And all year you have been complaining because you did not have enough clothes. Now that packing up time is here, you find that your trunk seems suddenly to have shrunk and squeeze as you will the lid will not close or the drawers refuse to be shut. Then you realize just how much old stuff you are carrying with you. You find clothing you have brought to school every year since you were a freshman, but have never worn. European students who are missing classes because they cannot find enough clothing to allow them to appear on the streets are not particular whether this clothing is cut in the latest fashion, or whether it is shabby and worn, so why not get rid of the clothing you never wear? It is very seldom that anyone has a chance to do a good deed, and in so doing benefit himself, but now is just such a chance for the students. Will the students of the University of Kansas be waiting with the old clothes when the Student Relief truck makes its rounds? MIRAGES These phantom realities which our senses sometimes conjure up are called mirages. This has been called an age of disillusionment, and perhaps it is. All that any of us can really trust $^{15}$ the testimony of our own senses, and they have their limitations, of course. But when our senses fall us, when we see things which do not exist instead of the physical realities about us, a crash comes. The two men are back in America now, safe in a land where things are what they seem, and—but, after all, would it be true to say that there are no miracles in America? Major Frederick L. Martin, world flight commander, encountered a series of miracles in his recent flight, and as a result his plane crashed against a mountain. Ten days of wandering followed in which Major Martin and Sergeant Harvey narrowly escaped death several times Pacifism perhaps is a mirage. At least a goodly portion of the American public believes so—but it may be that they are the ones who are seeing something which does not really exist—something which blinds them to reality. Discussion has not so far vindicated either belief. On every side we are hummed in by mirages, more dangerous because more insidious than those which caused Major Martin's crash into the mountain side. It requires keener eyes than any which are now peering into this realm of conflicting visions, to detect the false and steer toward the true. We can only hope that the mirage clear in time to avert the crash. FREEDOM OF SPEECH A resolution commanding the expulsion of any miner who reads any of the literature written by the Ku Klux Klan will be presented at the conclosing meetings of the miner's convention in Williamson County, Illinois. Whether the Ku Klux Klan is an organization which should be fostered in the United States is another question, but the idea of restricting its literature is certainly a wrong method to be used for its undoing. The constitution of the United States gives the citizens the right of liberty and free speech, and to suppress this literature will be entirely contrary to one of the most emphasised parts of the constitution. If the Ku Klux Klan is wrong, those who are pursuing such methods on the other side are wrong also. Each citizen should decide in his own mind whether he wishes to uphold such a movement and to be able to decide such a question intelligently, he must read literature having to do with all sides of the question. Only in this way will he learn to separate the good from the bad and decide what is the best for his country, for himself, and for the generations to come. LEAVE IT TO THE AMERICAN The first section of the world's highest aerial cable railroad has just been completed at Chamonix in the French Alps. This will enable tours to engage in both summer and winter sports while they are spending vacations in some popular summer resort. Engineers of considerable reputation at that least one half dozen snow capped peaks in the United States could be converted into similar summer-winter paradises where the golfer could put away his bars and trolley over in the cable car to assemble a few hours at skiing. Among the locations mentioned for possible "paradises" are Mt. Shasta in California, Gray's Pike and Pike Lake in Colorado, Mt. Rainer in Washington. All the vacationist would need is to leave his fashionable summer hotel and climb into his cable car to be whiskered over to a mountain peak for a skate on the ice. Then, back again he can come to cause on a lake in the moonlight. The first use of such a cable car came in the recent Olympic Games when competitors, spectators and equipment were carried into the mountains in connection with the winter sports exhibited there. Leave it to the Americans to popularize a new invention. The cable had hardly been tried out in this event before the idea was conceived that it could become a new mode of pleasure. The American zoal for new pleasures would not allow such enjoyable adventures to be left only to business purposes. He wants to have a good time with the cable car. Just let him start and within a moment or two a "sculptor" will Just let him start and within a summer or two all vacationists will be "cable carring." Campus Opinion To the Editor: May I add a shout to the rumpus concerning pacifism that is going on on the campus? When the pacifists say that the world does not want war, they speak an opinion that dates back to the days of Adam. Murder, plunder, famine, disease, poverty and the innumerable accompaniments of war have been loathed throughout the history of the human race. Throughout the centuries, prophets and sages have sought in vain a cure for war. Small wonder that people do not accept this solution, coming from a group which has been labeled "papists"—despicable term coined during the fierce days of the World War. The recent inhumanity of humanity has rendered us all suspicious. We are not ready to beat our swords into golf clubs until we have some guarantee that the other fellow is going to do likewise—especially when the other fellow appears to know little and cares less for golf. This explains why those who take individual pledges never to take up arms in defense of their country, or even, as some women have done, pledge themselves never to nurse a sick or wounded soldier, are popularly regarded as not only sinine, but positively dangerous. The American people stand ready to make any fair agreement which eliminates war and establishes international friendship, but they cannot throw themselves open to the unscrupulous nations of the world by assuming an idealistic policy, which the other nations preside over is unfair to expect the people of any one nation to do such a thing. Furthermore, Ted Shultz's parachute is every bit as illustrative of the inadequate, hare-brained scheme of pledging non-resistance as it is of the equally inadequate and hare-brained institution of war.

On Other Hills Plans for construction of a permanent stadium at the University of Missouri are being perfected. The stadium will be built in three units, the first unit to cost about $300,000. The completed stadium will cost over a million dollars, it is estimated. The first unit will seat between 25,000 and 30,000 persons, and the finished structure will seat about 70,000. Seniors at the Tulane University of Louisiana took intelligence tests last week. The test, which was the same test they took as freshmen, was given them in order to determine how much they have advanced or deteriorated since their first year at the university. The test consisted of 108 questions the seniors were given a half hour in which to answer them. The co-operative book store of the University of Oregon plans to pay dividends immediately after the closing of the 1928-24 school year. Paying dividends will be on the basis of 1 per cent or 10 per cent in trade. For the fourth time, the University of Chicago baseball team, under Coach A. A. Stagg, will go to Japan this summer to play the Waseda University team and other Japanese teams. Out of the entire senior class at Princess, 150 expressed preference for the honor of Pi Beta Kappa while 114 preferred variety "IPs" of the best college sport. A mock national convention was held recently at Ohio State. The league of Nations, the tariff, the court order, and the dry law were the brief issues of the convention. John N.
