Welcome
Alumni
Welcome, Homecomers!
Hospitality will be the order of the day. Homecoming is designed for all Alumni and former students and the 1939 student body joins to make it a gala day for them.
Students come and go but the University lives forever—not only for today's youth but in the hearts of its graduates. Homecoming is the traditional time for revival of school spirit among the Alumni. The students express the pious hope that they may make this a particularly memorable Homecoming by serving that Missouri tiger to the Alumni on a silver platter.
Either He Will Or He Will Not
Comparable only to the weather as a topic of current conversation is the third term controversy. Every word issuing from the executive lips is avidly scanned by the press in the hope of divining the secret. The net result in the lack of a definite statement by the person most concerned has been far-fetched absurdities.
Latest predictions are based on Rooseveltian utterances at the ceremony attendant upon the laying o the corner stone of the new Franklin Roosevelt library. The President expressed the hope that the weather would be fine in January of 1941 when he returned to dedicate the new library. This epocal statement has a significance not apparent on the surface. It really had two other meanings, one that Mr. Roosevelt will not be a candidate in 1940.
A sample observation on which commentators have drawn, and the most pertinent observation yet made by the individual most concerned, was uttered at the Democratic Victory dinner on March 4. 1937.
The President said: "My great ambition on January 20, 1941, is to turn over the desk and chair in the White House to my successor, whoever he may be, with the assurance that I am at the same time turning over to him as President, a nation intact, a nation at peace, a nation prosperous, a nation clear in the knowledge of what power it has to serve its own citizens."
From this the following important conclusions have been deduced: Mr. Roosevelt will not be a candidate in 1940; Mr. Roosevelt will be a candidate in 1940.
When Mr. Roosevelt moved the Thanksgiving date up one week, the underlying purpose read into his action was that he would be a candidate in 1940, for he certainly must be trying to hurry 1940 along; at the same time his action meant that he would not be a candidate in 1940 and was anxious to end his term of office.
The fact that the 48 states split almost equally on the Thanksgiving controversy had further implications. Their division on the issue meant that if the President were a candidate, he would not be elected; simultaneously, it showed the country that if he were a candidate, he would be elected.
So it goes. In the interim such speculation serves two possible purposes in this critical period: the innocent one of providing a safety valve by which today's anxiety and alarm may be released, and the more doubtful one of providing an effective smoke screen that obscures all other important events.

It Isn't Etiquette
When the Russian ambassador to the United States gave a party recently for members of the social and political set of Washington, the great majority of those invited did not attend, principally because they wished to show the ambassador that they did not agree with his country's views on the international situation. They hid their reasons, however, by tendering polite excuses, that is polite for the most part. One de-
lined because he said he did not like vodka.
Allowing political differences to create difficult social situations seems the peculiar prerogative of the complex social whirl of Washington. To Kensams it appears both childish and insulting.
Even the fact that Russia made direct attacks on President Roosevelt, the United States congress, and the neutrality policy, is not sufficient justification for failure to observe the social amenities of diplomatic life. Differences in political convictions do not justify the "smarty had a party" attitude.
It is only fair and "American" that we accord the Russian ambassador, or any other representative of another country, the same social consideration we would extend to those who have the same political convictions as ourselves.

To The Editor
For two long years I have been on this campus. For twelve years, the pride of using my activity at any basketball court was my ability at any basketball school; students who must make my way through school, have to work during the games at my job while others have to play them.
Just the other day my little brother came to visit me for the week and never seen a real college basketball game in our own house. I paid (nine dollars) for football games I hadn't seen in the last two years and decided I might as well get a basketball game.
I told my little brother that he could see the game again, but I was not sure how to tell him that I was tired of trying to get one-third-age return on the phone.
Well, he went to the KU-George Washington football game. Apparently he didn't look quite enough like me. For the activity book was taken from him, and he was turned away from the game.
By the way, did you see any of those 20,000 savanna seats at the game last Saturday? It's too bad we can't lift them.
What about the end of my story? Oh, my activity book was taken from me. I won't be able to check books from the library to do my studies now. But I wouldn't have had it unless I had my iCard at the next game anyway.

ON THE OFF B-E-A-T
By Roderick Burton
Deane W. Malot hopes the University will not place undue emphasis on sports. The Chancellor needt not worry; we don't think even W. A. White will take it too hard if Kansas bears Missouri.
But we don't want to wish for too much to happen at the game to tomorrow; all this department desires is that a Kansas man will be on the receiving end of each of Christman's passes.
One last word on Homecoming.
Entries in the bicycle races appear to be taking it seriously—at least we had a very good one, but was going to pump turkey.
Newspaper reports seem to indicate that with submarines, airplanes and mines, the British navy may et be sunk.
One thing we like about a trial when the defendant is caught lying on the witness stand, his lawyer does not give the defense his he was trying to shield a woman.

Ronald King, the Tigers' seasonally sophomore punter who was given so much credit in kicking his mates to a victory over the Sooners last Saturday will find his match in the Jayhawkers' Frank Bukaty. Against George Washington "Huckleberry" booted six times for an average of 44 yards. He has been hitting around the 40-mark all season in addition to his fine passing and ball carrying.

But there's no doubt about where you'll be at 1:45 Saturday afternoon. You'll be standing up in Memorial Stadium, watching and hearing a brilliantly clad University Band play on a just-as-brilliant emerald green drum as they march through here-headed and you might be singing too as the band plays the Star Spangled Banner. Three minutes later you will see the feminine royalty of Homecoming take the seepie from Gov. Payne Ratner.
