SLOSS TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1929 THE MICAHICAN DAILY TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1929 should be delayed until an angry student opinion forces action, or until the ban becomes extinct by the slow process of evolution. Further, it seems to us that the opinions of Dean Bates and Dean Cabot should be honored with re- spect to their own schools. The danger is that a flood of objections raised by others-the difficulty of enforcement, the waste of time, the temptation to immorality, the un- democracy, and the other time- honored and thread-bare objec- tions-will cause the deans con- cerned not to push a change which may seem trifling in their eyes but which looms large in the eyes of the students. 0-- WHAT VALUE VACATION? The Senate, with a week's rest since the special session, convened yesterday for the regular session. Before it lies the badly muffed tar- iff bill, a huge tax-reduction pro- posal, the always bothersome ap- propriation bill, besides the unfin- ished business of the last regular session and numerous routine mat- ters. In view of the extent of its legis- lative duties during the next six or eight months, it is hoped that the Senate, by its week's vacation has regained sufficient dignity and ner- vous balance to conduct itself henceforth in a manner fitting to the august position it holds in the national government. If it expects to retain the proper respect of the citizenry of the na- tion the Senate must drop the mud-slinging, the dallying into ex- tra-legislative investigations and the other practices of political van- ity it assumed in the extra session and confine its ambition and inge- nuity to the effecting of construc- tive legislation. DANCE TICKETS The traditional rivalry between the Sophomores and Juniors has crept into class functions other than the Fall and Spring games with the result that the lack of co- operation between the classes is re- sulting in confusion regarding this business of dance tickets for the Sophomore prom and the J-Hop. Tickets for both functions go on sale today in spite of the fact that there is several weeks' difference in time between the parties- the parties, in fact, being divided by the Christmas holidays. The com- petition may not be intentional but whether it is or not, there should' be some regulation of ticket sales that would give each class a break" and eliminate the bad ef- feet of two simultaneous ticket sales to two somewhat similar func- tions. The Sophomores-not to under- rate their excellent prom-have a little roughei sledding than the Juniors because of the compara- tively modest way in which they present their party and the early sale of J-Hop tickets seems a bit unfair. The situation offers an oppor- tunity for the student council to exercise a bit of judicial regulation that would clear u a situation which is confusing, if not vicious. o0 PARASITIC PASSENGERS In Connecticut there is a statute that protects automobile owners and liability insurance companies from damage suits brought on by hitch hikers and guest passengers, and in ever increasing numbers the other States are passing laws that make hitch-hiking a crime. Thus is a danger and a nuisance to au- toists being materially lessened. Well meaning hitch hikers--not- ably college students with depleted bank accounts-would suffer by a complete shutting down of this sort of free transportation, but those who have forced legal measures to be brought against the practice are 'getting just what they deserve. It is unfortunate that these parasitic passengers with their warped sense of gratitude should make an issue out of what otherwise would be a harmless and convenient means of transportation, but the harm has been done and more or less drastic action is necessary for the protec- tion of the unwary motorist. Motor trucks in nearly every State have long carried a wind- I eldcard bearing thecurt phrase "No Riders" in order to protect the truck owners from any possible damage suits arising from picking up passengers, but motorists as a whole cannot always as unsympa- thetically ignore the silent plea of a lone hitch hiker standing at a cold crossroad. Hitch hiking is not to be wholly condemned provided the passenger shows appreciation for the favor byj [ SAbout Books A pK - of-~--- Music And Drama " "------, - 0 Nt DREISER FIGURES W'IDEC't3 E t: R" IN VOLUME OF SHORT STORIES.

A AUTOMOBILES AND GRADUATE STUDENTS The attitude of the Law and Medical schools toward the auto * ban, as revealed in statements by Dean Bates and Dean Cabot, should be and is one of cooperation with the auto-bail department of the deans' office. A break with the University's administrative policy on this matter would be productive of an unfortunate row-especially at this time when the new admin- istration is trying to steer the Uni- versity away from the reefs on which the last administration foundered. But in what might be called "obiter dicta" the deans of our most important graduate schools have expressed the opinion that the automobile regulation might well be waived in favor of graduate students as men of ma- turer interests and more serious in- tent. This has long been the con- tention of The Daily, and it is gratifying to see it thus honored in private acceptance if not as yet} in actual reform. To avoid internal dissension at a time when the University is striving to find her feet, the graduate deans have not broken with the dean of men's office to the extent' of re- fusing to penalize violators. Rather have they devised a penalty less biting than the suspension provided in the literary college; but withal a penalty rigorous enough to make a would-be driver think twice. It seems likely, also, that sec''d vio- lators will receive no mercy. But behind this alternative system of penalties we cannot help feeling that the private reaction of the deans is one of havinig to enforce the regulation since it exists, but of wishing such a petty annoyance and irritation be gone.I The reticence of the deans to de- mand a change in the regulation r 'Theodore Roosevelt and the well-j known "white house kids," come to print in the recent book of Earle Looker, The White House Gang.- This book should prove interesting to the majority of Americans, for it has long been felt by most of us that the Roosevelt episode in the White House is a kind of national! epic. Regardless of what our po- litical opinions may be, we look at Teddy as the great heart, and as the ideal of companionship between father and son. Speaking of the book, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, wi- dow of the deceased president, says: "It has given me great plea- sure. The two that have gone re- turn in these pages-and the mer- ry White House days for a back- ground." It has received the ap- plaud of several important maga- zine editors. ** * There has always been much con-' jecturing about the identity of the novelist who wrote the . Glorious} Apollo. There have been many j (not always flattering) suggestions as to why she calls herself L. Adams Beck, alias E. Barrington, alias Louis Moresby. This writer has published another book, The Gar- den of Vision, in which she describ- es the emotional and spiritual ex- periences of a modern English girl in contact with the ancient wisdom of Buddhist Japan. We suspect that this volume is the outcome of the Story of Oriental Philosophy which was written by Mrs. Beck shortly over a year ago, a book in which she discussed in Will Durant fashion the philosophies of the East. Mrs. Beck in her biographi- cal writings-if such distinction dare be placed upon her Glorious Apollo and Divine Lady-did much to provoke scholars in biographical criticism. Above all, the story of Lord Byron, was deemed the most unfair, for in this book critics de- clared she not only did injustice to the hero but to many other lit- erary personages of the time as well. Leigh Hunt and Percy Bysshe Shelley figured among the misre- presented. She placed herself in I the ranks of the fiction-biograph- ers with these works, a 'sin whvich can hardly be forgiven. Copies of the -new book have been sent to shops already. The Memoirs of Casanova, that scandalous and singularly unreti- cent old adventurer, have just been condensed into a one volume edi- tion in the Modern Library series. These memoirs were originally pub- In the direction too. e;pecially in the part wherei humor is in tro- duced, there is a deft ness and sub- tley that would be a novelty on the i American screen. I refer particu- larly to the long-shot of the five I skeleton's riding of the bony re- mains of the inn-keeper's mare. The humor sifts into the run of scene unobtrusively and with no sudden bang, so characceristic of our own. It would be interesting, indeed, to witness the result of the filming of Hardy, now that Phillpots hias been "done so successfully. There are certain of his works that could be splendidly arranged for the screen. "Egdon Heath" and "Far! From the Maddening Crowd" in particular, for they, too, portray in scene Hardy's bit of England just as "Widecombe Fair" does.
