Beautiful Stadium Graces Campus BY P. V. CARDON, ' 09
Chairman Athletic Council U. A. C. has a stadium-a beautiful stadium , possessing character and imposing dignity, and yet, withal , displaying a remark ab ly high degree of utility. In this stadium, through the years to come, Aggies shall witness thrilling gridiron battles, numerous stirring races, many pagean ts and an untold number of other activities ; but no game, nor meet nor dramatic event is likely to endure longer in the minds of those fortunate beings who see these things than the beauty of the place itself. Merely to feel yourself within the satisfying embrace of this gigantic horseshoe, which seems to hold you almost as if it were magnetized, is worth all of the time and trouble entailed in even a long journey back to the campus of your Alma Mater. The first stadium to be constructed in the lntermountain region, this one stands today a fitting , lasting memoral to the leadership of the Utah Agricultural College, and to the foresight and helpful support of the many friends of this Institution. Completed in a year, without cost to the College, the stadium is now at the disposal of this school; and ultimately, through a favorable contract with the Logan business men constituting the U. A. C. Building Association , the beatftiful structure will become College property. The city of Logan also must be remembered as having been magnanimous in contributing the site on which the stadium has (Continued on Last Page. )

The College will open its Fall quarter Friday, September 23 , when entrance examinations for those students who wish them will be given, and special instruction and entertainment for Freshmen will be held. A new policy of registerting the Freshmen sepa rately has been inagurated by the College this year. The College calendar for 1927-28 is as follows: The Fall quarter begins September 23 and ends December 21; the Christmas recess will be December 22 to January 3, inclusive ; the Winter quarter begins January 4 and ends March 23 ; the Spring quarter begins March 24 and closes June I. The Annual Alumni busi 11ess meeting and social is scheduled for June 1; Commencement and the Alumni banquet and ball, June 2; and Baccalaureate Sermon, June 3. The summer quarter opens June 11 and ends August 24. Prof. F. R.

The 1927 catalogue lists two new schools at the College, Education 'and Engineering. The School of Education is entirely new, being made possible by action of the State Legislature at its last meeting. Dean A. H. Saxer of the School of Arts and Science will also be Dean of the School of Education. The School of Engineering comprises three major departments: agricul tu ral engineering, civil engineering and mechanic arts. Dean Ray B. West is head of the School of Engineering. A new department of Forestry was created by
the Board of Trustees in a recent session . This will make it possible for students to begin a course of study leading to the degree in Forestry. The Ogden Forest Office will give help with the new courses. -0--
SUMMER SESSION SUCCESSFUL. According to Dr. James H . Linford , who is in charge of the summer quarter, the summer session just closed was eminently successful. The registration , while smaller than in 1924 and 19 25. was satisfactory. Class work was conducted on a high plane. Many national figures were present, as in previous years. The coaching school. under the direct charge of Coach Romney, attracted coaches from all of the western states. The registration during the fore part of the school reached 100. Coach Romney gave work in track ; Coach Forrest C. Allen of Kansas University, in basketball ; Coach Knute Rockne of Notre Dame, in football ; Professor Leaf of the B. Y. U ., in swimming, and George Nelson, in wrestling. IMPROVEMENTS MADE AT BARNS DURING SUMMER. E x tensive improvements have been made at the barns during the su mmer, including painting of the exterior of all the buildings as well as the interior of the dairy barn and milk house , the moving of the hog houses and the construction of a new horse and show yard ' on the former location of the buildings, and the construction of a new Veterinary Clinic Building, located imm ediately north of the horse barn. Th e buildin g is not ye t completed, but work on it is proceeding rapidly . It will be excellently equipp d for all work in veterinary science. Three former gradua tes of the College have been appointed to the faculty of the Brigham Young University at Provo for the coming school year. Dr. Parley Christensen , ' 14, has been ad ded to the departme nt of E ngiish ; Dr. George Hansen , '18, will he assistant professor of geology and geography ; and Miss Anna Page, '22 , has been appointed instructor in foods and nutrition. According to Secretary Berntson's report for the year ending June 30, 1927 , every department in the College is in excellent condition. For the first time in many years, the Student Body organization showed a balance rather than the usual deficit.

With the Alumni in Idaho Random observations made by the Executive Secretary while visiting the old grads in the Gem State this summer. "Arch" Egbert, '15, is located at McCammon, and is spending half of his time teaching in the high school there, and the remainder among the farmers of the vicinity. He is also interested in fox es, and keeps a few on the side. '"Arch " can still kick a mean football, and is develop¡ing a real team at the high school. Laurn E . Crookston, '2 0, one of Coach Watson's proteges and a member of the team that won the Rocky Mountain Conference C hampi¡ onship in football in 1917, is working for the Amalgamated Sugar Co. as field agent, and is living in Preston.
E. J . Diehl, '22 , believes in living the simple and healthful, and to him, highly fascinating life, and is farming at Filer, in the fertile Twin Falls section. " Steve" is running a h erd of Jerseys, and has a flock of White L eghorns that shell out the eggs considerably better than the average. Incidentally, "Steve" is enthusiastic about the Library Fund , and signed a liberal pledge. Albert G. Stanger, ' 23 , is managing a warehouse at Idaho Falls, but still finds time to distribute a few football posters for " Dick" Romney in the farmer's home town. " Bert" isn ' t married, but is prospecting around . Elmer C. Rigby, 'J 6, is in the potato-buying business in Idaho Falls, and is located on Spud Alley. Elmer stays perpetually young, and never allows his interest in Aggie activities to wane.
L. L. Cook, ' 11, and his wife , formerly Florence Dudley, ' 10, are engaged in the sheep business in the Bear Lake country, and are living at Garden City. The Cooks- have had a series of misfortunes over take them recently, starting with their home burning down and ending with hail taking their grain crop, but they don ' t allow such little things as these to. interfere with their happiness. They are building a new home, and have a splendid family to enjoy it. I van R . Egbert, 'I 1, and H. J. Hartvigsen, ' 13, are two Aggies who have heard the call of medicine and are practicing in Idaho. "Ive"
is at Shelley, and "H. J ." at Do w ney. have excellent practices.
Both
R . Elmer Brossard , ' 14, is county agricultural agent at Twin Falls. All of the older grads remember Elmer as one of the shiftiest backfield m en produced at U . A . C. Elmer has lost none of his congeniality, and looks fit to pilot a Big Blue Team as skillfully as formerly. Mrs. Oretta Merrill -Carlson, ' 21, is living in Preston , where her husband , Carl Carlson, is engaged in the furniture business. Oretta will be remembered as the winn er of the Hayball medal the year she graduated, and an excellent student. She has two fine children. - - a- SCHOOL OF COMMERCE TO OCCUPY THIRD FLOOR. In order to develop a more commercial atmosphere, it is contemplated housing the School of Commerce on the third floor of tbe Main Building, and the School will eventual!y occupy the entire floor with the exception of the space devoted to the Art Studio. Alterations and improvements now going on wil! make possible office space for all members of the faculty in the School of Commerce, as well as a general reading room , an accounting laboratory, and a combined seminar and departmental library room. These will be ready for the opening of the Fall quarter. IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE AT SMART GYMNASIUM. N ew bleachers are being installed at the Smart Gymnasium which it is thought will make possible the seating of fifteen hundred people. The seats are being constructed under the supervision of R . 0. Larsen , superintendent of buildings. The old seating system has been found to be entirely inadequate to take care of the crowds. The playing floor will also be extended several feet by moving the north basket back. This will make the Aggie floor similar in size to most of the floors of the other schools in the Conference. --o-" Y our letter came last week, and as I am very much interested in the progress of the U. A . C. I am going to sign it and return it to you. . . . . I am going on a mission next spring and I have money to pay back which I borrowed to go to school, so I am afraid I cannot pay the pledge this year nor in the next two or three years, but I shall try and pay some this next spring. Hoping the campaign is a success, I remain a loyal A15gie."-Alice Jenkins, '27.

WE 'RE HAPPY The way pledges, checks and letters of encouragement have been pouring in the past few days makes the members of your Committee having in charge the Library Fund drive mighty happy. Durin g the si x- da y period from September 12 to 17, $1710 in p ledges and cash was received . We all remember the words of the old Aggie song, "And folks shook their heads and in solemn words they said, they knew that ir. couldn ' t be done." Some folks said that this raising of an Alumni Library Fund couldn' t be done. But it is being done . The Alumni are seein g to that.

Football Prospects ROMNEY FACES TASK OF DEVELOPING GREEN MATERIAL. BY MILTON MERRILL, ' 25.
UTAH AGGIES 1927 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE. October 8-Western State Teachers at Logan , First game in the New Stadium . October 15-Montana State College at Ogden. October 22-Wyoming University at Logan . October 29-Brigham Young University, at Logan . November 5--Colorado Aggies, at Logan. November 11-Denver University at Denver. November 24-Utah University at Salt Lake City. December 17-University of Hawaii at Honolulu. Ten letter men lost by graduation, eleven letter men back as well as a great deal of new and very green material, a new stadium to dedi cate, the best home schedule the Aggies have ever had, and Coach Dick Romney still at the helm is the present football situation. The veterans who have played their last game are : Floyd Thomas, L ee Gibbs, Bill Geddes , Ken Smith , all backs, and Newell Sanders, T ed Foxley, Dave Gardner, Mel Hamilton, V ern Love, and Lioyd Nuffer, linemen . These men are a tremendous single-season loss and it w ill take all of Dick Romney 's well-known skill to build a strong team. The men who have won football letters and w ho are back are.: Cap tain Howard Linford , allconference tackle ; Bob Gibbons, all conference guard; Cranne y, center ; Schaub, guard ; Martindale , end; Nielson, end ; Warburton , qu ar terback ; Hawley, fullb ack ; Wad e. h alfback : Smart, ha lfback; and Hurren, fullback . The freshman ranks graduated several prom1S1ng youn gste rs, several of them with size, and some former squad members are maki ng determined b ids for positions. It is also probable that H arry Clark, sensational guard in 1924, will come back and if he does h e should h andl e on e of the wing positions very nice] y. Coach Romney has had the boys work ing out in a pre-season camp for two weeks, and h e has tw o more w eeks before the opm in g game in the stadium with Western State Teachers of Col orado on October 8. All of the avail able candi dates have bee n in the camp with the exception of Clark and this means that the Aggies should be about one week ahead of their usual condi-
tion at the time of the opening game. Another pleasant thing is that practically ever¡y man on the squad thinks he can win a place on the team and every man is fighting every minute. There has n ever been a better spirit than exists right now and that should mean an average of one touchdown a game. Several new men are likely candidates for regular positions. Glen Worthington is favored as one of the halfbacks. Sparks and Welch, two freshmen of last year, are also looking good. Sparks has the size but to win a place he will have to beat both Wade and Smart and both of these two are going better than last season. Gardner, another frosh graduate with 190 pounds to his credit. is giving Cranney a great race for center position . Doug Bergeson has been out of school for a couple of years but he appears to be a great guard prospect. He hasn't the size that some young men attain but he has strength, fight , and the tenacity of a bull dog. Lyman Bennion is out for an end position as w ell as Jensen , 180 pound halfback, with the frosh last season. Phillips and Dahle, squad members last year, are the leading candidates for the open-tackle berth. Other ambitious soph linemen are Judah , Day, Sorensen , and C. Gardner. Noel Bennion , track man , is trying for a backfield place and he may come through. Th e general expectation is that the Aggies will have an avera ge team , possibly a little betten than that. Just now the big problem seems to be the backfield . No " Butch" Knowles or Luke Falck, or Floyd Thomas has been discovered . There may not be a really grea't ball carrier, a trul y polished performer in the group but they will all be hard fighters and it may be that Coach Romney can work out a combination that will be superior in steady groundga inin g ability to many Aggie backfields in the past. The line should be slightly heavier and just as good as last year. Nearly every other school in the conference expects to have a better team than last season, so there w ill be a bitter battle for the championship. It isn ' t reasonable to predict that the Aggies will win the championship. On the basis of material they shouldn' t come close but we have a suspicion that they will be in the upper group.

Without the interest, loyalty and untiring activity of all who have cooperated in tbis rroject, it could never have been completed. The opening game in the stadium is to be played October 8th, against Colorado Teachers; and there are to be three other games played during the season , against Wyoming, Brigham Young University and Colorado Aggies. One of the two last named games will be designated as Dedication game. A terrific effort is being made to fill the stadium for the opening game. and present indications warrant the belief that this aim may be realized . A still greater ambition on the part of the Athletic Council and the Department of Athletics is to make of the D edication game an event that will prove epochal in the history of intercollegiate football at this institution. This game will be played either October 2 9, against
B. Y. U. , or November 5 against Colorado Aggies. Definite announcement of the Dedication game will be made soon. As already indicated the stadium will find man y uses other than those which may be classed as strictly athletic. Students, faculty members and patrons of the school even now are suggesting p rograms which could be staged in the stadium with success. As experience brings to light the full possibilities of the place as a recreational center, it is safe to predict that within the pleasing confines of the stadium will be held some of the most splendid outdoor performances ever seen in this region. What this shall mean to the Utah Agricultural College can only be surmised. The future is still dim in the light of our present elation. But none who sees this stadium and catches the inspiration it imports can feel and believe other than that herein lies the assurance of permanency, which is the forerunner of still greater and finer things for the College.

Ster! Anderson , former track and football star, and Harvey Kirk , ' 25 , football, track and basketball phenom , will coach the Frosh football team this year.
Alumni had subscribed to the Library Fund. Their average subscription was S7 5.
Hettie White, '15, in sending in her subscription of S 100 to the Library Fund, says: " Here is my subscription to the Library Fund, and if the will could be the deed it would be many times doubled."
When you visit the Campus, look for your Alumni Association headquarters in. a new and better location. Room 121, Main Building. just across from Student Life office, is the new office. It is superior to the old in several particulars, being more centrally located, brighter, more cheerful. and better ventilated. True, more adequate furnishings are needed , but these should come in time. If you have a pennant, a rug, a souvenir, a picture, a rocker-don ' t be bashful. send 'em along.
The Manual of Alumni Work , in discussing the V<\lue to colleges of endowment campaigns, says, "These campaigns have organized the alumni as they have never been organized before, and aside from getting the money , the next most important thing is .the organization of the alumni. "The campaigns have brought the alumni closer to the college than ever before. They are based on loyalty to the college and they are bringing the alumni much closer to th eir alma mater. Out of all this work is going to come a much closer and more active association between the alumni and their universities. " The average subscription of the alumni in endowment campaigns conducted by sixty-four colleges and universities since 1918 was $288.54. Up to September 15 , 13 percent

DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC STRENGTHENED FOR YEAR. The department of music at the College has bee n strengthened for the coming year. Professor B . Cecil Gates has been appointed h ead of the depar tment. Professor Walter Welti will also be back again and it is also probable that new additions will be made to the music faculty before the opening of the Fall Quarter. A number of professional teachers of various in struments are associated with the College so that students can take private lessons at a nominal fee and secure credit for these courses.
