OIN OXYIS. i Ln Arbor, ding, May. li. 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.

V a goer 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!" w7 PIRIT M'F pl(IIIIIESSr (Purdue Exponent) - 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. Safety,, Comfort For Service, Drivers i i .: -s i i L k i i i .
