The Daily Iowan The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa VOL. VXIII -- NEW SERIES VOL. III IOWA CITY, IOWA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1918 NUMBER 26 UNIVERSITY WILL DROP WAR COURSES AT END OF TERM [bold] Institution To Be Placed On Peace Basis, According to Latest Information [bold] TO AFFECT S. A. T. C. MEN [bold] Expect Orders From War Department To Change Conditions Here Before New Quarter [bold] War courses will be dropped and the University will be placed on a partial peace basis at the beginning of the second quarter, according to information from the office G. F. Kay, dean of the college of liberal arts. How extensive the changes will be especially as they effect the military training of the University, is still a question. Reports of the conditions in colleges are now before the War Department and sweeping changes are likely to be announced within the next two weeks. Release S. A. T. C. Men [bold] Newton D. Baker, secretary of war, has announced that students will be given release whenever possible. He states that measures may be adopted to allow the release of such members of the S. A. T. C. who desire an immediate return to civil life, or who wish to continue their school work in purely academic courses. In any college or University where the student body is large enough to resume studies on a pre-war basis, its obligationto the War Department will in all probability, be cancelled. No definite news from the War Department, however, has been received at military headquarters here. Iowa First To Respond [bold] When the government sent out a call to the colleges and universities Iowa was one of the first to respond. All previous plans for the year were changed to meet new conditions. The University was transformed into a military school. Now that there is no great need for this service, the S. A. T. C. will be adapted to fit in with times of peace. The new ruling will not affect war aims, which is practical course for both men and women, and will be continued. UNIVERSITY LIBRARY HAS NEW WAR BOOKS [bold] There are several good books at the University library which deal with different phases of the war. They are new books here and many are also newly published. Some of the most interesting are "Blown in by the Draft" by Frazzier [cut off]unt; "The A. E. F." by Heywood [cut off]oun; "Don'ts for U. S. Soldiers" by H. Irving Hancock, "The War [cut off]gle" by W. J. Dawson, and "German Plans for the Next War" by J. W. Gardner. THANKSGIVING VACATION BRIEF [bold] Thanksgiving vacation, this year, will be a brief holiday. Because of the amount of time lost, and in the late start of the University, and in the recent epidemic, the War department asks that the authorities do not grant Friday as a vacation day. Therefore the only holiday next week will be Thursday, Thanksgiving day. The order will probably keep the greater number of students in Iowa City for their turkey dinner. K. C. HUT IS NOW OPEN AT 115 SOUTH CLINTON [bold] The K. C. hut is now open at 115 South Clinton, with F. T. McGill, law '16, in charge. Since this is within the campus zone men may go there without a pass. According to the secretary, everybody is welcome. Mr. McGill spent last year at Camp Dodge as K. C. secretary. Previous to that he practiced law at Fort Dodge. One of the first social events to be given is a dance under the auspices of the daughters of Isabella at the K. C. Hall in the Crescent building on College street Saturday night. Tickets for the dance may be procured free of charge at the K. C. hut as long as the supply lasts. "First come, first served" must be the motto, as the number of tickets is limited. TEACH TYPEWRITING TO VICTROLA MUSIC [bold] Talking Machines Are Used as an Aid in Instruction at the University High School [bold] The fox-trot has its place in the classroom, and eighty students in the war course in typewriting take daily finger exercises on their machines in time to "Smiles", or some other selection popular or classical. A regular touch is obtained and speed is gained by practicing on the typewriter to victrola music, instructors in typing at the University high school declare. As in the army, it found that music lessens fatigue, and students can practice much longer when they have frequent periods of work with music. The irritating clatter of typewriters changes to something quite musical when eighty keys come down in unison with the notes of Sousa's band on the phonograph. Typewriting students are enthusiastic about the music. Good use of talking machines is also made at the University high school in the teaching of music, and definite periods are given over for the pupils to listen to standard works of great musicians. In the classroom in English, the incidental music to Shakespeare's plays is given with each drama studied. Records of famous soliloquies or speeches, as given by great actors, are played to help the students in reading the parts expressively and in creating the atmosphere of the play. Students in the school of music listen to phonograph records of their own voices, and are shown their mistakes and weaknesses in this manner. NOTABLE SPEAKERS ARE CHOSEN FOR CAMPAIGN [bold] President Walter A. Jessup and the Hon. Martin J. Wade are two of the speakers in the state, chosen in Iowa's War Savings Stamp campaign which is to be held during the week of November 24 to 30. The campaign is under the direction of Carl F. Kuehnle of Dennison, a graduate of the University, who received his Ph. B. degree here in 1881 and B. A. degree in 1884. Five teams of five speakers each are to make tours of all the important towns and cities of the state to induce the people to buy the remainder of this state's quota of stamps. BYOIR WILL ATTEND PEACE CONFERENCE TO BE HELD SOON [bold] Appointment Due To Excellent Service In Department Of Public Information [bold] GETS B. A. DEGREE IN 1910 [bold] Prominent In Social And Fraternal Circles And Won High Honors In Debate [bold] Carl Robert Byoir, class 1910 of the college of liberal arts in this university will attend the peace conference which will be held in France soon. His appointment is the result of his excellent service in the department under George Creel, head of the committee on public information. The news of his appointment was told to his sister, Mrs. Mose Jacobs of Des Moines, Saturday. Mr. Byoir graduated from West Des Moines high school in 1905 and came to the university the following year. He registered in the college of liberal arts, taking English as his major. In 1909 he took the combined course in liberal arts and law, and got his B. A. degree in 1910. While in the university Mr. Byoir was prominent in social and fratermal circles, and won high honors in debating and oratory. He was a member of the Delta Sigma Rho, the Irving literary society, and president of the Delphian Club. After obtaining his B. A. degree, Mr. Byoir went to Des Moines, his home town, and engaged in newspaper work. Later he went to the east and became the head of the advertising department of the Hearst magazine. When the war with the German imperial government broke out, he have up his high salaried position for the Hearst magazine and accepted a less renumerative work in the department of George Creel. Although Mr. Byoir is only thirty years old, to him belongs the honor to be the only Des Moines man and possibly the only alumnus to go to the peace conference.

SORORITY CHAPERONES ARE ENTERTAINED [bold] Last night, Dean Aurner entertained the chaperones of sorority and other houses where six or more women are living, the faculty women's advisory council, and other women particularly interested in University women. After dinner, questions relating to the general welfare of the women students were discussed. The faculty advisory council consisting of: Jane Roberts, head librarian, Dr. Mabel Williams of the psychology department, Dr. Amy Daniels, of the Child Welfare department, Helen Donovan, instructor in home economics, and Ellen Geyer, of the English department were elected by the women of the faculty to advise with Dean Aurner whenever she wishes. HAWKEYE POSITIONS HOLD ATTRACTIONS [bold] Securing of Early Contracts Make Possible a Profitable Publication for 1918 [bold] If energetic juniors are to timid to make application for the positions of editor-in-chief and business manager of the 1920 annual, they have their "best friend" report for them. All the friend needs to do is tap once at Dr. Weller's office door, step in, say in a whisper or in a loud voice, "Miss or Mr. So-and So would make a good editor, I think" and right about face out again. Then the fortunate person will be looked up to by freshman, remarked at by sophomores, and courted by seniors and rushed by every organization on the campus. Is that all? I should say not. He will receive just as much over $200 as is cleared over and above the expenses. So far there are only three applicants. Here is a chance indeed, to make the home town proud. Professor Weller, who has been for a good many years, in the thick of Hawkeye publications says that there never has been a more promising year for the Junior annual. Contracts were made for engraving, last spring before the high prices took effect. The selling is always just a matter of pushing the books over the counter, because once printed, they certainly go like hot cakes. Applications can be made all week. Persons especially interested have expressed the hope that Juniors will show the same spirit of competition as was manifest in their class election. DENTAL COLLEGE GRADS REPORT FOR INSTRUCTION [bold] The following graduates of the college of dentistry of last year, have received their call to report to Camp Greenleaf, Fort Oglethorpe for instructin this month: Drs. Van. F. Barnes, Ray C. Gillett, E. E. Gross, Leo J. Kelly, C. L. Layton, B. J. Lewis, W. H. Paule, and D. H. Phelps. Dr. M. G. Fenton '16 and Dr. F. B. Benesh '15 have also been called to report for duty at the same camp. NEW STUDY CENTER [bold] A new study center for men in S. A. T. C. has been established in the first year lecture room of the Law building with Professor Lauer as supervisor. This will partly relieve the congestion in other study rooms, it is hoped. HAWKEYES ENGAGED IN HARD PRACTICE FOR NORTHWESTERN [bold] Varsity Against Second Team in Different Lineup From Usual Positions [bold] PURPLE WELL COACHED [bold] Hardest Fought Game of Season To Decide Place in the Big Ten Conference [bold] Knowing that in the Purple eleven that meets Iowa this week end to decide which team shall be the owner of the second place in the Big Ten ladder, the Hawkeyes are destined to be sent into what promises to be the hardest fought contest of the season. The outcome will either raise or lower Iowa's rank as one of the west's best teams and which will elevate Iowa's position in football circles still higher in the event of Jones' team handing a defeat to the Northwestern crew, the old Gold Coach sent his proteges through one of the week's most effective practices of the fall, last night, the drill lasting until darkness caused a halt. Northwestern Drilled [bold] It was driven home in the minds of the Iowa team that the Purple eleven which starts the game will be coached and drilled to such a point of efficiency in team play that will necessitate the Iowa team playing every ounce of football they know to win. This week perfecting plays will be used against the Hawkeyes has constituted most of the practices of the Evanston squad. The coach has selected his regular varsity and is giving them the stiffest signal drills and chalk talks. Each player has been taught individually the object of each play with the result that the formation are hoped to be more successful again teh Iowans than they were against the Maroons. Half back Cigrand, Deason and Capt. Zanger end of the downtown schools have been reporting with the main squad and more perfection in the already developed clock works is the result. The Evanston team has about the same number of old men on their team as ours. Tickets for the game may be bought at Whetstones, the prices ranging from $2.00 $1.50 $1.00 and $.75 for S. A. T. C. Year books are good for tickets and every one will be allowed to buy as many tickets as he desires. It is advised that applications be placed early for there is sure to be the best crowd of the season. S. A. T. C. will be card for in the usual manner. The men will make out their application to the company commander for tickets. Scrimmage with Seconds [bold] Probably the most characteristic feature of the last nights drill was the way in which the varsity stopped the play sent against them by the second team, which was made up of a number of second string varsity. The varsity had a somewhat different lineup than usual. The backfield had Belding and Lohman for halves with Smith relieving Belding late in the practice. The Mason City lad has had hard luck in that all opposing teams have a hankering to him a target. Donnelly covered the fullback position while Kelley ran the eleven from the pilot position. Sykes was out and appeared to be rounding into shape for use Saturday in case (continued on page 4)
