is at last a reality. Last Friday the
entire male student body, with the
majority OF the men of the faculty,
put in the entire day In labor on the|
field, digging trenches. laying pipe.
building fence, and preparing the
field for grass seed. At the request
of the wv" Club. which fostered the
plan, President Nelson consented to
a revival OF the old tradition naming
one day In the spring as "NelsonI
Day" for work in improving and
identifying the campus. and this year
that day was devoted wholly to, the,
athletic field. AS a result, the UNI
versity will have an excellent turf
field for football games, and q good
practice field as we'll; q. ball diamond
equal to any in the conference. and
a place for track and field eventsl
The new field Is located on the east
