Man Hits Dummy, Lands in Jailhouse
LOS ANGELES — (UPI) — Ben Labre, 22, had an "urge to kill." He did commit murder—on a dress shop mannequin. Police arrested the Salinas, Calif., man after he smashed a glass showcase containing the dummy and ripped its arm off. They quoted Labre as saying he planned to kidnap the mannequin and "kill" it. Recently Labre turned himself in to authorities, saying he was overcome by an "urge to kill." He was sent to General Hospital for psychiatric observation, but later released. This time he was booked on suspicion of burglary.
. . . Books in Review . .
By Calder M. Pickett Associate Professor of Journalism
JUDE THE OBSCURE, by Thomas Hardy. St. Martin's Library, four shillings.
TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES, by Thomas Hardy. St. Martin's Library, four shillings.
THE MAYOR OF CASTERBRIDGE, by Thomas Hardy. St. Martin's Library, four shillings.
A Thomas Hardy jag is not for the person low in spirits. It is not what one might call typical summer reading, but I have just read these three adventures in gloom, summer or not.
Hardy belongs to the realistic-naturalistic tradition, but his books have qualities deeper than those of Zola, Norris or Dreiser. His troubled people deserve—and receive—more compassion. His characters clearly are victims of circumstance, of environment, of heritage. This latter fact makes Hardy a writer of naturalism.
But he isn't striking out at society as such; you do not get the feeling that you are reading a polemic.
"Jude the Obscure" draws great sympathy for the reader, sympathy for Jude and the other confused and forlorn people of the story. One finds himself saying, "Oh, you poor sap," or terms slightly stronger. Jude picks the worst of all possible brides, is estranged from her, and then picks the worst of all possible mistresses.
Jude is a man of deep sensibilities, and one is sad, with Jude, that he is unable to achieve what he wants from life. The reader's heart goes out in much the same way to poor unhappy "Tess of the D'Urbervilles." In this novel, Hardy puts irony into the title, for the d'Urbervilles are just the Durbeyfields, a down-and-out family that can claim aristocratic lineage.
Tess gets herself into a mess and becomes an outate. She weds an idealistic young man named Angel (ah, these names), but he learns of her past. The novel ends grimly and symbolically, after Tess, who has slain the man who did her wrong, and Angel hold a final tryst in the Stonehenge.
Of the three novels, "The Mayor of Casterbridge" is weakest. It is absorbing but it is incredibly contrived. The characters themselves are believable, except for a two-sweet ingenuue. But Hardy manipulates them like puppets, or chessmen.
One finds it difficult to dislike Henchard, the mayor, even though he does start off the story by selling his wife. It is easier to dislike Farfrae, the too-heroic Scotsman who proves Henchard's undoing. But no matter what one's reaction may be, he will be carried along in this novel, as in the others.
THE MATING CALL, by Fred Bodsworth. Pocket Books, 35 cents.
Originally titled "The Strange One," this is a good book that uses nature to provide a parallel with the lives of its central characters. Birds are compared and contrasted with man as a young biologist falls in love with an Indian girl. He meanwhile is studying geese for the Canadian government, and runs across a Scottish goose lost in a hurricane. He watches its mating with a Canadian goose, and notes the difficulty of mixing different breeds—a difficulty which the author suggests also may be encountered among people themselves.
KU Senior Wins Trip to Italy
Virginia McCready, Topeka senior, has been awarded a trip to Italy as first prize in an essay contest on "Italy Today: From the Ruins of World War II to Her Accomplishments in the Various Fields of Human Endeavour."
The contest was sponsored by the government of Italy in recognition of the fact that this year is the centennial of the admission of Kansas to the union and of the unification of Italy. Each college and university in the state was invited to enter two essays on the subject, and the "Istituto Italiano di Cultura" in New York selected two winners from the essays submitted.
The trip will be made early in October. The students will visit Rome and other cities, including Turin, center of Italy's centennial celebration.
Thief Travels First Class
TOKYO — (UPI) — Snobbish thief Fusaichi Chikauchi, who confessed to stealing 8 million yen ($22,000) in 85 burglaries, told police he did not bother with ordinary people but only burglarized homes of "distinguished men."
