Statue Sports New Suit Green Wears Red
It's getting to be a habit!
Uncle Jimmy Green had a new spring suit again for a few hours this morning until the building and ground workers started restoring his clothes to the usual metallic color.
Wearers of the green were greeted this morning by the statue on which had been painted pastel green trousers and a brilliant red coat during the $ \textcircled{4} $
Wearers of the green were statue on which had been paint brilliant red coat during the night. The loyal statue viewing the campus from the front of Green hall was "fairly dripping" with the newness of the spring attire.
Since the act of sabotage took place on St. Patrick's day some of the disturbed students of the School of Law have been led to believe that the old feud between them and the engineers is still under way.
Evidence pointing in this direction reveals that St. Patrick is the patron of many of the Schools of Engineering throughout the country and is given a warm spot in engineer's hearts.
M.S.C. Talks Defense

Silence reigns at Marvin hall, however, and as loyal as the statue of Uncle Jimmy is to the "Green boys," he just won't tell them who did the paint job.
Fitness Class
The War-Defense committee of the M.S.C. is sponsoring a calisthenics class which will start next Monday and continue eight weeks until May 3.
The class will meet in Robinson gymnasium until the weather is warmer and then will meet outside on one of the playing fields.
The class will be instructed by Dr. Forrest C. Allen and his staff. Doctor Allen says, "I think this is a great thing. We will work them hard, but everyone will have fun while working."
Enrollment started yesterday and will continue until Friday. Those who wish to enroll may do so by contacting the Ku Ku's, Jay Janes, the registrar's office or the athletic office.
Classes will meet twice a week at 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday. More than 30 campus leaders, including members of the Men's Student Council and the W.S.G.A. Council and house presidents have enrolled in the class. The class will be strictly callisthenic.
Orville Wright, chairman of the Way-Defense committee of the M.S.C. says, "this is, in a sense, an experiment to determine whether or not the midwestern college student is concerned enough with this war to discipline himself. It is undoubtedly true that unless this class succeeds, compulsory physical training will be inducted on this campus. Demands are now being made for that compulsory training in influential circles. The students by enrolling in this course can make it successful."
Towel fee will be the regular seventy-five cents which entitles the student to 18 towels. The class will meet 17 times in the eight week's period. The student is expected to furnish his own gym equipment.

Three-Term Activities
The M.S.C. War-Defense committee meeting, at which presidents of all university houses and activities were requested to be present, was held in the Memorial Union ballroom at 4:30 p.m. Monday.
The meeting was called to discuss war and defense activities on the campus. The three-term basis for Hill activities and organizations is being planned by the Men's Student Council. There is a possibility of organized houses remaining open for the summer. The defense committee is asking all houses to poll their members to discover how many would like to keep the houses open during summer school.
Also discussed was the plan to collect current issues of magazines from organized houses to send to army camp libraries. The magazines will be turned in at the Union building by a representative from each house and a record will be kept at the check stand.
The new service flags were displayed at the meeting and members of the men's houses were told how to obtain the flags for their houses.
Near the close of the meeting, those present were reminded to buy defense bonds, turn in books for the Victory book campaign, and to write letters to the men in the service.
Some of those present at the meeting were enrolled in the new calisthenics class which is to start next Monday.
