Must Pare 'Industries' Building Cost
The difference in the two amounts is believed to be explained by recent jumps in building costs as a result of defense measures.
Construction bids for the long-awaited Mineral Industries building submitted yesterday were found to exceed the appropriated sum by $82,-000.
Separate bids submitted for the work on plumbing, heating, and wiring totaled $401,133, while the total money provided for the new structure is $325,000. Some of the latter amount has already been spent. Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the Chancellor, pointed out, for architectural charges,

At meetings of National Anateur Athletic Union officials in the East last week Coach Hargiss heard John Kelly, army physical fitness program leader, declare in a speech at Philadelphia that 50 per cent of the draftees have been rejected because of poor physical condition. Hargiss, as president of the Missouri Valley A.A.U., was this section's delegate.
Gene Tunney, the navy's physical fitness head, concurred with Kelly's statements as he spoke before the coaches in New York. Both men agreed that American youth is unfit physically owing to lack of physical activity, exercise, and labor.
Leading the drive at the University in the national physical fitness effort, Hargiss said, "track is the best exercise known. Here under the west stadium we have equipment and facilities to accommodate 200 men, on our indoor track and I will glady give my time to the project."

George Starts New Career Ex-Cop Guards Museum
"It's a great institution, but I'd rather be on my feet," is George Snyder's current feeling about Dyche museum. As the new guardian over the offices of the museum, George, ex-campus cop par-excellence, is in a position to sit back and ruminate not about arms and the man, but man and the automobile.

A law and order man for forty years, George has spent the last eleven of them pacing pontifically up and down Oread avenue, handing out little red⁽²⁾
Jalopies, he tolerated, saying that they act as a convenient bottle-neck for campus speeders and should be looked upon as a University institution.
Faculty Violate Too
Concerning faculty members and the machine age, George revealed
that 75 per cent of the University faculty has violated campus parking regulations. A favorite faculty trick, he added, was for a Hill professor to walk home, and then remember that he had left his car parked on the Hill.
