BETTEK THAN A DOCTOK
The new rule adopted by the Fac
ulty penalizing’ class absences will
prevent more sickness than a corps of
medical practitioners. Chronic inval
ids are likely to iind it advantageous
lo take a lew extra “pipe courses” to
oil'set possible deiliciencies due to too
frequent “cuts.”
But however stringent the new rul
ing may appear on the surface, it is
likely to work its principal hardship
on those who regard classes only as
a necessary evil. An examination of
Lite rules seems to indicate that they
will operate fairly in most cases. It
is still leit optional with the instruc- j
tor not to report an absence for which
the student has previously made per
sonal arrangement, and leaves of ab
sence are still granted for longer per
iods of absence. These and the pro
vision to excuse for sickness should
cover fairly nearly all cases of nec
essary absence.
Tbc point which is likely Lo arouse
the most opposition is the provision
making absences cumulative from
year Lo year. Two absences a semes
ter during the whole course would
cost a Senior one hour credit, no mat
ter how scattered the courses in which
they occurred. Most Seniors have a
lew hours to spare over the required
120 anyway, but it is not impossible
that a few absences occuring two or
three years before could prevent grad
uation with the class.
Why not balance the books period
ically like a good business man, in
stead of letting the account "run?”

Professor A. 1'. Heddie’s dramati
zation of "Dombey and Son," played
under his direction by the Dramatic
Club last night, was easily the best
theatrical performance staged by Uni
versity students in recent years. Mr.
Peddle s ow n work as Captain Cuttle
was superb, but at that he was close
ly rivalled by several of the under
graduate players. The director and
cast cannot be too highly compliment
ed upon their success.

Social activity is particularly alive
this week-end with the Y. W. C. A.
Bazaar, the Dramatic Club production
of “Dombey and Son,” the Engineer
ing Club dance, and several fraternity
initiations. Ihe social calendar for
the week-ends from now until the
month before examinations is crowded
with dances, concerts and teas.

The Engineering Club is host to
night at an informal dance at the
Men’s Uymnsium. A special feature
of the evening is the unique effects
which the Electrical Engineers pre
pared for the occasion. The programs
are also out of the usual run and
were designed and made unuer Carl
Thomas’ direction. Abe Blackman,
Clyde I’atee, and Mason Roberts were
the committee in charge.
The patrons and patronesses are
Professor and Mrs. E. 11. McAlister,
Professor and Mrs. R. 11. Dearborn,
Professor and Mrs. E. E. DeCou, Pro
fessor and Mrs. O. F. Stafford, and
Professor 11. B. Leonard.
The Y. VV. C. A. held its annual pre
Christmas llazaar at the Presbyterian
Church, Friday afternoon and even
ing. The usual booths from which
candies, fancy-work and Christmas
novelties, cakes and jams, potted
plants and cut flowers were sold,
were presided over by University
girls who, judging from the money
taken in, proved very accomplished
saleswomen. The patronesses for the
affair were the members of the ad
visory board, each of whom was in
charge of a booth.
The Dramatic Club’s production of
'T tomboy and Son” was well attended
by the Student Body, Faculty mem
bers. and town people. A number of
the fraternities and sororities gave
theatre parties for it. The play was
enthusiastically received and much
credit is due to Mr. Keddie for his
faithful and painstaking work in pre
senting this entertaining drama of
Dickens. The cast was well chosen
and interpreted its lines with much
cleverness and originality.
Miss Klizabeth Harbison, of San
Diego, is the week-end guest of Ann
Taylor at the Cummn Phi Beta
house.

evening. A number of Alumni were
guests of the chapter for the week

will be at home in honor of their pa
tronesses Mrs. John Straub. Mrs.

What the College
Editors are Saying
|d-----—----Q
"Wl'FF. I’M A BEAU. WUFF!”
“The present dancing affair is too
well known to need further discus
sion; in fact, we feel that we do not
dare to say the things that the “hug
ging music” requires. But what
we do say is that the attack on the
so-called dancing clubs is a trifle un
fair from one standpoint. Nothing
that has so far appeared in print
mentions the fact that the same thing
goes on, intensified, at various private
parties in Madison. And where there
were chaperones, too. You ail know
that this is true. You have been at
such dances yourself.
“We were, to tell the truth, glad to
see the policeman there. If the danc
ers cannot behave themselves, THEY
SHOUD BE TREATED AS THE
DANGERS IN SAN FRANCISCO’S
NOTORIOUS BARBARY COAST.
And we want to say that we do not
consider it either ‘the thing’ or ‘classy’
or even ‘risque.’ To tell the truth,
we cannot see the difference between
these embraces and the Ten Cent
Dance.
“This is strong, we mean it to be
so. It is too bad that the University
of Wisconsin’s name should be so be
smirched by a number of unthinking
people.
"The matter has been treated with
kid gloves, glossed over. But when
the name of the university is at stake
it seems time for every one of us to
load our muzzle-loader, let out a pre
liminary howl, and sneak out into the
woods to do a little bear-shooting.
“We see a great deal-more in the
waltzing to a good musical waltz and
mixing the dancing with laughter
and an occasional good-natured bump
against one’s neighbor than we do to
this hugging in silence, casting a
pained look toward heaven—in ec
stacy.
“Get the gun!”—University of Wis
consin Daily.
WISCONSIN PAPER MAKES
NEWS REPORTING RECORD|
MADISON, Wis., Dec. 2.—The Daily ;
News, the official paper of the Uni-j
versity of Wisconsin, recently made
what is said to be a record in re
porting- news.
On the afternoon when the Badger!
eleven played the Univrsity of Minne
sota, the Daily had out an extra in
Madison, which is more than 300 miles
from the scene of the game, within
fifteen minutes after the completion
of the contest. The paper was seven
col urns wide, printed on red paper
and graphically illustrated.
The edition was out in the Univer
sity town before the Minneapolis pa
pers had a full account of the story.
