Organization Men To Take Oath Of Allegiance Celebration Will Take Place on Campus West of Liberal Arts Building For a single hour, 10:30 to 11:30, today, the machinery of the University will stop, and Iowa simultaneously with 500 American colleges will pause to celebrate the greatest innovation of the century in institutions of higher learning. S.A.T.C. men including those who expect to be in the corps will assemble at 10:30 east of the Physics Hall and there on the prettiest spot of the campus the stars and stripes will be run up a white pole, while the cadet band plays the national anthem and more than two thousand student soldiers stand at attention. Will Swear Allegiance At this time, S.A.T.C. men will take the oath of allegiance to the flag repeating after the commandant, Capt George W. Robertson these words: "I pledge allegiance to my flag and the Republic for which it stands; one nation, indivisible with Liberty and Justice for all." 1. S.A.T.C. and others assemble. 2. Band: Patriotic Air 3. Flag Raising Star Spangled Banner: S.U.I. Band 4. Oath of Allegiance by S.A.T.C. Commandant leading 5. Reading Orders of the Day: Adjutant or Commandant. 6.

All members of the faculty and students will be present. Officers At Kappa Sig House At the conclusion of the exercises the first official count of the men in the S.A.T.C. will be made. All men will be checked off. During the day yesterday, S.A.T.C. men were assigned to their barracks, and the first meal was served this morning in the mess hall at the University armory. The officers of the University commands have rented the Kappa Sigma house on Dubuque street and are fitting it up for their quarters. Stefannson, Explorer To Visit University Vilhjamr Stefannson, famous arctic explorer and alumnus of the University, is on his way to this country and has been invited to stop at the University on his way east. Dr. Henry Albert received a telegram from Stefannson sent from Ketchikan, Alaska. Stefannson discovered the "blonde eskimos" in the artic regions, a heretofore unknown race supposedly descended from a lost tribe of Norwegians. He has made three or four trips to the far north and has been reported dead a number of times. He has been on this latest trip for four years. Iota Xi Epsilon sorority at 120 N. Dubuque announces its organization. An Open Letter I advise students and instructors of the University to subscribe for The Daily Iowan. The Iowan is a University publication and in this critical year it not only will contain the news which every member of the University should know, but it will be made the regular medium for official notices.

Private Deserts From University Vocational Unit Captured at Lone Tree After Student Soldiers Give Hot Chase Is Now Awaiting Court Martial Escape From Armory Made Through Forging of Military Pass Private Ben F. Jones of Green Bay, Wisconsin, attached to army vocational school of the University escaped from the guard house in the University armory Sunday and was captured three hours later in the vicinity of Lone Tree. He is held on the charge of desertion and is awaiting court martial. The young soldier is said to have had some trouble with an officer and was held under guard. He had some blank passes and forged a pass from his superior officer. The escape was discovered at once and search begun. Capt Robertson was notified. Details were stationed on all roads leading from the city. All automobiles were stopped and railroad statians were carefully guarded. Telephone calls were sent to nearby towns. Shortly after 9 o'clock word came from Lone Tree that a soldier answering Jones' description was in that neighborhood. A detail was sent to Lone Tree and the deserter was brought back to the city. The penalty for desertion is serious and in case the officers chose to deal severely with Jones, it is likely he would be sent to the federal penitentiary. All old members of the Girls' Glee Club are asked to report some time today at the office of the school of music in the Dey building above the University book store. Urge Girls To Take Course Women students are urged by the faculty not to overlook the importance of Was Issues, the biggest single course ever offered at the institution. More than forty instructors will collaborate to give the lectures scheduled. Since the government has considered it of sufficient importance to require it as a part of the curriculum of every man in the S.A.T.C, University officials feel no hesitancy in urging every woman to register for the work. Many Applications For Naval Section Of The S. A. T. C. Eighty-two Passed the Physical Examination---a Number of Freshmen Eligible Upper Classmen are preferred Regular Barracks Are in Women's Gymnasium for the Present Officers of the Naval recruiting office of the S.A.T.C. in the Women's Gymnasium, report that eighty- two of the hundred men required have made application and passed the physical examination. Sixty- five of these have been definitely accepted, and seventeen are classified as eligible. All of these sixty-five are upperclassmen, thirty-eight of them from the college of applied science, and twenty-seven from the college of liberal arts. The list of eligible freshmen who may be accepted includes twenty-seven engineers and four liberal arts men. Many more men than can be accepted in the University's quota have applied for admission, but the unusually rigid physical examination has greatly reduced the number. Lieut. Ketterer says that the Navy section of the S.A.T.C. pre- (continued on page 4) Hawkeyes Begin Practice For Game With Cornhuskers Large squad Takes Field For Practice After Great Lakes Battle New High School Stars Report Team in Fine Shape for Nebraska Battle---Sykes and Belding Look Promising Nearly three full teams trotted out on Iowa Field last night for the first drill after Saturday's combat. Although the sailors' game ended in a defeat for Iowa, the entire squad entered into the work with a spirit and pep that marked their play in the initial battle. Several new and promising linemen appeared for practice yesterday and all ran signals with some team or other. The varsity line saw Greenwood, Reed, Belding, Block, Slater, Hunzelman, and Smith as a forward wall. These men ran signals with the backfield of Kelly, Scott, Sykes and Meadows finding weak spots. Other very good varsity men who worked out last night were Voege, Lohman, and Scanlon. Iowa's line looked to be a real one, according to dopesters as several high school stars appeared promising in their first try. Belding of Mason City and Sykes of Emmetsburg, in particular. War conditions seemed to bring out a vast quantity of good material, cheerful fact to Coach Jones as he had been woefully shy in earlier practices on athletes. Sykes, Berrien, Justin, Worth, Meadows, and Belding put in their appearance at yesterday's practice. Nearly every candidate of prominence on the line appeared to weigh at least 175. Coach Jones believes he has a faster line than he has had for may seasons. With a line squad of twenty men to pick from, the Varsity ought to make considerable showing among the Big Ten teams. The ever growing squad of half backs indicates that there will be a merry race for positions in the Hawkeye backfield. Coach Jones assures every man a fair trial. War Issues Course Is Now Outlined A course of "War Issues" has been outlined at the University by Prof. C. H. Weller, chairman of the committee, and others, as follows: 1. Immediate causes of the war. 2. Responsibility for the war; diplomacy of 1914. 3. Economic and commercial rivalry. 4. Pan-Germanism and world domination. 5. German theory of the state and of war. 6. Russia and the Orient. 7. Why America entered the war. 8. Mobilization of American resources. 9. American democracy and ideals. 10. Our allies---what they bring us and we them. 11. Peace terms of Central Powers and of Allies. The period will be from Oct. 7 to Dec. 21. Adelaide Nash, Kappa Kappa Gamma who attended Minnesota University last year is enrolled here again.
