AN EARLY CLOSING HOUR The Union building, which was built with funds raised by subscriptions from the students of the University, closes its doors at 4 9 o'clock. Supposedly, the building was to serve the students as a bounging room, a place where they might go to read, play cards, or simply to rest. During the daylight hours, the Union building is open for such purposes, but when evening comes and the students have spare time to take advantage of such an opportunity the building is closed at the early hour of nine. WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1929 It may be argued that not enough persons use the hanging room to warrant keeping it open. In that case, the need for such a building on the bill was not as great as has been recently supposed. If this is the reason for the early closing hour, then the building should—without further question—at least be left open until the hour for the closing of organized houses arrives. The persons who wish to use the building before the official closing hour of the University should be given the opportunity of doing so. As only three more weeks of school remain of the present year, very little can be done about the matter until next fall. The shortness of the remaining time makes it inavailable to take steps toward a later closing hour this year. But the matter should be taken under consideration and a claune made by the opening of the fall semester. THE HOOVER COMMISSION George W. Wickersham, attorney general in the Taft administration, has been selected by President Hoover as chairman of the national law enforcement commission and will have associated with him nine other lawyers, and one woman, representing all of the major geographical divisions of the country. The list of members includes Newton D. Baker, secretary of war in the Wilson administration, and chairman of the national crime commission. It is significant that in naming the members of the commission, Hoover did not name a recognized leader either of the wet or dry issues. The work which has been planned, a preliminary program for which will be made out soon, is expected to last upwards of two years. The naming of this commission is a step toward carrying out what Hower believes is the important task confronting his administration. It is true that the citizens of the United States are looking forward to the report that the committee will have to make after the investigation has been accomplished. This final decision of the commission will probably be the deciding influence on the national attitude towards prohibition. And with a decision of such momentous importance to the welfare of the nation resting upon them, the commission should work carefully, accurately, and fairly. They must realize the importance of living up to the trust which has been placed in them, refusing to be prejudiced by personal opinions and endeavoring to tick only to facts. THE CUTS ARE HEALING "It will always owe a debt of gratitude to the French navy for landing here safely," Dr. Hugo Eckemer, commander of the Graf Zeppelin, said the other day at Toonon after his big machine had been brought safely to the ground, though cripped, in one of a driving gale. Which is another step in the direction of more friendly relations between the nations of the world that only several years ago were shedding the life blood of each other on the most terrible battlefield the world has ever known. Doctor Eckener's statement will please the French, it will please the Germans, and it will please the rest of the world. The airplane and the other types of aircraft are doing more than their share to bring the nations of the world together. There was Doctor Eckener's flight to America and through the Mediterranean countries, Lindbergh's famous solo flight to Paris and down into Mexico, and the many other trans-oceanic and international flights of other aviators. All of them will serve a purpose more quickly and surely than all the diplomatic offices in the world. FANNED FLAMES Rain clouds darkened overhead, Fans at the Yankee Stadium roo from their seats and scurried for cover. In the hasty exit, two persons were killed and half a score injured. Immediately the cry of the public is raised that improper exits caused the catastrophe. But was it so? And even if the exits had been locked altogether, should a cloud in the sky and a flurry of rain take a death toll? No doubt the flock of stumped hall fans who took part in the tragic episode that Sunday now look shamefully at the death dealing incident. Yet the toll stands! Had a fire broken out or a bleacher broken down, the hasty exit and its consequences would not have been so oblivious to the public at large. It would have been an unavoidable consequence. But—a rain, that is different from danger of life. Nothing can be more fickle, more heartless, more irresponsible than a crowd of people—the people who always refuse to bear the burden of the blame. SPORTSMANSHIP Once more the value of sports comes to our attention. When any man shows the sportsmanship that was shown by Herman Phillips of the Illinois A, C., when he sacrificed his chances of winning the final in the Olympic 400-meter by setting a winning pace for Barbari, he should be given the same awards that the winner received. It takes a man of great quality to do a thing like this. When a person offers himself in sacrifice as this young man did, it portrays the real and true sportsmanship. Any sport that instills such principles in a man is truly a great teacher. And likewise, any man who shows the traits of such principles is the ideal foreverer of sportsman-bin. Here is a wonderful record of American co-operation in the liquidation of the war and the establishment of permanent peace. It omits immense ammunerable diplomatic, economic, financial, philanthropic and social activities in Geneva, central Paris and beyond when men began to doubt whether disarmament was sincerely desired it was Hugh S. Gibson who made that determination and commission and provided the new hope that, after all, an understanding would eventually be reached—an idea that Mr. Gibson did not satisfy idealists, nevertheless would be a stage on the march toward the ideal. Critics may find fault with his overt naval tomage, but they were made with a practical purpose and offered a way of escape from dili- Today's Best Editorial --of oil engines to power plants andizable construction machinery, who have even seen the use of self-propelled trucks, the Packard engine consuming the sort of oil that is burned in farms and driving a truck. The engine in this country comes as noontime. These simple facts which stand out so clearly should be noted, not with emphasis but with appreciation and resolve to carry out the great mission which devolves Christian Science Monitor Indiana Boom Town Booms Again as Aladdin's 'Gas' Lamp Shows Way Washington—America's first Diesel or oil-fueld airplane engine which flew from Detroit to Langlefield for its first public inspection by leading aeronautical experts may be the first of a new breed of aeronautical power plants that may drive the gasoline-carburator sort of engine out of the sky. For several years the Packard engineers under the direction of Castle, M. Wilson have been developing the new engine that has just been allowed to perform in public. The ordinary person would not give it a second place so conventional does it seem in outward appearance. But to the engineer who has seen Diesel engines capture the promise of sea-going ships from turbine turbines, who has watched the applicability Our Contemporaries COLLEGE College life may be likened to an ocean and the students to ships. Some drift aimlessly about, driven by every wave, wave, wave of the sea, or perhaps ports. A man begins his life in college with utmost promise, and looks back upon his course some day and asks why he accomplished so few steps. He is not a stable, he lacked purpose, persistence, steadiness and single-mindedness. He was not the captain of his own bark. "And why? On the other hand he knew what things he could do." He knew his course and held his ruder true. The one ship showed how the breeze of the day was blowing; the other showed by its course. The other steered. One was blown by the other steered. Butler Collegian These are times that call for broad-mindedness. It is so easy to become narrow-minded. And we believe that it is more easy for the student to learn about a subject than to meet any other person, for the student easily becomes the specialist, the specialist the pendant, the pendant the shrunker, truncated, hopeless in some sense, and the larger significance even of the subject with which he deals. As Others See It The scholar, therefore, even for the sake of his scholarship, must understand that people know many aspects of life, if he would interpret one aspect of life, "Touch elbows," some give up, others look inward and rank and file." There be no better counsel for the scholar. He must know some experiences world which lives on the other side of life. He must be able to reflect with touch that strange and picture-esque world which lives on the other side of life. He must be able to reflect with touch that strange and picture-esque men of life. ARE WE LEARNING TO LOAF? LEARNING TO LOOK It is really surprising, I believe, by the order in the schools that the amount of home work is to be restricted. Except for a number of teachers who work teaches discipline, practically everybody seems to be in favor of it. The fact suggests that the school undergone a overal change recently. Twenty years ago, if such an order had been issued, it might have been supported on grounds of expediency; but that is not the case. Work is very difficult for many children because of the cramped conditions of their homes. But when a child is admitted as something desirable in itself. In that remote day people felt that work, and work was essential to their lives. Attention all the desirable things of life, and they would have brooked no suggestion that it wasn't. Now, how are we to expect them to be happy? Hears is that the order is a pretty good thing anyway; in other words, the approval of it was important. We seem actually to have given up the idea that work is the destiny of man, and that change requires real effort. That any normal man has coming to him, and to be dalyling with the notion that play is not only desirable but extremely innocent and perhaps harmful. Canadian educators complain that American magazines are corrupting the young people of Canada.

Starting a Diesel engine presents more difficulties than for a gasoline engine. Since the first oil system, the underside is accomplished by the heat of compression of the air, a much swifter kick must be given in starting. The Packard engine is not yet revealed, those who saw the Layung Field demonstration are of the opinion that the bringing of a powder cartridge. Once the engine is warmed by running it can be stopped and started in the more convenient way. Christian Science Monitor. The old adage says "Eat, drink and be mergl" In the laboratory of the National Advisory Committee for Aircrafters at Langley field, a Diesel airship engine of six-cylinder design and five conditions. An ordinary airship carburator type gasoline engine was converted to burn oil as a fuel. This conversion will require cylinder oil engines that have been in progress for several years. This development will speed the application of oil engines in airships and power aircrafts. Why not eat and drink at the right place, then you will be HAPPY. The British are developing oil Diesel-type engines for their large airships now building. The Bairdmore engineers in England have developed the oils of oil powered airplane engines. In Germany and France similar work is in More than 3000 Dbliss engines for power and other purposes are now manufactured in the United States. Most of them are heavy in weight and over a hundred horsepower. The primary purpose of these engines is to provide the German engine, physicist, after which it is named.

The Hawk's Nest --to substantize their pantaloons, absolutely, simpleton." Oswald has joined the fun and he is been panning the column here laterly. He says.

Occasionally I do use a simple three cylinder word like "banana" (as in "banana oil.") And here is a multicyclic hoke joke. "Why do combatants embellish their contempt with vermilion suspenders?"

The word "oblaten" is given as a synonym for "support" in my desk dictionary, or overhears, men are more likely to have to wear more than "oblaten" their trousers. And then "contented" and "satisfied" are said to have the same meaning. How about the bird who was satisfied that his wife was going to elapse with another man? Well, these two words are synonymous all over. -Hugh Bently.
