PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Sunday, October 27, 1918 THE DAILY IOWAN The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa MEMBER IOWA COLLEGE PRESS A morning paper published for the period of the war three times a week--Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday--by The Daily Iowan Publishing company at 103 Iowa avenue, Iowa City Entered as second class matter at the post office of Iowa City, Iowa Subscription Rate $2.00 per year EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-chief Mildred E. Whitcomb Telephone Black 1757 Office Hours--8 to 12; 1 to 6 daily, Room 14, L. A. building. Managing editor Rowena Wellman News Editor--Agnes Kingsbury Humorous Editor--Elizabeth Hendee Exchange Editor--Ethyn Williams Feature Editor--Ruth Stewart Sporting Editor G. W. Evans BUSINESS STAFF Romola Latchem--Buesiness Manager Telephone 935 Office Hours--daily, 103 Iowa Avenue "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came."--Lincoln. SITTING TIGHT Now, more than ever since the beginning of the great world war, the old catchword of 1914--"Sit tight; don't rock the boat"--may be urged upon citizens of the United States. On the western front our allied armies are penetrating the German lines with amazing velocity. Daily rumors are scattered of the abolishment of junkerism in Germany, of the downfall of the kaiser and the triumph of democracy over militarism. "An armistice is agreed upon." "The boys will be home by Christmas," an optimist declares. But a long, hard road lies before us, a road full of German pitfalls, German lures. Let us be firm in our purpose--no peace without victory. That those who have died may not have died in vain, let us dedicate ourselves to greater concentration, to greater[[?]] strength and determination. "OUTDOOR WOMEN" Two women of the far west are aspirants for the United States senate. A newspaper, in telling of their qualifications and characteristics, lays special emphasis upon the fact that they are outdoor women. By "outdoor women" one does not mean the girl with a skin tanned to a leather-like quality, hair knotted in a tight little bun, and a masculine walk and manner. It means a self-reliant woman, graceful, full of reserve force and strength; a woman who can hold her own among others. The day of the Jane Austin heroine has gone. Too long has "the clinging vine," with her frailty, her tendency to "swoon" has ruled our thoughts. The modern woman has other ideals and aspirations than to be thought merely "sweet" or "a dear little thing." Her characteristics are positive, rather than negative. The munitions worker, the yeomanette, the "tommywaac" of Great Britain, the canteen worker are examples of this new womanhood. They go out into the world to take the place of man; they do it willingly, proudly. They do not faint or falter as they face the terrible realities of life on the battle field. BUt, on the other hand ,they do not become any less feminine, less womanly. For the modern woman is a queer mixture of feminity--she has feminine sympathy and tact,--but she has also a new quality of self-reliancy, and of sturdy purpose. This would be impossible were it not that she has strength and vigor. "A sane mind in a sane body," is one of the ideals of the modern women. Let the University women not forget, as they pore over their books or gracefully fox trot, that their health is a prime factor in their success. Let the long strip of yellow road, winding among the hills, lure then into the great outdoors, to follow the trail that leads to health, to strength, and to that power that physical strength adds to mental ability. [2nd column] TRY THIS SCHEME Preparedness is the motto of one University girl who has written her address and pasted a two cent stamp on the back of her pass. If yours is worth mailing to you in case of loss, you might as well follow her example. If your pass is very worn, it could be pasted on a U.S. postal card. WHAT OTHERS THINK The Daily Iowan will gladly print any communications from students or faculty members. The writer must sign the article to show his good faith in sending it, but no name will be printed if the sender so designates. To The Editor:-- Altho I am a citizen and not a student, I feel inclined to express an opinion through these columns because of something that has come to my notice. A few days ago, I overheard some girls, all well-known on the campus, discussing the matter of serving refreshments at their weekly gathering, and to my amazement, this plan received their hearty endorsal. I had been told that girls were eating down town between meals with the same frequency as in pre-war times, but this I had hardly credited; it seemed too selfish to be countenanced--then to learn that different organizations were then deliberately adopting a plan which would be in violation of the request--not command--to have three meals a day only. As an older person, it seems to me that it is not a matter of saving the few cents apiece that would be spent in this way. The point is-- this is one of the few opportunities for the girls themselves to do a little of the sacrificing. What evidence of patriotism is it for girls to buy Liberty bonds and War Savings stamps with the money which their fathers are sending? This is a time for each individual to show the spirit of sacrifice. A Citizen. B. I. F. F. "With Malice toward All and Charity for None." WEAKLY SLAM Again we cannot forbear mentioning our cover. This time we wish to impress upon all our feminine readers its striking suitability as a decoration for one of the paper bags so much used as receptacles for knitting, note-books, powder puffs, and all other implements of scholastic life. CARTOONS What A Sentry Thinks About 1. I never supposed these guns was so heavy. Wonder how old Rover gets along at home without me and the shot-gun to take him hunting. I suppose Sis feeds him all right, but he'll miss the hikes. Wonder how everything looks 'round the place, anyway? 'But the same. I s'ppose, tho, it seems long enough to change things considerable. 2. Here comes somebody--a prof. I guess. What's the use of lookin' at every pass, anyway? Especially the Profs. Anybody could tell to look at this gink that he's on the fac. Well, here comes a dame. What makes her grin at me like that? I ain't a party--not by a long shot, nor likely to be, either. Anybody countin' on me for the society stunt is, goin' to suffer disappointment, if Im any judge of what the officers expect us fellows to spend our time at. 3. Say, I might be practising French while I'm at this. O shucks, here comes somebody. Say, s'posin somebody didn't show a pass and just wouldn't stop, wonder what a fella'd do? I couldn't fire this thingamajig if I had to, unless I had a shot at the fellow who says that we get so much floosy grub. What if a German should come, and what if he [3rd column] hadn't any pass nor anything, and-- Gosh! Here comes a Lieut. One-- two--three! Serial Story "Cecil of the S. A. T. C." Part II. Chapter 2. Months have passed since the fateful day when our hero, Cecil Sassafras of Crumberg's Ice Cream and Shoe Shine Emporium, read the news of America's entrance into the war. Twice Cecil tried to enlist, but he was found to be too young and too much over weight. Hence he labored faithfully, handing out ice cream and pop with the calm realization that it is the duty of those at home to keep up the morale of the nation. As the autumn of 1918 approached, bringing with it Cecil's eighteenth birthday, those who knew him could observe in his demeanor a notable restlessness. Twice was his mother startled when in his absentmindedness he split more kindling than she asked for; and Mr. Crumberg noticed that he often llet whole hours pass without eating more than one sundae. In October the fruit of Cecil's thinking was seen, for he might have been found in a five-dollar-a-look hotel room in Blank City, ready to become one of the valiant S. A. T. C. Many things surprised and shocked him. In the very room with him were six other soldiers-to-be, whom he found to be all that his mother had feared the army would mean. Long reckless hours they spent at showdown and matching pennies. and the gains from this sport they spent for chocolate bar and peanuts. Anxiously he waited for the time when he could be in barracks, where earnest officers would put a stop to thinks that should not be. Chatper 3. At a window in the girls' dormitory sat Gracie Featherbean, sophomore and leading member of the Hada Rekka Mend sorority. Pensively she gazed across the street at the X. Y. Z. house, now a home for girls; sadly she thought of all the other frat houses, and how pathetically they had been emptied to fill the homely barracks. "Ah me." she sighed, "what is there left?" Long she sat and munched chocolates and mused, but when she arose at last it was with a heart full of resolutions. She would go in for patriotism this year; she would impress upon her sorority sisters the necessity for giving soldier boys the relief of the sound of a woman's voice and the sight of a woman's smile ;she would show that college girls can and will keep the home fires burning even while they prepare to help int he great reconstruction to come after the war! Int he meantime she must change from street clothes to dinner dress, and hurry to the Hada Rekka house to help sort over freshmen and recommendations. Hastily sh eremoved her beaded pink georgette waist and donned her dainty pink embroidered one, powdered her nose, adjusted her hat ,and hurried away, full of plans for a unique series of menus on sorority nights. (To be continued) COLUMN WRITE RECEPTION IN DOUBT The date of the President's reception to freshman students is as yet a question. The general unsettled state of University affairs is causing some delay. As soon as conditions are normal, President and Mrs. Jessup plan both student and faculty receptions. Mrs. Jessup, however, is Freshman and sophomore womens' gymnasium classes of Knox college are having military drill this year under Dr. Lucius Elder, who completed a military course at F. Sheridan this summer. The young women will receive practical military drills which are given infantrymen.
