In student body assembly Friday
morning there was discussion by va
rious students of the possibility of
the university losing Coaches McKale
and Pierce on account of their having
been offered higher salaries and bet
ter positions elsewhere. Attention
was called to the fact that through
the efforts of Coach MeKale, the uni
versity had risen to its present height
in athletics and that it consequently
could not afford to lose Coach Nc
Kale at this time. A. resolution was
made and passed that "the student
body go on record as being in favor
of the immediate completion of the
new athletic field and that the board
of regents be requested to give this
matter their immediate attention and
that the board of regents be asked
to do all in their power to retain the
services of Coaches McKale and
Pierce"
There is a possibility. according to
Manager Barnes, that the university
may have built around the athletic
field, a stadium which would seat
5000 people Such a stadium would
cost probably about $4,000 and work
on it could be completed in 80 days
Nothing definite can readily be de-
cided until the plans are laid before
the authorities. but there is a chance
that u of A. may have a stadium
next year.
