The two male students, marching in Bell Field, are wearing "rook lids" and sandwich boards reading: "This stadium unfair to students, alumni, visiting teams, fans and prospective athletes. Your contribution will help build the new stadium. Ask me for a pledge card." Construction on Parker Stadium was completed in 1953.
