LAW COURSES OPEN TO SOLDIERS War Department Revise Early Plans to Include Law A new course in law will be offered to members of the S.A.T.C. at the University. Up until last week it was not known that students could could continue their law studies and be a part of the S.A.T.C. unit. The new course provides for the study military and international law by all law students. Every student must also take a three-hour course on "war aims" and the regular theoretical and practical military study. Aside from the requirements, regular law subjects ma be pursued as usual, but there will e thirty-four hours a week of supervised study. A manual of courts martial will be used for the first quarter of the year and a special course book is being prepared for the second quarter. The curriculum for the entire year will be laid out on the quadrimaster plan. A special committee at Washington is making up the complete program, which is to be ready in a few days. The law faculty at the University is making arrangements to have its program conform with the plans of the government. Lieutenant Reynolds, head of the work in journalism at the University, is now on General Pershing's staff in charge of the intelligence work. OFFERS WAR COURSES FOR WOMEN S.U.I. Will Prepare Women for Civil Service Positions For college women who wish to serve the nation in statistical and secretarial work, special war courses are being planned at the University of Iowa. It is expected by Prof. E.E. Lewis, who heads the war activities work for women that the University will be designated by the U.S. civil service commission as a recognized training center. This would enable students who passed the work successfully to be accepted for government positions without further examination. Courses offered will prepare women as clerks qualified in statistics, in business administration, and as schedule clerks. An intensive three months' course is being arranged for women who are proficient in stenography and typewriting and have had elementary business experience extending over a one-year period. Six and nine months' courses will be offered student not qualified as stenographers or typists and who wish to combine the study of those subjects with thorough secretarial training in English, office and government organization, and statistics. The bulk of this work will be offered in the liberal arts college. High school graduates are eligible to take it. In addition to these new courses in war work, properly qualified persons may pursue stenography, typewriting, and bookkeeping in classes already organized in the University observational high school. Such courses do not yield college credit. An operating table use in all the cantonments of the United States and in the American hospitals in France has been invented by Dean L.W. Dean of the college of medicine of the University of Iowa. The table is the one used in the University hospital and due to certain technical advantages it possesses over other tables, it was taken over by the government. 2,000 MECHANICS TO TRAIN AT UNIVERSITY Government Sending Many Soldiers Here for Special Work in Engineering College Each month in the school year soldiers will receive mechanical training in the college of applied science at the University. During this period 900 telephone electricians will receive a three months course of training, and more than 1000 soldiers will receive instruction as auto mechanics, pipe fitters, and radio operators. Since early in June two increments of mechanics have been trained in the engineering shops as auto drivers, blacksmiths, radio operators, and concrete workers. In the winter months the concrete work will be abandoned. Government officials deciding that the University was particularly well fitted to train a large number of telephone electricians, will detail soldiers here from all parts of the country. One hundred of them are already here in training, 100 will come the first of October, and 100 November 1. Three hundred will then be kept at the University continuously, 100 leaving each month a new increment replacing them until the 900 have completed their work. The policy of the government is to limit the number of soldiers assigned to educational institutions to about 500. The men at the University are houses in the Willard Welch building on Iowa avenue, the armory, and Close Hall. The main floors of the armory will be abandoned in the S.A.T.C. men, but some of the larger exercise rooms may be used to house them, LOUIS SCHUMP BAGGAGE PHONE 360 THOMAS' HARDWARE Razors, Shears and Knives SHARPENED WHILE YOU WAIT We sharpen and sell all kinds of Razor Blades We sell all kinds of Shears and Cutlery-Everything in the first class Hardware-Call THOMAS' HARDWARE The large one 6 & 8 Dubuque St. Drop into the OPERA CONFECTIONERY FOR REFRESHMENTS 221 EAST WASHINGTON DVORAK & O'HARA Jewelers Wrist watches for the soldiers.
