Jakosky
Dean J. J. Jakosky, chairman of the University building committee, is in Topeka today conferring with Roy Stookey, state architect, and other authorities concerning the new Mineral Industries building.
Contracts for the construction of the building, totaling $318,000 were announced yesterday by Stokey. The state legislature had appropriated $325,000 for the structure earlier this year.
In order to bring the building's cost within the appropriation limits, two proposed wings were dropped from the plans. This reduction from the original estimate was caused by rising costs of building materials, Stookey said.
Construction will begin immediately. Preliminary work at the site of the structure has already begun. NYA and student laborers have been excavating for the foundation and laying some cement during the past few weeks.
Work on the building was slowed yesterday and today by the weather.

The University student drive for the sale of Christmas seals is now on and will continue until the Christmas holidays.

Spanish Isolate Americans Fleeing Europe
1318 W. 7th
Vichy—(UP)—Americans in Europe attempting to reach Lisbon to embark on the last American ship today were isolated by action of the Spanish government in closing the Franco-Spanish frontier.
American diplomatic authorities here anticipated a rush of more than 500 Americans across Europe toward the last embarkation ports.
Although the order was not specifically directed against Americans, hundreds of them were halted today at Perpignan and Hendaye on the border.
The embassy also was trying to clear up reports that some unpleasantness occurred at the frontier yesterday, involving the refusal of Spanish authorities to recognize Spanish visas which had been given regularly by the Spanish consulate in France.
There still were many Americans who have been expatriated for many years, living in retirement in Europe, and they risk arrest or interment in concentration camps as did Britons here when the German army occupied France.
The status of Americans in Free France was unchanged by the declarations of war and they were not subjected to police measures.
