According to the 'sponsors of this' conference the current theory is that "the only good trustee is the blind trustee."

P.)-Capt. Lowell H. Smith, American premier forestry patrol flyer, and his noted wingmate, Lieut. John B. Rich- ter, took off from Rockwell field, at 4: 43:43 2-5 this morning in a De Hay- land plane in which they hope to re- main aloft for four days and four; nights and to break or establish 12 aerial records, among them being the endurance record, which they hope to attain by refueling in mid-air. The plane is equipped with a 400 horespower Liberty motor. Aviators say that if Captain Smith and Lieuten- ant Rchter are successful it means that a fast airplane of limited =fuel capacity can take off at New York and, by refueling in mid-air reach the Paci- fic coast in less than 18 hours. Should Smit~h and, Richter remain aloft 60 hours, they probably-will have traveled 2,00 Omiles farther than did Lieutenants Kelley and MacReady in their non-stop transcontinental flight, or nearly three-fourth the distance from San Diego to Hongkong. The records sought are those for distance, for duration and for speed over 2;000, 3,000, 3,500 and 4,000 kilo- meters. No airmen has been on the wing long enough to establish a speed record for 4,500 kilometers for no airplane has sufficient gasoline capac- ity to carry it such a distance. Smith and Richter flew over a 50- kilometer triangular airway. The big thrill is expected when Lieutenants Haines and Silfert make their first cofitact with Smith and Richter's planeI to supply gasoline. Two minutes only will the two racing planes be required to be within 40 feet of each other, but these two minutes will be fraught with the greatest danger. EXPLAINING "FLUNKS" Another school year has ended. Once more a long list of failures graces the records of the office. There is no doubt that many an undergrad-' uate is sorely handicapped by his lack. of systematic application. It is tak- en for granted that he knows how best to use his time, how best to take notes, to read, and to review. As he frequently knows none of these things, he wastes much time and ef- fort, and the result in many cases is failure as the records at the close of any semester will show. A 'step in the right direction would be a course in "How to Study" which would be made compulsory for all freshmen. It is true that no defin- ite system could be prescribed which will meet the needs of every type of student. Still any student will profit by instruction in such elementary things as the merits 'of a loose leaf or card system for lecture notes, the advantages of classifying notes from assigned readings, making outlines for review, the use of diagrams, and the general distribution of time. No mere teaching how to study will enable the dullards to get through but it ought to go a long way in dim- inishing the number of E's and D's that students try to "explain away" at home every February and June. Almost everything that the young- sters of yesterday learned was at the knees of their mothers' ',occasionaly over the laps of their fathers. Today they don't learn much at either of these traditional localities. Mother's feet are never still and father never sits down. Henry Ford's latest venture is rap- idly taking shape in the form of a distillery. No, he isn't going to do any 'illegal operating for the product which he is putting out is merely ben- zol, derived from the distillation of coal. l The many special events which are conducted in connection with the sum- mer session are worth attending and the interesting nature of the summer will be greatly enhanced if you bene- fit by these opportunities. If a few of the exchange professors would learn to curb their eloquence at the conclusion of the hour, some students would be saved the embar- assment of continually coming to ment is the only condition upon which they will be allowed to remain in col lege. Fifteen students out of the ap proximate total of 5,00 in the literar: college had their hours credit for the semester reduced'because of exces sivo absence, of these,: three being de prived of twohours of credit and 1 of one hour. Eighty-five students who were on the warned list last year have been notified that their warning has been raised and their names are no longer on the warned list, while "169 have been taken off probation. This record ac- cording to Registrar Arthur G. Hal i very encouraging. Decisions on the records of 9 members of the college have been deferred until fall. Five have been notified that they must ap- pear before the dean 'to give reasons 'why they should be allowed to remain in college. Conditions Not Alarming These deficiencies, according to Reg- istrar Hall are not alarming, in com- parison with the. figures of other years. The enrollment of the, literary college is about 5,000, making the "home list" about 4 per cent of the student body of tha tcollege.

During his career at Michigan, Knode was considered one of the most reliable first basemen in Conference baseball and was one of the leading batters of the Big Ten un- til the time when he was declared in- elegible for further competition in the middle of the 1923 season. Knode has been in demand. among the big league clubs since the open- ing of the season this year and has received numerous offers to sign con- tracts.

IUll!.'A East Lansing, June 27-(By A.P.) -Athletic authorities of the Michigan; Agricultural college already are lay- ing plans for the better athletic con- ditions they hope to inaugurate with the completion of the stadium now under construction here. Their first effort will be to build up a series of home and home games in football with some of the schools of the Big Ten, as well as with natural rivals in the surrounding states. They hope that with the new conditions it may be possible for the University of Michi- gan to occasionally present its foot- ball team in East Lansing. It last -aoppeared here in 1914. With the 1923 schedule completed, attention is being turned to the 1924 schedule as the time in which the new relations can be initiated, and every effort will be made to build up one of the strongest home schedules in years. This fall, the local team will be largely a road team, showing on the campus here but three times. While the trips of the team are not extensive, the longest being about 300 miles, only that against the Univer- sity of Michigan at Ann Arbor is like- ly to find a large number of M. A. C. supporters in the stands cheering I The present material expansion of the University of Michigan is not the dominating influence of th eschool, President Burton declared in a recent report to the Board of Regents. Ma- terial expansion has been taken as a challenge to intellectual .achieve- ments, he said. "A 'period of 'physical expansion such as that through which the University now is passing," President Burton said, "is liable to create the impression that. the institution is chiefly, if not solely, interested in ma- terial things, that the administration is concerned primarily with the things of sense, and that the finer things of culture and science are buried under piles of brick, steel and cement. A casual look at the campus for some might confirm this impression. A thoughtful reader of this report might naturally begin to fear that the Uni- versity of Michigan had forgotten its real mission as an institution of higher learning and, fallen a victim to the disease of megalomania and the malady of materialism. That these first impressions are quite un- founded I believe can be affirmed with confidence. Anyone who takes occasion to acquaint himself with the facts which are not so outwardly in- sistent as buildings and lands will find that the spirit and life of the University is moving at full tide.
