Armory
Bids Due
Tuesday
Building To Cost
. Nearly $30,000
Bids on the proposed ROTC
Armory to be constructed on Ag
College campus will be called in
Tuesday, Charles Fowler, direc
tor of buildings and grounds, has
announced.
It will be erected adjacent to
and directly east of the new
General John J. Pershing Arm
ory. The building will house of
ficers, instructors, and equip
ment for artillery units which
train on the campus, along with
equipment from the navy and
air science departments.
THE LARGE part of the
structure is 50 by 60 feet and
will be used to store equipment
and for indoor classes. The
smaller portion contains about
1,300 feet of office and supply
space.
"We hope that construction
can be started immediately, and
that the building will be com
pleted by July 1," Fowler said.
This would permit an early start
on the remodeling of the present
motor truck laboratory which is
to house the poultry husbandry
department, he said.
Estimated cost of the Armory
is $30,000.

enrollment opportunity under
the Korean GI Bill for thou

months away, applies to Korean
veterans discharged from ser
vice before August 20, 1952. To

THE DEADLINE, however,

summer session, the school term
starting early in 1954 will offer
many veterans their last oppor
tunity to get schooling under
the Korean GI Bill.
Veterans who left service after
August 20, 1952 have two years

Bricker Compromise
By GOP May Collapse
Acceptable Language Sought
By WILLIE DESCH
Staff Writer
Efforts by Republicans to com
promise the Bricker amendment
may collapse Republican one
house legislature favorable to
state leaders Molotov may have
spoken his last words on the unification-,
of Germany; however,
Western World leaders still have
hopes.
Although still trying to com
promise the Bricker constitution
al amendment in order to make
it acceptable to President Eisen
hower and Sen. Bricker, Repub
lican efforts may collapse in a
legal welter of worlds. Bricker's
proposal would limit the scope
of treaties and provide for con
gressional regulation of other in
ternational agreements.
Senators Knowland of Califor
nia, Ferguson of Michigan and
Millikin of Colorado will continue
the search for language that
would make the proposal accept
able. Unicameral
Petitions aimed at a State con
stitutional change which would
make members of the Legisla
ture partisan instead of non-po
litical and thus increase the num
ber of members, were endorsed
by the Republican State Central
Committee Monday. This does
not mean that the unicameral
body of government will be dis
banded. At the present time, the 43
members of the unicameral leg
islature are elected on a non
partisan basis.
Other business which was de
cided was that the party's pre
primary convention will be held
in Fremont May 24. Four hun
dred delegates will be present
at the convention and the ap
portionment among counties will
be Ve same as in recent years.

Strangely enough, this popular
United States holiday, sometimes
called Woodfchuck day, comes
from Candlemas Day, an old
English Holiday celebrated on
February 2.
CANDLEMAS DAY is a festi
val commemorating the Purifica
tion of the Virgin Mary and the
Presentation of Christ in the
Temple. Candles for the altar or
other sacred uses are blessed on
that day.

this characterization of a frus

appeared in 26 motion pictures
