Remainder of Structure Will Be
Erected as Funds Are
Available
The site for the proposed new stadium for the University of Kentucky
has been definitely located at the corner of Rose and Winslow streets.
Three locations were favored for the
plant one of them being the one selected, another being on the University of Kentucky Experiment Station
Farm and the third .being near the
new basketball building.
The site desired by the Athletic
Council and the alumni committee to
the exclusion of the other two was
the Winslow street location near the
basketball building. Placing the stadium in this place would, they contend,
eliminate an unsightly portion of the
campus and place all the (buildings belonging to the Athletic Department of
the University within close proximity
of each other.
At the meeting of those in charge of
the building of the stadium it was
brought out that the desired site would
not 'be practicable at this time because
of tlu fact that the City of Lexington
would have to run a large storm sewer

Last week collection notices
were mailed to all the students,
who subscribed to the Greater
Kentucky Fund, in regard to the
April payment.
Until now
there has been very little response to the notices. There is
need for all the funds as they fall
due and the Alumni Office earnestly desires to receive a call
from each of you this week at
the earliest convenience. The
final site for the stadium has
been selected and work will begin before long, so let's get all
the money in as it falls due so
nothing will hold up the work.

vacation begins April 17, and
many students who have class
