Despite Lack of Snow Washburn Has Ski Team
Washburn college is now one up on the University in sports. It has a one man ski team to represent her in major ski meets over the country.
The Ichabod skier is 19-year-old George Markey of Andover, Mass., whose major objection to Kansas is the lack of adequate facilities for skiing practice.
During the Christmas vacation he carried Washburn's blue and white to sixth place in a meet at Crawford Notch, N.H. His next meet will be in Colorado during the Easter vacation. There are other skiing events he would like to attend, but his school work interferes. His best jump is 190 feet.
Markey, who would rather ski than settle down to a nice tender steak, is a freshman at Washburn and is a Phi Delta Theta fraternity pledge.
He is anxiously looking forward to the close of school in June, when he can get back to familiar surroundings in Massachusetts where
there is good skiing until July 1.

criticism. And he can't talk back be cause there is no speaking tube an the instructor has no headphones.
From the fifth hour to solo, the student constantly hears a particular sentence. It is delivered in a monotone, with mechanical precision.
"Watch your altitude and keep the nose up," the instructor drone.
At about the seventh hour in the air, the student and the instructor take off from the home field, fly some 10 miles away over open country and the novice is introduced to the very sudden and sometimes disastrous possibilities latent in sloppy flying.
These consist of all types of "spins," from all types of maneuvers. These are spins from turns that are executed too steeply and with insufficient power, spins from power stalls and spins from climbing and gliding turns.
The latter type is the most sobering. It is usually caused by "crossed controls" and occurs when a pilot applies pressure on opposite ailerons and rudder. The spin from a gliding turn is said to account for most of the "out-of-control" crashes from low altitude.
When the student has eight hours of dual instruction—no less—and is thoroughly ready for solo, he gets to fly alone.
“Twice around the field and back,” they call it. And it's a lonely jaunt. For days the student has been weary of the instructor's endless chatter. He has been confident he didn't need a tutor in the front seat any longer. But he's missed when you point that little trainer down the runway all by yourself.
But, the training being what it is, the student makes his first trip alone without a hitch—except perhaps a "bounced landing." And the real training starts.
From the non, he flies a little each day by himself. For half of the period he gets additional instruction. Then he goes up alone and practices.
And, what if the student doesn't practice? Well, the instructor finds it out on the next check flight.

The committee has made the following report: an administration building; much more hangar space; a small, but adequate shop; runway improvements; and boundary and field lights all are needed.
The program should cost about $10,000, not including the runways.

This program, the committee said, is necessary to the extension of the school and to the future aviation needs of the city of Lawrence.
PRESENT POLICY
Flynn declared that the present push of Americans toward the defense program was the result of the lethargic condition existing in the capitalistic system. The government is creating purchasing power and increasing the national debt to send aid to England. The present administration, he claims, has taken this means to bring prosperity to the nation.
Spending Is Folly
Tracing the rise and fall of one country after another which had attempted to build prosperity by increasing the national debt to borrow mythical money, Flynn said that the "inevitable end was war and a definite threat to democracy. The United States" mad rush to spend more and more to aid Britain and bring freedom to the whole world is nothing but foolish folly."
Flynn said that he does not believe in complete isolation from England, but he does not think it should be carried to the extreme as it is being done today.
THE SMOKE OF SLOWER-BURNING CAMELS GIVES YOU
EXTRA MILDNESS, EXTRA COOLNESS, EXTRA FLAVOR
"SMOKING OUT" THE FACTS about nicotine. Experts, chemists analyze the smoke of 5 of the largest-selling brands ... find that the smoke of slower-burning Camels contains $28\%$ less nicotine than the average of the other brands tested—less than *any* of them!
AND 28% LESS NICOTINE
--than the average of the 4 other largest-selling brands tested less than any of them according to independent laboratory tests of the smoke itself
YES, the smoke's the thing! After all,
you don't get anything from a cigarette until you've lighted it... until it's burning. And there is the secret of an advantage Camel smokers have enjoyed for years. For Camel's costlier tobaccos are slower-burning.
Slower-burning for more coolness and mildness-for Camels are free from the excess heat and irritating qualities of too-fast burning. Slower-burning for
more flavor because slow burning preserves tobacco flavor and fragrance.
Now Science confirms still another advantage less nicotine in the smoke less than any of the four other largest-selling brands tested .28% less than the average!
Make Camels your steady smoke and enjoy all the advantages that only Camel's slower burning...costlier tobacco can give-even economy (see left).
