EX-SOLDIERS TO HAVE JOBS
Men to Fill Out Cards for Y. M.-Positions Will Be Secured
     That the government plans to see that it's discharged soldiers are cared for in the line of employment for which they are best fitted, is shown by the fact that employment cards have been received by the Y. M. C. A. from the department of labor.
     Secretary Le Sourd makes the request that any man leaving the University without a specific job shall fill out one of these blanks at once.
     As soon as the blanks are filled, they are sent to Des Moines where positions are secured for the men in any locality they desire.
HOME EC STUDENTS NEED JOURNALISTIC TRAINING
     There is a big field open for home economics students to take work in journalism, says Dr. Amy Daniels, of child welfare depart. This is an opportunity for educating the women of the country through women's columns.
     Miss Daniels says that much of the material which is being printed at the present time is not worth publishing, since it is written by people with no adequate conception of the subject.
     When the United States food commission called for workers in this field in the recent emergency it was found that few women had the necessary training.
     Students in the home economics department might take courses in journalism as electives. This is being at present in other universities which have the two departments.
FRATERNITY MEN TO MOVE INTO HOUSES
     Many of the fraternity houses will be ready for the men before the first of the year. The fraternities who have completed their plans for moving are, Delta Tau Delta, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Zeta Epsilon, Theta Xi, and Sigma Chi.
     The Delta Chi's will justly be the envy of all student the second quarter. They have rented the Bostwick house on North Dubuque street, said to be one of the most beautiful houses in Iowa City.
     The other fraternities will probably be located by the first of the year and activities will be resumed.
DO YOU KNOW DUKE?
     For the last ten years years Duke has been attending the liberal arts college regularly and yet no degree is registered for him at the Alumnus office nor is his name to be found on any of the University records. Perhaps this is because he is only a big good-natured collie.
     Duke's manner is very democratic, a smile and a greeting for evryone. He is also a loyal backer of the team-no mass meeting is complete without his presence.
     In spite of these attributes his friends admit that his scholastic ranking is rather low. A member of the department in which he is majoring says that to his knowledge Duke has not as yet mastered even the rudiments of learning.
     His education began about ten years ago when he started following his master, Prof. I. A. Loos of the economics department. As the years went by and Professor Loos was no longer so regular in his attendance, Duke transferred his affections in some degree to Helen Loos Whitney and her husband, and now accompanies them.
MAJOR LAMBERT ON WAY HOME
     Major B. J. Lambert, previously in charge of the 23rd Highway Engineering, but now in the Chemical Warfare Service, is sailing for home on a freighter and expects to get here by New Year's, according to a cable recently received by Mrs. Lambert. Major Lambert will resume his duties as professor in the engineering department, next quarter.
     Alpha Tau Beta held initiation ceremonies last Friday evening for Kathryn Fritson, Cliffie Harlow, Berta McMurray and Rose Blagg.
See it first in The Daily Iowan.
Let The Iowan be your letter.
     Mabel Rockhill, Florence Volkmer, Rolletta Jolly, Vera Cornick and Adna Woodward have all resumed their studies after a few days' illness of influenza.
Send the Iowan home.
