CAMPUS OPINION
Editor, The Michigan Daily:
I was somewhat surprised when I
noticed in the columns of The Daily
that the "Wonder Track Team" would
not have a representation at the Penn
relays on April 28 and 29. It is true
that thel date conflicts with the date
of the Drake relays at Des Moines
but nevertheless I believe Michigan I
should have at least one man en-
tered in some event in the big East-
ern meet. It has been the custom. in
past years to send one or two stars
to Philadelphia. Considering the fact
that at neither meet will points Be
awarded, the splitting of the squad
would have no effect, or at the irosi
very little, on the outcome.
If I understand the situwation cor-
rectly, the main, objeetion to the
Eastern trip is that Eastern teams do
j not consent to home and home
schedules. They refuse to colie
West, at least last year they sent few
men to the National. Intercollegiates
at Chicago. This independence on the
part of the West is partly justifiable
but: "If the mountain will not come
to Mohammed, etc." Michigan should
not lose sight of the fact that the
best, surest quick-fire exponents she -
has are her athletic teams.

entire book a misrepresentation would
indeed be wrong,.for there is no incl-
dent pictured which is non-occurring
or even infrequent. The story as a
whole, however, is nothing short of a
gross injustice to whatever school it'
is intended to portray. Utterly ignor-l
ing the better things which would in-
fluence anyone toward praise of cam- I
pus society, it only presents the unde-
sirable events which arouse condem-
nation.
Possibly the writers" in putting to.-
gether their episodes did not intend
to have the book taken as an accurate
description of campus conditions, in
fact it is almost impossible to believe
that they could have had such an idea
in mind. Nevertheless, many youths, I
and many parents as well, will mis-
construe the real purpose which mo-
tivated the composition of the book.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
A SOUNJ) P ILSOPIIXI
(Daily Iowan)
As an effectual antidote to the lit-
erature of despair which now floods
the literary markets of the world one
needs only to look to the writings of
Robert Louis Stevenson. in the,
works or this author one finds a
philosophy which is idealistic and a
the same time practical. Stevenson
accepts life as he finds it. He does
not make excuses for the frivolities
and foibles which he finds in his fel-
lowmen. He merely sees them in the
light of struggles which add zest to
life end act as' the foundations for
higher attainents..
And when he utters such unorthoaox'
statements as: "For God's sake, give
me a man with brains enough to'
make a fool of himself." 'even the most
obdurate must surely experience
some of the thrills so eagerly sought
in literature of today. Stevenson had
more than his share of common
sense. His sense of values is by far
n'ore sound than that of most writ-
ers since his time.
By some his views may be charged
with containing too much of self sat-
isfaction and of disregard for thosej
who "toil upward through the night",.
yet he is convincing even if he is
wrong. His whole philosophy of life
is summed up i- the following words
from one of his essays:
"We sail in leaky botttoms and on
great and perilous waters. Old an4t
young, we are all on our last cruise. f
If there is a fill of tobacco among
the crew, pass it around, and let us
have a pipe before we go!"

- It is an accepted fact that the new-
er countries are the more progres-
sive, and the newer. countries are the
western ones. This fact has been so
universally true through the' past that
progress has been linked up with
what we call, the spirit of the West.
