NUMBER 41
MANY MEN RETURN AND INCREASE THE LATE REGISTRATION
Law College has large Enrollment-Medical and Dental Colleges same Figures
INCREASE IN ENGINEERS
Figures Will not be Final-About 2700 is the estimate in Liberal Arts College
     In spite of the fact that students were urged to register before vacation, on the Thursday following, only 600 had done so. As a result the registrar's office has been busy since school reopened, and in addition, the return of many men from the service has increased the task.
     A mere guess as to the size of the new student body in the college of liberal arts, would be around 2700, says Mr. Dorcas, although these figures may vary either way.
Figures not Final.
     Many men are still returning from the service and they will continue to come for some time, so even the figures after the close of registration cannot be final. With the close of regular registration today, the number of the present student body will be known, and the registrations after that time will only be sufficient to swell the number slightly.
     The college of law, which has suffered severely as to numbers during the war, numbering 16 students last quarter, will have a new registration of around 45, although that number is not final and will undoubtedly be increased as men continue to return to the University, according to Dean McGovney, dean of the college of law. There is still opportunity for an increase before the close of regular registration today at five o'clock.
     In the college of denistry, registration will be nearly the same as last quarter, according to present indications So far the figures do not differ materially from those of law quarter, and it is not probable that they will, according to Dr. Breene, head of the college of dentistry. According to present figures, the enrollment in the college of medicine will be approximately the same as last quarter, says Dr. McLintock. Few registrations still to come in will not be sufficient to cause any material change.
Large Number of Engineers
     Information from Dean Raymond shows that there is a marked increase in the number of freshman engineers. The increase is due in part to the return of many men from the service, among them many who have attended the University in past years.
     In addition to this factor, engineering has a practical value at this time in connection with problems of reconstruction that the men realize. Men are still coming in to register, he added, and many of them are men who have been under his instruction in the past. There are already 130 enrolled in freshman engineering, an increase of 25 per cent over any registration in the past. That number will undoubtedly be increased even after the close of regular registration.
WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB MEET
     The Women's glee club will meet today at 4 o'clock instead of 4:30.
ANDERSON'S TALK TO CLUB RESULTS IN LIVELY QUIZZ
     Paul B. Anderson gave a vivid and interesting talk for the Philosophical club in the liberal arts drawing room Friday night. He described the characteristics of the Russian people, of Bolshevism and in response to inquiries also described his experience in doing business in Russia and the life in prison. In the discussion which followed, Mr. Anderson answered the many questions with remarkable clearness.
MARCOSSON TO GIVE UNIVERSITY LECTURE
Made five trips to the War Zone and is Acquainted with European leaders
     Isaac F. Marcosson, "America's foremost reporter", is scheduled for University lecture Jan. 23. As a contributor to the Saturday Evening Post, he has had a nation-wide audience for years.
     The war has given Mr. Marcosson an international reputation. He has five trips to the war zone to his credit and was the first American to reach Petrograd after the Revolution. His lecture will be alive with personalities, for he has had intimate contact with the great leaders of affairs in Europe today. He is acquainted with Pershing, Haig, Lloyd Geoge, Northcliffe, Geddes, Clemenceau, Petain, Joffre, Sonnino; in fact, with all the dominating figures of the war.
     His services in the war were publicly recognized at a dinner given in his honor at the Waldorf Astoria hotel at which the Honoable James M. Beck presided, and the speakers included Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the United States shipping board, and Major Ian Hay Beith. This will be one of the leading lectures of January.
PSYCHOLOGY CLASSES HEAR MANY LECTURES
     Prof. G. W. Stewart, of the department of physics, is giving a special course to the advanced students in psychology. It is in the nature of a seminar in which Prof. C. E. Seashore took up the psychology of sound in the first quarter. Professor Stewart is now taking them thru the psychology of sound for the second term with special reference to the problems involved in research work in psychology.

PUBLISHES ARTICLE ON RECONSTRUCTION
     Prof. G. T. W. Patrick has published an article recently in the Infantry magazine entitled, "The Psychology of Social Reconstruction." Professor Patrick philosophically considers the problems of reconstruction from the standpoint of the mental tendencies of humanity. He points out that this reconstruction must be accomplished by mental evolution as well as by social and economic legislation.
ALL STUDENTS WILL HAVE MASS MEETING
Athletics to be Boosted-Dinner for Football men to be held Thursday
     Athletics at Iowa will be the main subject of interest during the latter part of this week. Two monster mass meetings or Hawkeye pow wows are to be held Friday evening, Jan. 10. Thursday night a dinner for the football men will be given at the Jefferson Hotel. It is probable that the football captain for the following year will be elected at this dinner.
     At eight o'clock Friday evening all students at the University will get together for an orgy of athletic fervor. Apple cider will officiate. Simultaneously at the armory and the women's gymnasium respectively, the student men and women meet for the two meetings. These meetings are to be in charge of the students and the "I" club headed by Kenneth Von Lackum. Refreshments, talks, yells, and stunts, probably pep raising and hair raising, are expected. There will be no M. Ps. out for strays but just a hint to freshmen and the otherwise uninformed, absence from these meetings is usually considered an overt act of disloyalty. Athletics of all kinds are to be boosted.
COMMERCIAL COURSE IS STILL POPULAR
     More than eighty-five University students have enrolled in the commercial course given at the University high school. The course was at first designed to fit students for war work in the civil service but the declaration of the armistice has made no difference in interest or enrollment according to Prof. E. E. Lewis. There are now courses in secretarial English and bookkeeping as well as typewriting and shorthand. In time it is expected that this will be a regular secretarial course with academic credit.
STANLEY NEWELL DIES
     A gold star was added to the University service flag by the death of Stanley Newell, '18, at Great Lakes Naval Training station. Newell was taken ill with influenza and pneumonia just as he was about to return to his home in Wapello for the holidays.
     Following his graduation last June, he practiced law until he entered the service.
LANE CALLED TO AMES
     Plans for the R. O. T. C. at Iowa are still indefinite. Capt. Albert L. Lane, the new commandant, has been called to Ames by the illness of Mrs. Lane, and the meeting of the committee on military affairs and physical training has been postponed until his return.
HAWKEYE IN LAST HARD SCRIMMAGE BEFORE COE GAME
Varsity Wins Over Second Team Makes Score of 13 to 12 In Practice Game
THE TEAM IS GOING WELL
Oslen looms as Star-Iowa Will have Hard Fight-Coe team fast and Well Balanced
     Going through their final scrimage before the Coe game Wednesday night the Iowa varsity downed the fast second team in the fastest practice tilt of the year by the close score of 13 to 12. The seconds led for the larger part of the way until Berrien's gang caged enough ringers to give them the lead.
     Last night's practice saw the probable lineup that will start the Coe battle. Captain Berrien and Cotton were at the forewards, Olson holding the center position with Nicolaus and Brownie at the guards. Brownie is going well for early season form and some Coe forward is sure to have a hard time in scoring baskets on the Traer midget.
Olson Plays Well
     Coach Bannick has shifted his large squad every way in an effort to get the smoothest combination and he seems to be getting the desired results, for the quintet he has selected looks like a well balanced five.
     Worth has had the call over others for the pivot position and played this place for a while last night, being derricked by Olson. Woth will probably be seen at the middle station in the Coe game although it looks as though the Red Oak boy will start the fray at his old post. Olie has been going well in practice and looks to be the find of the season. Alternating with Cotton he has played a forward that is hard to beat and the chances are he will also play forward when a new combination is worked.
     Berrie is probably the best floor man on the team while he has an unerring eye for the hoop. Cotton is again displaying his usual game and the tall forward fits in real nicely into the team play.
Guards Are Net Shakers
     In Nicolaus and Brown the pair of guards which will start the game Butch has two men who are strong in the scoring game for both players have a tendency to shake the net when the opportunity presents. Nicolaus is a first year man but has shown he is of varsity class. Fiesler and McIlroy are other guards who will see service before the game is over. McIlroy was a star on the freshmen team last year and is playing the same style of play. Fiesler has already been under Conference fire for Fizz played a season on the Iowa five a few years ago.
     Coach Bannick is taking no chances on allowing the Coe team to come down here and pull what Cornell did last year in the early season and he has done wonders in whipping his give into shape. Although not to the height of accuracy in basket tossing and passing he will expect of them later on in the season the Hawkeyes look to be in good form for their first struggle of the year. Coe has a five that will make the Iowa team go the limit to win and with this pair of quintets fighting every minute Iowa followers can look for a scrappy game.
