DEMOBILIZATION OF COLLEGIATE UNIT MAKES PROGRESS
Boys Given Dinner at Hotel Jefferson-Surgeons Busy With Medical Exams
BAND HERE CHRISTMAS
Naval Unit Awaits Release Papers From Great Lakes-May Come This Week
     Demobilization of Section A, known as the collegiate unit, was stated yesterday when Company A was entirely disbanded.
     Today the members of company B will receive the coveted releases; company C will follow tomorrow, and company D on Thursday. Thus the disbanding will continue one company a day, until the entire section A is demobilized. There are a dozen companies in this section, which number causes the demobilization to extend beyond Christmas day.
All Released by Dec. 27
     If the present plans of Capt. Robertson and his staff are carried out as expected, the last company, which will be the band, will be released on Dec. 27, allowing a recess in the proceedings on Christmas Day. These men will probably have a furlough on Christmas day, although it is not certain, says Capt. Robertson.
     Section ,B the vocational unit, has been entirely disorganized. The two companies in this section, companies N and O, were discharged over the week-end. Dinners were given the boys on the days of their departure at the Hotel Jefferson. A large orchestra composed of S. A. T. C. men, added to the pleasure of the happy festivities. Company A held their dinner at the Jefferson yesterday noon. Company B will also have a dinner today noon.
Naval Unit Waits
     The naval unit still awaits necessary papers from the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. Heads of this unit believe, however, that the "gobs" will be released during the week. No definite date, however, has been set for this demobilization.
     Captain Snell and his body of surgeons are still busy at the University hospital conducting the final medical examinations of the men prior to their discharge.
SOPHOMORE ELECTION TODAY
     The voting for sophomore class elections will take place this afternoon from 3:30 to 5:20 o'clock in room 7 of the liberal arts building. The members of the Victory ticket [art?]: President, Everett E. Smith; vice-president, Jean Birdsall; corresponding secretary, Vivienne Coady; recording secretary, Helen E. Evans; treasurer, Leila Stevens; class delegate, Jean Holloway; Hawkeye trustees: Joe Hill, Carl Spiecker, Nancy [Lamb?] and Marion C. Smith; athletic manager, William Kelly.
SUBMIT ORATIONS FOR ORATORICAL CONTEST
     All orations for the University oratorical contest must be handed in, not later than Feb. 10, announced Prof. Glenn S. Merry, head of the public speaking department. He further stated that according to the ruling of Northwestern Oratorical league, no oration must exceed two thousand words.
WAR RECORD IS PREPARED
University Will Publish Annals of its Part in the Great War
     Annals of the part the University has played in the war are being prepared for publication. They will include a history of the record made by students, alumni, and faculty of the institution, since the declaration of war, and will also constitute a history of the colleges made in the University to cooperate with the government.
     When this material has been collected, it will be published in either a single volume or a series of pamphlets. Photographs will be used as illustrations.
     Pictures of members of the Student Army Training Corps will be preserved for the record. For this purpose the closing parade of the organization took place Dec. 10, when the men made a formation of four double lines across the campus, extending for two blocks. After pictures had been taken the University contingent marched through the streets, headed by the band, with members of the naval detachment bringing up the rear. The procession, four abreast, extended more than six blocks long.
UNIVERSITY BUYS CLARK PROPERTY
Clark House Was Built in 1850-Second Permanent Extension of Cottage System
     The University has purchased the Clark property south of Currier hall, formerly occupied by the Xi Psi Phi fraternity. It will be furnished to accommodate thirty-three women and will be occupied immediately by the girls who are obliged to vacate the old fraternity houses.
     This house was built by Ezekiel Clark about 1850. Mr. Clark is the brother-in-law of former Governor Kirkwood. He has been called the "father of industry" in this art of the state. To him is due credit for the establishment of the power system at Coralville which for a time was called Clarksville in his honor. Mr. Clark was in the state senate two terms, and early Johnson county records speak much of his civic activities and leadership when the state was new.
     This house is the second permanent extension of the cottage system. The Currier annex of last year was the first attempt. The plan has worked out very satisfactorily and further extension is the hope of the future.
"COOKS ARE SCARCE AND HARD TO GET!"
     "Cooks are very scarce and hard to get," says a well informed cook of a certain sorority house.
     This dearth of culinary artists is due to the fact that the closing of the fraternity houses in the fall threw so many out of employment that they went into other lines of work.
     Many of these cooks have left the city and some have secured more lucrative positions. It is the opinion of the authorities that those wishing cooks will be forced to pay higher wages, because those who have employment will be reluctant to leave their positions unless they are able to receive more money.
QUARTER ENDS EARLY
     All University work closes and the first quarter ends Friday night, Dec. 20 at 6 o'clock instead of Saturday noon as previously announced. Action to this effect was taken by the board of deans yesterday afternoon. There will be no Saturday classes.
JOURNALISTS FIND REAL OPPORTUNITY
Demands for Articles Greater Than Supply-Journalism Titled Changed
Demands for magazine and special feature articles about the University and educational subjects far exceeds the present output of students in the course of journalism.
     Requests have come from the committee on public information for stories about life i nthe University. Such stories are intended for publication in papers abroad. There are many other opportunities for students to break into the magazine game through the contact of the course in journalism and the press of the state and nation.
     Titles of the courses in journalism have been changed in the new schedules for the second quarter indicate more clearly the field of work they cover.
     Reporting will be the term used for the course formerly known as the newspaper. Students registering for this course receive both theoretical training in the class room, and practical work in reporting news stories for The Iowa.
     Editing Practice will be a continuation of the course in Editing. Constant practice is received at the Iowan desks, editing stories. Instruction is received in the planning of the makeup of a newspaper, reading proof, and other phases of desk editing.
     The course in Interpretation of News will be known hereafter as Editorial Writing. It includes the study of the editorials of the best newspapers as well as the writing of editorials for The Iowan.
     Journalistic Writing will be called Special Feature Writing. In this course students write stories to submit to newspapers and magazines, as well as feature stories for The Iowan.
CHICAGO POSITION IS OFFERED MISS SWISHER
     Esther MacDowell Swisher, instructor in piano, has been offered a position in the Mary Wood Chase school of music in Chicago but has made no definite answer. The school of music here is hoping to be able to keep her.
     According to musical critics this Chicago institution ranks as one of the leading music schools in that city. Miss Swisher has appeared there a number of times in recitals.
OFFERS TEACHING OF HISTORY
     The department of history has provided a course of two hours during the second and third terms for those who wish to prepare themselves as teachers of history. Miss Pierce will have charge of the course.
WILL OFFER NEW COURSE
Arts of Printing and Engraving Will Be Practical Study
     A new course on the arts of printing and engraving, beginning next term promises to be of interest to students of journalism and bookmaking. The course is offered by Prof. C. H. Weller and is of two hours, meeting Tuesday and Thursday at nine throughout the second and third terms.
     While the course will deal mainly with topography and the various forms of engraving employed to printing and illustrating, some attention will also be given to the development and great masters of printing and engraving and to a practical study of the ordinary processes of newspaper, magazine, and book manufacturing. Among the topics to be considered are the following: styles of type and type-founding, type setting and machine composition, presses and presswork, and bookbinding; also woodcutting, etching, metal engraving, lithography, and the reproduction processes of zincographs, halftones, and photogravures. Visits will be made to convenient printing, newspaper, and engraving shops.
DEATH IN ACTION SHOWS IOWA SPIRIT
Frank Grubb Displays Football Valor on Battle Fields of France
"Iowa Fights" spirit is shown in a letter just received by Prof. F. C. Ensign of the University of Iowa from Lt. Col. R. C. Phinney, now in overseas service, telling of the tragic death of Frank Grubb, former Iowa football and track star. Col. Phinney says:
     "When I joined this regiment, about the middle of August, I found Frank Grubb, Iowa 1917, a corporal in H company. He was killed in action on the second day of this month.
     "He was found lying near a machine fun nest in which were two dead Boches. In his hand was a bit of paper on which he had managed to write, "The got me, but I got two of them,'
     "And I thought of the war cry I had heard so many times on Iowa Field-'Iowa Fights.' "
BACK TO THE OLD DAYS
     Back to civilian clothes. That suits everyone just fine. Even the girls with their weakness for uniforms are highly enthused over the prospect of being able to tell their Bill or John as the case may be from every other khaki clad figure on the campus. Perhaps Bill is a trifle too short to look well in a uniform or that Joe's auburn hair blends too closely with his khaki hat to really make them the distinguished individual that they were in their civilian clothes.
     The question uppermost in the ladies' minds at present is what will be the prevailing color in men's attire. Sorry to say but Vogue can give no reliable information. The only thing to do is to wait and see whether forest green or sunset brown will win out.
     Rose Reeve was a week end visitor at Tiffin.
