their ballots that day. The votes
were canvassed by the athletic board

STUDENTS EM
PAY DP PLEDGES
Clean-up Week to Get in Back
Payments Starts Tomor
row Morning.
EIGHTEEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS IS NEEDED
To bring the amount of paid stadi
um pledges up to where it should be,
Nebraska students must pay over
eighteen thousand dollars at the
Alumni office this month. Tho week
of April 13 to 17 has been set aside
as dlenn-up week, and pledges are ex
pected to come in strong.
Students who signed pledges at tho
first campaign will have their last
payment made this month if they
have kept back payments up. At
present there arc nine hundred stu
dents in school who arc behind, but a
good number of them will probably
be turned In next week, according to
the opinion of those in the Alumni
office.
When the first pledges were
signed, 12,000 persons pledged $486,
717, of which twenty per cent was
paid at once. The remainder was is
sued in bonds so that the building of
the Stadium might be started. The
following is a paragraph taken from
the contract with The First Trust
Company:
"In the event default be made by
the Nebraska Memorial Association
in the payment of any installment of
interest or in payment on principal
of any of said bonds that trustee
hereunder, personally or by its
agents or attorneys, may enter into
or upon all or any part of the said
trust estate and use, operate, man
age and .control the same for the
benefit of the owners of the bonds
secured hereby."
The stadium does not belong to
Nebraska unless all pledges are paid,
because bonds cannot be paid with
mere signatures of -students with
good intentions. If true Cornhusker
spirit is to prevail at Nebraska the
pledges will be paid, according to the
management
A committee has been appointed
by the Innocents, made up of stu
dents from all the organizations on
the campus, to assist in the collection
of pledges.
