Kansan Comment
Mute Dissension Impotent
Bills now under consideration in the M.S. C. and W.S.G.A. concerning smoking in University buildings are of vital interest to the student body.
Campus opinions on the proposed legislation will influence the action taken. Whether you smoke or not, whether you have an ax to grind or not, why not express your opinion through the Campus Opinion column?
Smoke Screen May Lift
Under consideration by student governing bodies is a proposal which would ban smoking in University buildings.
First and foremost among reasons advanced for the proposed anti-fag rule is the fire hazard existing in the present situation. Secondly is offered the possible bad effect on public relations when Campus visitors see cigarette littered buildings. A third objective of the proposed ban is to place the University on an equal basis with other state schools where smoking is not permitted.
Examination of the first reason in the light of cold logic makes it appear valid. Few will deny that smoking in Campus buildings, particularly in the older structures, constitutes a fire hazard. Replacing a building would not only be a costly undertaking, but would mean also an actual loss in class and school time. Additionally, every building on the Campus contains supplies, equipment, and records that are irreplaceable.
The second and third reasons offered to line up sentiment behind the bill are principally appeals to student pride and state loyalty. Both of these, admittedly, must be enlisted if the proposed bill is to be enforced in the event it passes the governing bodies.
But the crux of the proposal, the main point which is particularly apropos is concerned with the fire hazard presented. In this case, practical considerations should supersede personal inclinations.
In America, there is peace on the southern front in the 'dark and bloody' ground of Harlan, Kentucky, as strife in the coal mines ceases. Industrial peace and the end of the former medieval system of labor brightens the news. American labor would be in a commanding position if Green and Lewis could sign a truce and quit their legal bickering and useless personal dissension.
Halliburton:
American Ulysses
Richard Halliburton, American adventurer and author, is legally dead. A jury verdict states that Haliburton sank in a Chinese junk during a typhoon while sailing from Hong Kong to San Francisco.
Adjectives heap up when describing Halliburton for he was truly a unique and unusual man. His was a daring sort of curiosity—a small boy's dreams of adventure carried to the realms of realism by the man.
While most men merely dream of performing miracles, Halliburton's unnatural supply of venture drove him to action, not to suppressed desire. Moderns seem to thrive on inhibitions, fear restraining the imagination and materialism puncturing most day-dreams. Not so with Mr. Halliburton. He delved into Greek and Roman mythology and tried constantly to emulate the ancients. In 1925, he swam the Hellespont not in a spirit of youthful impetus; but in the spirit of scientific curiosity and adventure.
True, Halliburton capitalized on his wandering with a series of books with alliterative titles and a profitable lecture tour. But still who can help envisage a man who imitated the travels of Ulysses, Hamnibal, and died doing exactly what he wanted to do?
Are Soviets Communists?
A University economics instructor has observed after a three month stay in Europe that Russia, avowedly communistic, possesses a nationalism far more extensive than that of Germany. With nationalism must go a certain degree of imperialism, and current happenings serve to illustrate that Russia possesses that imperialism.
Those who still insist that Russia is governed according to communist doctrine are finding the current actions of the U.S.S.R. a little difficult to explain. They go out of their way to assure us that Russia is exerting a pressure which will bring about peace, and that all of her
actions are strictly in accordance with the best of communist doctrine. In talking with and observing citizens of Esthonia, virtually taken by Russia, the economist found that the people of the tiny nation would be far better off under their own semi-dictatorship than under the rule of Stalin. Certainly Esthonians are not egee to board the Soviet bandwagon.
Those suspicious of the "democracy" in Stalin's "communism" should rejoice at Russia's latest action, for it shows the Soviet state in its true colors. Those who still hope that democratic communism—it is quite possible—exists today in Russia should note that Stalin and Lenin are two quite different persons with equally different ideas.
The philosophy of Lenin no longer is of any importance in Russia except as it is used to build up nationalistic spirit. Russia is an imperialial state. Russia directs its actions for the benefit of Russia and for no one else. Today all nations recognized as important in world affairs are imperialial, all nations are working for their own benefits. Wars are not fought for altruistic reasons.

To The Editor
Smoking Restrictions
If our student council has no better way to spend its time than on auth nomesites as the smoking ban, then we can have a "no smoking" sign.
With regard to this most recent "masterpiece," this most recent stroke of genius, it seems certain that, in the event there are certain legal aspects to this most momentous problem which would prohibit smoking in the University buildings, these would have been noted long before now and enforced by the Board of Resents.
I, however, the Supt. of Bldgs, and Grounds feels that certain restrictions as to eliminate fire hazards are necessary. We need to impose strictions with regard to specific locations and not, figuratively speaking, cutting off one's head because of

Approve Air Training In Two Women's Schools
Lake Erie is one of two women's colleges listed among 300 institutions throughout the country which have been approved for participation in the program. Mills College in California is the second.
Fairnessville, (UP)—Twenty college girls at Lake Erie College—exclusively for women—are learning to recognize mathematics Authority's training program.
"We think this is a great idea," said pretty Jean Fulton, of Pittsburgh, donning a helmet "Not only do we get free flying time, but we even get college credit—under the name of physics, which always was an unpleasant course anyway!"
When 29 girls first formed a club in 1835 and asked the school for an aviation course, the college quickly acquiesced and established a course as a physical education department elective along with such staid courses as tennis, hockey and volley ball.
Aviation is not a new course at Lake Erie College. The girls have been going to ground school lectures since 1833 and have been affiliated with the National Intercollegiate Flying Club since 1936.
A number of girls other than the selected 20 would like to fly, but the CA.A. has limited the number to whom it will give financial aid.
Flying Spirit Not New
ON THE OFF B-E-A-T
This week is Fire Prevention Week, which however, probably does not much explain the rain Sunday and Monday and the introduction of the bills to ban student smoking before the two Councils.

A day's brooding has convinced us that: (1) the I.S.A. needs a constitution; (2) the P.S.G.L. needs someone who understands parliamentary tauties at least as well as some Piscachamaes; (3) the students do NOT need higher prices at the picture shows in town; (4) and the M.S.C. still needs a definite proposal to register campaign expense

Dewey Eldred, following the formation of the club, was hired as instructor. Eldred taught an average of 60 girls each year, giving them a special work at the college and flying at his airport it nearby Woolgillhy.
"In the past the training has been hampered by lack of funds," said Mrs. Ruth Bartliett, physical education instructor in charge of the course. "The school had paid for the ground course, but the students in the past had to pay for their own flying. Now the government will pay for the full course, which requires 72 hours' groundwork and a minimum of 35 hours' flight instruction."
Fhoebe Ann Ford, of La Grange
Ill, said she didn't think the girls
were interested in flying for the
"thrill."

"We girls learn to fly because it seems necessary to be modern," she said. "Our parents don't object—our price they previously had to pay."
