THE PIONEER
Sir Ross Smith flew from London to Australia in the most remarkable flight ever made up to his time. Pushing over strange deserts and uncharted mountains, he succeeded in reaching his destination. Harry Hawke, another Australian, jumped off from Nova Scotia in a flight to the NAC across the Atlantic ocean. He fell into the sea within a few hours flight of his destination but was rescued by a passing trump steamer. Both of these men later were killed in little flights above the home hangar.
Major Frederick Martin set out, from Los Angeles in command of a flight which was to encircle the globe. Hard lack befell the major from the start. His companions succeeded in reaching their goals from day to day without difficulty. The other day the major, far behind his companions, started out to overtake them far on the bitter peninsula of Alaska. Warred and eager to reach them and lead them in the flight of which he was commander, the major pushed his plane forward in the worst kind of weather. Now it is feared that he is lost.
It would be strange if the major lost his life in a supreme achievement. Few explorers or fiber loses their "lives" in setting a new record, but fate appears to be against Martin. Even the Wright brothers failed to have serious accidents in their attempts to perfect the plane. The life of a pioneer in any branch of service is a hard one. He must suffer, if the world is to be bettered. If Major Martin is dead he dieron a phoenix who gave his life for the future of the world.

"Henry and me" are strangely quiet. Henry is editing a paper where competition is keen and "me" is trying to decide which way to vote.
TRADITIONS PASS
With the substitution of a women's track meet for the annual May Fete another school tradition is relegated to the background. This protest is not directed against the idea of a women's track meets but is rather in defense of the old May Fete and the customs and traditions it embodies.
In the first place the two events are so entirely different that there would be an opportunity for both of them and if there were not the idea of exchanging a May Fete for an Athletic carnival lacks some of the conceptions of the principles governing fair exchange. The two events are hardly synonymous despite the fact for the past few years it has been the duty of the department of physical education to produce a May Fete.
Both of these events have been developed into objects of real worth and admiration in other schools. The substitution here would seem to be evidence of lack of appreciation of the fundamental difference between the two. It is hardly to be wondered that the department of physical education would prefer to use class time for instruction in track events as contrasted with May Fete dancing, but, that should not be taken as an indication that there are none qualified to direct the May Fete.
There are those on the faculty of the University of Kansas who are so well versed in the customs and practices of old England that with their assistance a reproduction of an
Ad English May festival could be carried out. Such a production would be a contribution at the shrine of art and culture which those of the East accuse the people of the West of necting to their deterriment.
The Kannan will carry no joke on commencement speeches this year. There is a thousand other publications that will do it for it.
WHEN SPOONER PASSES
Soldom are obituaries written before a person dies. Tributes are given when one can no longer appreciate them. Flowers are sent to a person in his death bed, or afterward. But it so always.
Those students who return to the University next fall will miss old Spooner library, gift of that benevolent gentleman at Boston, for during the summer the books will be transferred to the new library south of Snow hall.
No longer will Spooner's lights, like those of a steamboat in the foe, gleam out on stormy nights. No more will her steam pipes knocking interrupt the dreamers. Afterwards of sitting in the English seminar, while the rain drops splatter outside creating atmosphere for the reading of Markheim, will not be possible. Whistles at the main door will not bring a score of girls outside before closing time. The days of romances began back in the stacks will be gone forever. Few will remember the musty smell of thousands of books.
In the last days of your life as a library you were the busiest. The New Day at the University of Kansas, when students really study, has seen your chairs occupied most of the time. Only the ding, ding, ding, of your clines clock announcing 10 p.m. served to awake the New Student from deep submersion in Milton, Tausig, Greene, or Plato.
Your passing is tragic, yet you have performed your service well. It is fortunate that you are to house collections of art for truly you are a museum.
Next to a bunch of public speakers getting funny in an exerted class, the sadsthe thing in the world is an indel at a revival meeting.
Last year it was the girls that put on a sweater when the hot weather came. Now it is the men.

Campus Opinion
Who is the dean of women? To one student, at least, who recently wrote an editorial in the Kansan on *Manna*, can I Go out to Play?" she is an ogre who binds the school's chief-chair rules. The dean of women is far 'from being such a person. In the first place, she has not made a single rule in connection with the date rule or anything else. These rules were made by the so-called oppressed and yasmunized women of the University, but because they believe in sane thinking and same living. The dean of women has as her trust the guardianship of the stam-ards and ideals which these women
W. S. G. A. is not a band of tyrannical women seeking to impose their wills on their more humble sisters. It is an organization representing the real womanhood of the University.
The writer of "Mama, Can I Go Out to Play?" suggests "Dodge the dean of women" as a pleasing past-time open to K. U. students. Why not remind her that to avoid those persons who are responsible for the date rule she should change this slogan to "Dodge the fellow-students

E. H. LINDLEY, Chancellor.
Does any woman want to do that?
If she does, she is refusing her own choice. She is refusing to support the women whom she has elected, and so we cannot name her for an attitude of this kind.

Before a crowd of 35,000 spectators, a team of four men from Boston College, running with the precision of a watch, raced over the two-mile course at Philadelphia in 7 minutes, 47 and 3-seconds, clipping 1 and 1-5 seconds off the former world record set last year by Penn State. The Maroon and Gray run were first in Georgetown, sped across the line 25 yards ahead of Georgetown, and 36 yards ahead of Cambridge's anchor man. Penn State finished 10 yards behind the third team.
