THE RETURN OF JOHN BARLEYCORN
John Barrycorn made his first appearance legally Tuesday night at midnight. For the past fourteen years he has been hiding in speakeasies and alleyes. Now he is in evidence in thirty-six states and probably will extend to others.
Metropolitan newspapers stated that the people of the larger cities did not receive the repeal so joyously, but were merely curious to see and taste the many liquors and drinks that are now legal.
Many questions and problems are now confronting the wet states. What sort of restrictions and control are to be placed on the sale of liquor? Will the old saloon return? Will the modern speakacy be prominent? These are but a few of the many difficulties which must be met effectively. Fear has been expressed that the bootleggers will attempt to syphon off their large stores of illegal liquor and divert them into legal liquor channels. So after all, the people who voted for the return of "good" drinks, may not be assured that they receive them.
Perhaps the real explanation of the whole question may be that the people of the United States are merely curious and anxious to see what John Barleycorn really is after his seclusion, instead of really carrying for him and the things for which he stands.
FOOTBALL'S NEW DEAL IS SUCCESSFUL
The curtain for the 1933 football season has been rung down and colleges throughout the United States are turning their athletic attentions to indoor sports for the winter.
The gridiron season just ended contained many upsets and many thrills, and set many new records. The attendance and gate receipts went far above predictions. Those closely connected with the sport hardly expected as many spectators as last year, when the records found new low's, and were indeed surprised to discover that in the majority of cases that as much money was taken in. This new deal seemed to work.
of returning prosperity. People are again spending their money. Football is a luxury, perhaps not for many who play, but surely for the spectators, and if they are spending for this entertainment, certainly they have already done or soon will be doing the same for other things. The new deal in football has worked; perhaps the new deal of the government will follow suit.
SPEAK O'MUSE
The Carruth poetry prize contest has again been announced and University poets are beginning a preliminary polishing up of their iambic pentameters and mythological allusions.
It is fortunate, perhaps, that the contest does not close until some time in April, when the weather will once more be occasionally soft and mild. It would seem difficult to turn out nature lyrics, while the old' north wind was clawing at the windows. However, something of an epic might be composed while whirling across the windswept campus.
This can well be taken as a sign
And how can love poetry be written when the student mind is a kaleidoscope of term papers, quizzes and reports. Such an attempt would probably end something like this;
The soft sweet contour of her cheek With two term papers due this week Rose gently toward her wide, broad
brow,
And a book report a day late now.

A PERENNIAL CONCERN
Decision of the University of California to alter its compulsory class attendance policy brings to the fore again the problem of educational method that may be counted on to arise at least half a dozen times during the school year. In general the occasions that lead to attention in the college press center around the arguments for and against compulsion in university education. Specifically, revision of class attendance requirements, and it is in this latter division that the California case falls.
Briefly, the plan that is proposed embodies elimination of attendance records for all but a few subjects. News from Berkeley implies that the majority of courses will be effected by the change, and that students will be allowed considerable freedom in directing their scholastic affairs, evidently according to the principle that students of university age are capable enough and have balance enough to detrain their responsibilities in going or not going to classes.

V W C A BAZAAR:
That students actually are able to decide the matter of class attendance for themselves cannot be dogmatically asserted, but neither can it be wholly denied. Two general tendencies are to be noted, however, as having a possible bearing on deciding the question. The first is the lower average in years of college and university students, and the second—in opposition—is what appears to be greater seriousness among undergraduates, or at least more emphasis on things not directly connected with the pleasure of the individual student. Perhaps neither tendency is real enough to furnish a basis for conclusions, but some provisional judgments can be set up.
Unfortunately, however, the line between a feeling of responsibility for class attendance and the lack of such a feeling cannot be drawn by division
It can be said that it would probably be more deterrimental than advantageous for a university composed largely of undergraduates to make a complete revision of its standards so as to allow all students free freedom in "cutting" or attending classes. It can also be assumed that if you persecuse and graduates is probably not calculated to insure the best educational results.

elementary and advanced classifications.
The problem, in short, is apparently not one to be solved by administrative juggling of the machinery of education. It is doubtful, indeed, if the perennial attention to the question of required class attendance can be solved in any but a haphazard fashion, which is always effective for the equally haphazard human being. This does not mean that the question is insoluble, but it does mean the question can be solved only by students themselves, as they reveal themselves capable of determining their responsibilities. If they do show that capability, then an instructor is justified in quietly doing as he sees fit. If students do not reveal any sense of balance in the matter, then they cannot expect leniency—Daily Nebraskan.
