   We are filled with gratitude for a soldiery of brave men ready to give their all in the cause of right.

   Students and faculty of the University rejoice today in celebrating the greatest Thanksgiving in history.

WOMEN ARE TO RUN VICTORY HAWKEYE
Mary Rice, Editor, and Grace Altschuled, Manager of Junior Annual Publication
   Mary E. Rice of Flandreau, South Dakota, was last night elected editor of the “Victory Hawkeye” by the trustees of the Hawkeye board. Grace Altshuler of Iowa Falls was elected business manager. The election of these University women must now be sanctioned by President W.A. Jessup. On his approval work will be started immediately on the University yearbook.
   Miss Rice, the new editor, is a student in journalism and is on the staff of The Daily Iowan this year. Miss Altchuler has had considerable business experience in the employ of her father.
   The work of getting out the paper lies in the hands of the editor and business manager. All appointments to the staff are made by them and the supervision of the publication all falls on their shoulders. It is expected all appointments to the staff will be made before Jan. 1.
   The demobilization of the S.A.T.C. and the return of the University to normal piece conditions point to one of the best Hawkeyes ever issued.
   Plans for the Hawkeye this year have been somewhat delayed because of the unusual conditions under which the University has been laboring this year. The actual work, however, has not suffered so much, for as a rule, the heavy work of getting out the book comes in the third quarter.
   The men elected to the position of editor and manager last year were not able to take up their duties this autumn because of their service in the army. The Hawkeye trustees felt that their places could not be held for them, because of the uncertainty of their returning in time to do effective work this school year.

HARD TIME PARTY AT Y.W.
All Day Suckers, Stunts and Games Are Fun For Everybody
   All University women, including faculty and nurses, are invited to a ..hard times” party to be given by the Y.W.C.A. Friday night in the liberal arts drawing room in honor of Mrs. Ticklepitcher, Grandpa and Grandma Ticklepitcher, Aunt Ticklepitcher, and all the rest of the Ticklepitchers, big and little, who are to entertain their neighbors and friends in honor of Ma Ticklepitcher’s second cousin’s wife’s nephew’s family, the Swartzendrubers and their relatives and friends. 
   Decorations will be in keeping with Thanksgiving, but it will be a Thanksgiving of hard times as indicated by the especially economical refreshments, all day suckers. Various stunts and games will be indulged in under the supervision of Ruth Jones. A prize will be given to the person wearing the most ridiculous costume, and any girl who fails to wear a hard times outfit will be penalized.

ALL S.A.T.C. UNITS TO BE DEMOBILIZED BEFORE CHRISTMAS
1700 Men Will be Dismissed at the Rate of a Hundred a Day—Passes Recalled
VOCATIONAL UNIT FIRST
Capt. Robertson Will Remain as University Commandant— Courses Revised
   Demobilization of all units of the S.A.T.C., both sections A and B, and discharge of the men will commence this week, beginning Dec. 1 and continuing to Dec. 21, according to a telegram received by commanding officers today. An outline of a plan for demobilization has already been made by Capt. George W. Robertson, commandant of the S.A.T.C. here.
   Section B, the vocational units, will be demobilized first and the men will be discharged at the rate of 100 a day. Demobilization of Section A, the collegiate men, will be commenced immediately after Section B is concluded.

Officers Go Dec. 10
   All discharges will be completed no later than Dec 21. Furloughs and passes are recalled at once. Men in arrest or confinement will be discharged, what will be held to complete whatever sentence has been imposed.
Officers will be discharged Dec 10, with the exception of those retained for the regular army. Capt. Robertson, the adjutant Lieut. Debutts, and the quartermaster Lieut. Caswell will stay here until S.A.T.C. affairs are entirely completed. Capt. Robertson will remain as Commandant.
   Each man will be given a strict physical examination at the time of discharge.
   Demobilization at the University means the release of 1700 men. There are 16 companies including the band and the naval reserve. Many of these men will take up academic work at the University now.
   Courses will be arranged so that the full year’s work will be made up. Freshman English will be changed to three hours a week in order to meet the regular requirements in this department. Other courses will be changed so that S.A.T.C. men will be able to complete a full year’s work.

May Complete Barracks
   The barracks will in all probability be completed, although the form may be changed. They may be used as an armory later or as men’s dormitories.
   There is no reason why the Christmas vacation may not be lengthened now that the University will soon be back on a peace basis. Fraternities may be able to move back into their houses and in all, the University will resume normal conditions.

   I.W.A.A. will have a hare and hound chase ending with a marshmallow toast for both old and new members Saturday at 1:15.
