"U.S. Army and Navy representatives inspected Berkeley's sanitary landfill on Oct. 28, 1925, and said that it had very good possibilities for an airport landing field. Also along on the site visit, Berkeley city's manager intimated that he might urge that the city purchase four more acres, which will allow for a four-way landing field."
"Etchings: The Oct. 28, 1925, Berkeley Daily Gazette announced an exhibit of etchings by Gene Kloss, known in the East Bay cities where she has always lived as Alice Glazier at the Gumps department store in San Francisco the next month. There will be about 40 etchings in the exhibit, the subjects being around the bay district and in New Mexico. Kloss (her married name) had graduated from UC Berkeley in 1924 and was becoming known as a talented etcher."
"Stadium seats: California Memorial Stadium was barely two years old in fall 1925, but the Associated Students group at Cal which ran intercollegiate athletic programs in that era was already starting to talk about adding seats. Though both institutions had huge new stadiums, applications for 1925 Big Game tickets against Stanford exceeded supply by 29,000. Architects thought adding an extra 8,000 to 10,000 bleacher seat"
U.S. Army and Navy representatives inspected Berkeley's sanitary landfill on Oct. 28, 1925, and found it promising for an airport landing field. Berkeley's city manager considered urging purchase of four additional acres to permit a four-way landing field. A military officer predicted landing fields would become nearly as important as railroad stations to progressive cities. An exhibit of about 40 etchings by Gene Kloss featuring Bay Area and New Mexico subjects was announced for Gumps in San Francisco; Kloss graduated from UC Berkeley in 1924. California Memorial Stadium faced a 29,000-ticket shortfall for the 1925 Big Game, prompting plans to add thousands of bleacher seats.
