OUR CONGRESS?
"Beware of entangling alliances." What must George Washington and Thomas Jefferson think of the present session of Congress and its problems? So much of the immediate concern of Congress is centered on foreign affairs that some people may have doubts as to whether this legislative body belongs to us or to Europe. Of course, domestic problems predominate in the long list of difficulties which Congress will have to meet, but it is no longer chiefly concerned with narrow nationalistic questions.
Tomorrow President Hoover will send his one-year moratorium on intergovernmental debts to Congress for ratification. *The United States is almost powerful enough to make or break Europe, its own welfare, however, is closely bound up with that of foreign countries. If Europe falls, his country is also apt to fall. Therefore the moratorium is of immediate concern.*
The President's request for American adherence to the World Court will be acted upon by the senate in the near future. Legally Hoover could declare that the United States becomes a member of the World Court, but he dare not do so until he is assured of popular support. Other international problems which will be taken up at Washington are the question of Philippine independence and the February disarmament conference which is to be held at Geneva.
The day when America can sit back and quietly watch the wheels of the rest of the world go by is past. The wheels in other parts of the World help to turn those in our own country, and American statesmen are beginning to realize this fact.
The University of California received fifteen cents the other day from a former student, who confessed that several years before he had stolen a loaf of bread at a University celebration. In this day, that's real love for the old Alma Mater.
A "NEW" GAME
write football is wrigling heroically in the throes of an aftermath of post-season charity, athletic fads have been living through a brief respite in the athletic curriculum. Friday night, however, will see the resumption of one of the fastest indoor athletic games in the world, and a game which the University of Kansas has had a notable part in spreading over the entire nation. Basketball is in the air!
Years age Dr. James Naislmith, veteran faculty member of the physical education department, invented the cage game which eventually took the country by storm. Now it is a major sport in all American colleges of any size. Sporting authorities have come to look upon this sector of the country as the center of real basketball activity. The game has reached
a perfection here that is not worthy. From the ranks of Missouri Valley players sports authorities more than once have selected members of the mythical All-American quintet.
A leader in the march which made basketball a popular, recognized sport, the Kansas squad is entering upon another year of fast competition in the Big Six. Friday night the home season will be inaugurated in practice games with the Kansas Aggie squad, and the sports spotlight will be focused on a new game for several months. It will be a new season for a "new" game, a game which has often been played, but which never loses interest for players or "ans."
We note in the news that a former professor of English at a prominent mid-western university has written a book called "Burlesque." It is advertised in this manner: "The rowdy, riotous story of Musician Comedy's wayward sister—Burlesque. Sixty years of bawdy, guddy fun in the western honky-tonka."
Reconcilie that with a college professor, and we'll tell you how to end the depression.
THE SOPHOMORE ANGLE
The Washburn Review, student newspaper at Washburn College, reports several enlightening facts as a result of a recent questionnairie submitted to a psychology class in the college. The students, sophomores by the way, said that they thought the Golden Rule and the Ten Commandments were the best guides to good living.
Well, outside of the fact that the world decided all that several hundred years ago, it's interesting to note that students still "believe" in these codes. We agree perfectly with the Washburn sophomores that the Golden Rule and the Commandments are real codes of living, but it has been our college experience that they aren't often put into practical application, least of all among sophomores. We'd like to find a roommate who has any qualms about swiping our last clean shirt. In fact, we'd like to find any University student who looks out very much for anyone but himself. If there are any such altruistic souls, we've missed them almost entirely along the rocky, four-year road to graduation.
In the same questionnaire, the sophomores also were asked to name the six most important changes which should be effected in the world. Disarmament was listed oftener than anything else, but down through this sky of pacifism shot a thunderbolt calculated to shake the foundations of the malt industry and reduce the anatomical aeurioduplots of several well-known races. One student made a plea for world prohibition! And with a final gas, we ask: "What are sophomores coming to?"
The Daily Tar Heel of the University of North Carolina says that Miss Average Co-eed weights 121 pounds and that her lung capacity has increased in the past ten years. That's an awful blow to the great feminine student body. We'll bet that their increased lung capacity resulted from meaning about their average weight.

Officer Predicts Lack of Efficiency in Hoover Navy Program of Economy
Washington, Dec. 9 — (UP) —The dispute between the Navy department and President Hoover over questions of naval economy was continued vigorously today in the annual report of the Defense Department, chief of the Bureau of Navigation.
Upham, the Navy's second highest ranking officer, devoted a large portion of his report to Secretary Adams to a description of Mr. Hower's curtailment procedure and to its "serious impairment" that led Hower to as an arm of the national defense."
"During the past year the number of ships in active commission was made up of 20 proposed operating force plan for the fiscal year 1933 contemplating further expansion. This full commission and reductions in the number of men allowed all types of vessels."
"Such reductions must inevitably result in materially lowered training and efficiency, and in the event of war would be of the gravest consequence. Navy in ships, or personnel, must result in expenditures of funds many (old greater than savings temporarily effected. This is the lesson of history." The bureau chief told Adams that "every effort made by the enlisted personnel, exclusive of
Lower Efficiency
Uptight urged that the American delegation to the Geneva army conference be urged to urge the soldiers viewers thoroughly familiar with the many ramifications connected with the war.
The report said that "despite the recent distressing economic situation but exists throughout the country, the say situation continues to be very unhappy" (Bernstein 1988). The increase in pay which the Navy us$ received since 1908 is but 11 per cent over that received at that time, and in spite of the present depression which is but temporary, it is inadequate for increased costs of living since 1908".
those paid for by the Veterans' Bureau, was reduced from 84,500, the number of veterans it supported. Upham said the "approved naval policy of the United States" calls on "all combatants to deploy Navy "second to none." "This is in conformity with London Treaty provisions."

The fact that some of the pills of wisdom often turn out not to be agreeably sugar-coated often rests with the students. The reason is that, throughout, they are sometimes prone to forget that their classes, who have chosen the course because of great personal interest, would benefit a great deal. It were presented less pedantically.
into the life of every undergraduate there invariably appears some course which turns out to be most uninteresting. Some courses in the curriculum of the student it seems rather unfortunate that it cannot be presented in an absorbing manner.

Uninteresting Courses
--for every age, taste and purse.
The professor or instructor who cannot understand why there should be an epidemic of cutting in his classes must be capable of presenting a possible for him to present his knowledge in a manner that would be more interesting, compelling and generally understandable to students particularly upperclassmen. They are interested in their courses inasmuch as they hope to use the knowledge gleaned therefrom in their careers. We want them to be aware and their students have everything to gain from a well-presented subject.
Fortunately, this group is small and unintentionally academic. We realize that were they aware of this fact, they would probably be able to remedy the situation. No student can cratically tell his professor he thinks his course could be improved, but a general class attitude is invariably an accurate indicator. *Syracuse Daily Orange.*

These girls are only starting their four years of college away from parental conditions. They, upon examinations, had not yet gone through the strain of late hours, excessive smoking, and drug use. Perhaps they will get through their first year without injuring their health or the lives of those around them. Of us think it's smart to stay up for late sessions, not get up for breakfast, or stay out at night, ahead of getting some exercise outdoors, out at midnight, drink many coffee and smoke twice as many cigarettes.
This Year --- of all years Give a Gift --for every age, taste and purse.
Newton—Bethle college here is facing an increasing indebtedness as a result of the depression. J. F. Moyer, the deprived and unemployed, recouped. Last years indebtedness of 801.627 has been increased to about $122.00, his report showed. The endowed school has inwardly accounted for about $100.00, the last five years, however, he said.
We wonder what these same girls will score in a physical examination after four years in college—Oklahoma Daily.
