To the Editor: What strict regulel tion forbids the University from allowing us the Friday and Satur- day after Thanksgiving for our- selves? The Administration is op- posed to a football game on Thanksgiving because it wants the students, as far as possible, to spend that day with their parents.

About Books AN AM'ERI'AN DISCIPLE OF JOY XCE. As I Lay Dymig:i ) Witlliamn IFaulk- ner: published by Jonathan Cape and Harrlson Smith 1930: Price 9. JaTames Joyce is teaching us, if not hing else, respect for language. In the .light of his profound inter- (st in techialu, one loses respect for the "sententious illiterates": Dreiser, who abuses language; An- derson and Hemingway who to a considerable extent evade the nec- essity of intelligently using it in their cult of the stark.. Those who are on the side of Joyce will respect this new novel by William Faulkner, who is Joyce's most able American disciple and in this, as in last year's novel Sound and Fury, a stylist of con- ;iderable promise. The material of the novel is pe- dlear, perhaps questionable. Mr. Faulkner is examining a rotten, de- graded hill family, perverted by years of in-breeding. The story is gripping-indeed melodrama. Ad- die Bundren lays dying while out- side below her window Cash, her son, indulges, his obsession for ef- ficient carpentry by hammering away at her coffin. Addie dies. Then cones a fantastic procession. Father, four sons -nd a d uhter, carry the coftfin on a wagon thirty miles to her home town for burial. Rivers are crossed where bridges are down. The trip takes nine days. After the burial old man Bundren ,t als money flrm his daughter, boyS himsef a wife. The proces- :in starts back into the hills. The echarcters are various: Var- .'man, a ni tel h1alf-wmI wo by intricate introspection comes to identify his mother vitth a dead fish; Dewey Dell bearing a child by one of her brothers; Darl, wierdly poetic and in madness resenting his whole family; Jewel, a Missis- sippi Vikma, who hAd secretly by righi, blowecz a neighbor's field in order to buy a huge wild horse. which he forever after loved and rode; old n ae Bundren, a self- centred, idiO; and the variously fanatic neighbors. sh ner skips from one of these nmnds to anotoer in separate chap- ers. .1-e displays considerable in- ventive Hower, aforceful style, and v x probabL' Iut e psychological insight (one caint check up in the Ae C( (idiots) in pr(jecti' these Seoule in Joycean terms. The only difficulty is that in the process we come to know more and more about material, of doubtful validity to begin with. Because the reader is never at any moment able to identify himslf with character, their consciousnesses come to him merely as sensation, as thrilling novelty. Relationships of truth and value are impossible to conceive from this novel because of the un- verifiable character of the mater- ial. For the reason that the material is able to command no attention from the intellect, the style attracts too much attention to itself. The result is an annoying dispropor- tion, which makes the novel infer- tor. The force of the feeling and the style, however, suggests that when Faulkner does integrate them, hE will have writtten a great novel. A GOOD CRITIC SURVEYS A Miniature History of Art: by I1. H. Wilenski: Oxford University Press 1930. Ur. W lenski has previously estab- lished his right to work in minia- hre, that is to t eneralise, by two of the most brilliant books of art- criticism in the generation: his The Mcidern Movement In Art and in- t 'o uction To Putch Art. He now produces a short survey, essentially i n t e n d e d for popular readers, charmingly written and at ease wish the wide mater"al, :1' -. Wiienski correctly avoids the tatement of personal tastes; the :piaee would have been too small to allow him to make those tastes valid. He confines himself to re- lating rather than commenting. But lie does manage to order his mate- rial to a fundamental view:o at aout the history of art. As he states it: "The history of art is seen in fact to be to a large extent the history of the use of artists by pow- erful individuals or organizations as instruments in the task of imposing some particular form of adjustment upon their gene::ation." The rise of romanticism whifch he defines as "the cul, oi the emotive fragment" saw the artist with new pretensions and concerned about his personal F 3 3 3r BROWN-CRESS & Company, Inc. - INVESTMENT SECU kITIES Orders executed on all ex- changes.

The practice of hazing freshmen has been declared by the student- governing body at Dartmouth to be "illegal and punishable on the grounds that the practice was of no benefit to first-year men, was frequently of considerable harm to them and was degenerating into a form of entertainment out of char- acter with the general atmosphere of the college. Continuing from the Philadel- phia Public Ledger, we read: "The fundamental objection to "indiscriminate hazing is the in- "justice of visiting its humiliation "on all members of a class, whether "they deserve it or not. The in- ability of over-enthusiastic sopho- "mores to distinguish the diagnostic "symptoms . of their hereditary "enemies before applying to them "the traditional panacea for mega- "lomaniacal egotism justifies the "course taken by the Dartmouth "student body." To this stand there will be con- siderable objection. The public at large is wont to believe that any deviation from the customs of the 1890's can be nothing but a soften- ing influence on the present day undergraduate. Especially would this be true in the event of the elimination of hazing. But one thing must not be lost sight of; that is the very definite distinguishing line between tradi- tion and nuisance. That tradition, as long as it stays within the bounds of decency and good judge- ment, is a worthy thing, no one will deny. But a practice which exacts an annual toll of physical injury and unnecessary humiliation has passed the bounds of tradition and become an unmitigated nuisance. The realization of this distinction marks no softening process but rather a more mature outlook on the problems of college life. Ahhh, I just thougit of some-- thing.

Teliebhone designers years ago shut the door on many hybrid styles-seeking first to work Out instruments which could best transmit the Voice, then making these few types in great quantities. Tbhis standardizeion made possible concen- trated study of manufacturing processes, and steady improvement of them. For example, the production of 15,000,000 switchboard lamps a year, all of one type, led to the development of a highly special machine which does in a few minutes what once took an hour. Manufacturing engineers, with their early start in applying these ideas, have been able to develop methods which in many cases have be- come industrial models. The opportunity is there! BELL SYSTEM
