The Daily Iowan  The student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa  Vol. VXIII---New Series Vol. III  Iowa City, Iowa, Trursday, September 28, 1918  Number 2  Iowa Gets First Naval Section of S.A.T.C. In State  Many Applicants for Naval Unit Appear---Half of Strength Must Be Engineers  Five Naval Ofgicers To Recruit  Are Taking Upperclassmen Before Freshman---Physical Examination Is Rigid  One hundred bluejackets will add color to the olive drab ranks that are to transform the University of Iowa into a training camp for war this year. The first naval section of the S.A.T.C. in Iowa has just been granted to the University. Seventy-five other institutions of higher education throughout the country will also have navy boys.  Half of the authorized strength of the University unit must be engineers. The greatest demand on the colleges, say advices from Washington, will be the production of sufficient engineer officers to meet the demands of the service. With 225 freshmen already enrolled in the engineering college, the University will have no difficulty in filling the engineering strength of the unit. Any man of draft age is eligible, if he is qualified to enter the University. Applications are to be considered in the order filed.  Get Higher Pay  As with the army section of the S.A.T.C., October 1 is the date set for the men to be inducted into the naval reserve force as apprentice seamen. Naval reservists are placed on active duty pay, $32.60, and are allowed a sufficient sum for lodging, subsistence, and tuition. They will wear the uniform of their rating in the navy.  Two years of work in the engineering college will qualify a man to enter the officer-material school, naval auxiliary reserve, but he must pass a competitive examination before he is admitted. A sophomore in the engineering course will probably be able to complete his college work in eighteen months, a junior in twelve, and a senior in six.  Course on Deck Duties  After this definite period of training in the University, the members of the naval section of the S.A.T.C. will be transferred to an officer-material school, a pay officers material or trade school, or be assigned to sea for general service. Officer-material schools include deck officers, paymasters, engineer, aviation, and signal officers schools. Suitable material for aviation officers is great demand, the inspector of recruiting informs the University.  A special intensive course for deck duties will be laid out covering four three-months periods at the University. This course will prepare reservists for competitive examinations for entry in various officer-material schools and will be based upon the Naval Academy course.  Enrolling Officers Here  The University has already about 30 students who are enlisted in the navy, eight of these being medical students, some dental, and the rest engineers.  The enrolling officers who have [been?] sent to the University are: George E.. Ketterer  (continued on page 4)  Currier Hall Has New Preceptress  A new preceptress, Sara McBride, has been appointed for Currier Hall, the women's dormitory. She will assume the duties of [M]iss Anna M. Klingenhagen, former dean of women as chaperon.  Miss McBride is a graduate of the University of Iowa in 1906. She has also studied at the Iowa State Teachers College and the University of Chicago. For the past few years she has ben a teacher in the East Des Moines high school.  Elinor Enright, the new house director of Currier Hall, will also act as chaperon. She will supervise the dining rooms of each of the fraternity houses to be used as dormitories for freshman women.  October 1 To Be Observed At Iowa  Simultaneous Exercises To Be Held at Organization of S. A. T. C. in 500 Colleges  At the same hour on October 1, more than 500 colleges and universities over the United States will assemble the men of their S.A.T.C. units for a national observance of the day. The University will take part in this demonstration. The band will play the national anthem as the flag is raised and Chief Trumpter Maier will sound "To the Color."  The entire command of the S.A.T.C. at the University, as will be done simultaneously at all other colleges having units, will repeat in unison the oath of allegiance to the flag after the commanding officer, Ctptain George W. Robertson. Other messages from the secretary of war and federal officials may also be read. Men will stand at attention during the oath of allegiance and the messages from the federal administration.  It is probable that the president of the University will address the newly inducted army men and that they will pass in review before the bleachers on Iowa Field. Arrangements, however, are only tentative. In the east these exercises will begin at noon, in the middle west at 11, in the Rockies at 10, and on the Pacific coast at 9. Whether or not these men have been inducted, into the service they will take part in this observation, providing they have indicated their intention to enter the corps.  The oath of allegiance which will be taken by two or three thousand men Tuesday morning at the University is: "I pledge allegiance to my flag and the Republic for which it stands; one nation, indivisible with Liberty and Justice for all."  Notice To Subscribers  Owing to the shortage of trained workers and the high cost of printing and paper, the board of trustees of The Daily Iowan has decided temporarily as a war measure to issue only three copies each week. The price of subscription has been correspondingly reduced. All of the news of the week will be condensed in these issues which will appear on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.  Freshman Women Asked To Stay In Frat Houses  University of Iowa Takes Control of Fraternity Houses for Girls' Dormitories  To Have Central Dining Rooms  Rooms Will Not All Be Ready for Use Until Last of Week---Chaperones Appointed  Freshman girls at the University will be assigned to fraternity houses that have been taken over by the University for use as dormitories. All first year women are expected to live either at Currier Hall, the regular dormitory, or at one of these houses unless permitted, for some special cause, to room in private homes.  Final arrangements have been made with the owners of thirteen fraternity houses, and others are expected to offer theirs. This extension of the dormitory system at the University, which has been contemplated for some time, was hastened by the transformation of the institution into a military camp.  Each house will be run after the plan of Currier Hall, and the dean of women has selected responsible chaperones for each. Meals will be served at central dining rooms, all under the supervision of Elinor Enright, the new house director of Currier Hall. It is probable that one or more of the houses will be run on a co-operative housekeeping basis.  The precise number of houses to be taken under the University control has not been determined and will depend on the number of freshman women who will enroll. Inspection of the equipment of the homes is now being made by the dean of women, and prices of rooms listed. In each house there will be rooms of varying costs to comply with the means of each student.  Many Vacancies on Iowan Staff  Big Field for Women Is Opening in Journalistic Work.  Vacancies in the regular Iowan staff will give a large number of students opportunities to get newspaper experience and in case of their registration in one of the courses in journalism, University credit will be granted.  Of last year's staff the editor, sports editor and one of the associate editors are in the army. A score or more places are open in the reportorial staff. For the first time in the history of The Daily Iowan the chief place on the student newspaper will go to a woman.  Because of the present demand for women newspaper workers many University women are considering journalism this year. Of last year's graduates in journalism no woman is without a position and because of the scarcity of trained workers the demand of papers in this section could not be met.  Instruction in reporting, editing, copyreading, editorial writing, and special feature writing is being offered under the direction of the department of English.  French College Girl Reaches University  Just one French girl, Jeanne Terraz, reached the University of Iowa to finish her education at an American college. When it came time to leave the home back in France. Renee Galland's mother decided she could not give up her daughter. The Woman's League at the University is greatly disappointed because only one girl arrived last Sunday morning.  Miss Terraz has already made herself quite popular at the institution. University girls have found her versatile and interesting to an unusual degree. She is living at a small annext to Currier Hall, the women's dormitory, under the tutelage of Miss Lucille Franchere, a French instructor on the faculty. Her English is said to be excellent.  Sororities Have Busy Rush Week  Preferred Dates are "Stuffed" With Good Things to Eat and Lots of Fun  "Rush week" this year is exclusively for ladies, for the men of the campus are far more concerned about the imposing brotherhood of the S.A..T.C. than about any Greek letters. But the girls are all aflutter with the excitement of breakfasts and teas and dinner dances.  In accordance with the decision of the Pan-Hellenic council each sorority has been assigned a preferred date.  A patriotic luncheon will be given by the Alpha Delta Pi's Thursday afternoon and a "black and white" dance has been arranged for Saturday night.  The Alpha Chi Omega sorority will entertain at a tea Thursday afternoon. The Achoths, too, will give a tea on Thursday and will follow it with a "harvest" party Friday. Their formal breakfast will be Saturday morning.  An evening party at the chapter house will be given by the Delta Gamma's Thursday night. Kappa Kappa Gamma will entertain at breakfast Friday morning. Alpha Theta girls have planned a "Rainbow" luncheon for Saturday noon.  A bonnet party Friday night and a camouflage tea for Saturday afternoon are the more alluring than enlightening titles which the Pi Beta Phi's have announced as their entertainment for the freshman girls.  The following rules formulated by the Women's Pan-Hellenic council are observed by all the sororities:  Each sorority is to have a preferred date for entertaining, and pledging will take place on the day before the opening day of school.  Pledges are not allowed to wear pledge ribbons and they are forbidden to receive any flowers. Sorority girls are not to take rushes to register or to invite rushes to spend the night with them or at their home.  All Congregational students and their friends are invited to an "open house," Saturday night at the Conference House, 128 North Clinton street, at 7:30 o'clock. The social committee of the Congregational Guild will have charge. Rev. and Mrs. Schafer, will be glad to meet all students of their church. The Conference House if open at all times, and its rooms are at the young people.  Varsity Whipping Into Good Form To Meet The Jackies  Seven Veterans Have Returned And Last Year's Freshmen Are Showing Up Well  Sailors To Pick From Many Stars  Great Lakes Men Have Been in Training for Two Months Iowa Only Two Weeks  With seven veterans of last year's varsity eleven in the line up, Captain Reed, Lohman, Block, Greenwood, Hunzelman, Scott, and Voege, and with Frank Slater, the giant negro tackle from Clinton, and Rich and Kelley, backfield stars of last year's freshmen also there, the sailor eleven from the Great Lakes will find it necessary to set forth in full sail in order to make port behind Iowa's goal posts.  The Iowa squad has been out for only two weeks. They have practiced twice daily and have undergone four stiff scrimmages.  Dope Looks Cheery  Captain Reed is grabbing forward passes with hardly ever a miss, aided by the admirable passing of Lohman who has been shifted from half to fullback. White and Everett Smith are running a merry race for Slater, Hunzelman, and Greenwood the other end positions and between the tackle positions will be taken care of.  Block guard and center of last year, and Mockmore are the most likely candidates for guards. Foster and Heldt are both showing up well at center.  Rich, who as halfback on the freshmen team last year tore through varsity line for long gains has not suffered by his transfer to the varsity eleven and is probably the fastest and shiftiest on the Iowa squad. Kelly seems to be a fixture in the most important position of quarterback, and he pilots the team with the same ease in which he directed the freshmen. Scott and Voege are playing on the first string as halfbacks.  Sailors Have Stars  Coach Olcott has been training his Great Lakes men since early in August and the full month's start of the bluejackets will handicap seriously Iowa and the other conference teams which they will meet this fall. Special barracks have been provided for the station football squad and specially supervised meals are served them under the watchful eye of Coach Olcott.  In the string of 150 men who are out for the Great Lakes team are to be found stars from nearly every state in the Union.  Jimmy Conzelman, quarterback, and Harold Erickson, halfback were members of last year's team. Other men are Chief Yeoman, Bill McClellan, formerly of West Virginia Wesleyan; Foley of Blackburn and Chapick, quarterback of last year's Illinois team; Hary Eilsen, last year's freshman captain at Northwestern; Willaman, Ohio State's fullback for two years; Dobson, fullback and captain-elect of the Nebraska team this year; Simpson, former Cornell captain; Mendenhall of the University of Iowa; Abrahamson of Lawrence; Jerry Jones and Keefe, both former Notre Dame men, and Young, Carnegie Tech center last year.
