any elaborate sound
ing apparatus, is a great success the
University will doubtless see its way
to procure a complete modern system
to be paid for out of the future gate
receipts. After the first cost hat
been met, its use can be made free
to the public with such charge only
as will cover the expense of care and
upkeep.
Faculty, students and citizens who
wish to vote for a large use of the
stadium for University and civic pur
poses can do so by attending the May
Festival on May 14 and at the same
time hear a remarkable production
at a very low cost.
