A DRAB HOMECOMING
Homecoming in 1933 will go down in history as one of the quietest and least enthusiastic of any in the last decade. Very few grads and other visitors put in an appearance until just before game time, and most of them departed shortly after, leaving the city of Lawrence and Mount Oread deserted by evening.
The transfer of the game to Thanksgiving day from the Saturday before, the lack of pre-game enthusiasm because of the abolishment of Hobo Day, the anticipation of an uninteresting football game, starting at one o'clock instead of two or two-thirty, and last but not least "old man" depression, all contributed to the drainsness of the occasion. Many students took advantage of the extra day and one-half holiday they could have by going home, and departed. The color of the whole occasion so prominent in past years was lacking. The "pep" rally Friday night was one of the best in years, but it couldn't carry the whole burden.
Homecoming was a success as far as victory on the gridiron was concerned, but the side-line dishes, the color and excitement traditioned with the event were lacking, making it just an ordinary football game, instead of a celebration.
If the football season had lasted a little longer perhaps Kansas and Notre Dame would have been eligible for the Rose Bowl game.
THANKSGIVING TESTS
Many students who went home for a rest and a complete relaxation from studies suffered a rude awakening on reaching the family sitting room. The quiet hour after dinner when the folks get together for talk of the day's affairs found son and daughter on the spot.
With many confusing questions bothering them, the family evidently believed here was the time to get the straight of things from one one fresh from the fountain of knowledge. The intricacies of inflation, the situation in Germany and the value of stratosphere flights, were some of the mysteries son and daughter were asked to explain.
Two courses were left open to the one questioned: he might admit a disgraceful lack of knowledge and say that he could not satisfactorily answer, or he might attempt to bluff it through, aided by two or three six-syllable words, perhaps picked up in etymology or chemistry.
Anyway, it is a relief to be back where the inquisition is conducted by those who know, or at least suspect, the limitations of their students.
WHO'S IN THE CROW'S-NEST?
THE ship of state has been through turbulent waters. The going seems smoother now, but dark clouds are still within view. Roosevelt is at the helm, but who's in the crow's-nest? Who is looking out forward, backward, on either side, watching for a rift of light in the clouds or a dangerous reef in the shallows?
To some, it is even sacrilegious to speak against the administrative acts. The government, it is true, has had, and will continue to need, whole-hearted support of its people to find a workable solution to the evils of our day. But it does not need blind support.
Such a gigantic social undertaking as that which the United States has launched since March 4 cannot be perfect in every detail. The press can only sit in the crow'snest and condense the voluminous information, and watch for the reefs which come to light day by day.
Will the enlargement of the dance floor in the Union building mean more room, more dates or just more stags?
YESTERDAY IN GENEVA
Once again the World Disarmament conference has convened in Geneva. Will the results of this session be more satisfactory than the results of the preceding ones? The citizens of the world hope that they will be.
The absence of Germany and Japan from the conference introduces, on the one hand, a disturbing factor, and on the other, a unifying factor, into the plans of the other nations. The success of the conference depends upon whether the other nations attempt to protect themselves by embarking upon an armamants race, or unite to bring world opinion to bear upon the two absent nations.
Yesterday in Geneva marks perhaps the last attempt of the nations of the world to reduce armaments by agreement. The failure of this conference, if it does fail, will undoubtedly mean the beginning of an international race for arms and for a restoration of the "balance of power"—whatever that is.
The success of the conference, on the other hand, will mean that international peace will be maintained for a while longer, and that the nations of the world still look with disfavor upon war as a means of settlement of disputes.
CONFISCATED ACTIVITY BOOKS
Twenty-five activity tickets were confiscated Thursday at the game because they were used by someone other than their rightful owners. This means that the students whose tickets were taken will be denied all privileges afforded by the activity books for the rest of the semester.
Sufficient warning has been given concerning transferring of activity books, and the penalty of losing the book entirely was made known at the first of the year. The threat was not carried out, however, until the Thanksgiving game.
It is quite likely that the twenty-five books taken represent only a small per cent of the books which have been transferred during the year, but this is just another example of a few suffering for the sins of the group. Many students who loaned their books did so only because those borrowing them had misplaced their own books or because it was more convenient for them to use a borrowed book than to hunt for theirs.
To those twenty-five students whose books were confiscated, such treatment probably seems unnecessarily severe. Such a rule, however, is necessary not only to protect the departments of the University who have charge of the activities but also the student body who by purchasing the books have made these activities possible.

WOMEN'S HOUSE PRESIDENTS' ASSOCIATION:
"But what is more relevant and more pertinent is the fact that these journals and films are a source of inspiration to millions of growing youngsters whose minds, yet in a formative state, were exposed to these harmful sources to a state where cheap sensationalism of the sort portrayed by them is appealing.

"Hand in hand with these gospels of the times go the movies with the eulogization of all that is undesirable in society; the modern gangster; the false presentation of college life with all the 'rah rah' element so false to the real aims and purposes of modern education.
Our Contemporaries
"We are living in an era of sensationalism when our attention is daily being drawn to details of sorid crimes and nasalizing mercenaryism; the daily newspapers are succumbing more and more to this seemingly modern evil. The penny horrible of a few decades ago has given place to a more insidious and more far reaching influence, the yellow tabloids.
The following was picked up from the Daily, Canada's best college daily.
SENSATIONALISM
LOBERTA BRABANT, President
"College students as a unit should blackball all newspapers and films of the type that go out of their way to present a distorted picture of college life. This attitude if adopted would reinforce to reinstate college life, in general, in the high standing it deserves in the community."—Daily Texan.
that college life has long since left behind as more rational centers is still used in this campaign toward sensationalism.
BACK TO THE FARM
More than 600,000 farm youths who have reached that "on their own" stage are starting out on American farms this year. They are marrying, setting up households, starting families and beginning to establish themselves as adults. They are one form farm crop that cannot be played under. Normally, non-farm life would take in one-third of this group, but the cities cannot abstorge the "surplus," they have problems in the shepherding of their own youth.
Will these 600,000 make a go of it?
You bet they will! They are young and ambitious, they won't have family burdens or overhead expenses, and they will undoubtedly profit from the mistakes that have been made by the farmers in the past ten years. It will make life harder for the older farmers, but the youngsters who know what they about will get along in farm-terrace settings, or thirty years ago. This youngest generation of farmers has the technological and scientific knowledge and equipment for successful farming.
Many college students will be among this group of 600,000, most of whom are graduates of agricultural schools and a few, to escape the harsh routine of a farm. They can seek freedom and liberty in being their own "boss."—California Daily Bruin.
