Page Two  The Daily Iowan State University of Iowa  Thursday, January 9, 1919  THE DAILY IOWAN  A morning paper published for the period of the war three times a week----Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday----by The Daily Iowan Publishing company at 103 Iowa avenue, Iowa City  Entered as second class matter at the post office of Iowa City, Iowa  EDITORIAL STAFF  Editor-in-chief Mildred E. Whitcomb  Telephone Black 1757  Office Hours----8 to 12; 1 to 6 daily, Room 14, L. A. building.  Managing editor  Rowena Wellman  BUSINESS STAFF  Romola Latchem----Business Manager  Telephone 935  Office Hours---daily, 103 Iowa Avenue  Night Editor  Elizabeth Hendee  Assisted by Kathryn Fritson   LIBRARY HOURS  Nowadays just about everything both minute and colossal has been attacked with intent to standardize. "Standardization" is a word and an act that has become as common as "camouflage": it simply can't be avoided, go where you may. The pedantic and the highly efficient dote on standardization.  About the campus exists a lamentable situation which will be a veritable godsend to the University's best standardizers. Surely no more appealing and inspiring suggestion to dabblers in standardization could be made than----library hours.  The simplest method would be to visit the education and philosophical libraries, the geology, botany, and zoology libraries, the classical German, and Romance language libraries, in the groupings used above, and other isolated and occasionally frequented libraries of a non-professional nature, such as Ranney, take down the total number of hours they keep open house, find either the L. C. M. or the G. C. D. of them, and proceed toward systematic standardization.  Now if a student wants to do the readings assigned in his various courses, he must spend his time vacilating between libraries ever anxious lest he be too early or too late to gain admittance to the place of his destination. If all departmental libraries could have a uniform schedule of hours, day and evening, the poor scholar would lead a more carefree existence. The standardization fiend, by solving this problem, would be of immense practical service.   FROM THE WRECKAGE  The Students' Army Training Corps was organized to give young men over the country a partial college education at the same time it prepared them for military service. While it gave the men a knowledge of the fundamentals of the service and an insight into the beginnings of a few half-hearted college courses, it did not make an S.A.T.C. man a college man.  This at least, was the experience here. The men were not inculcated with the feelings or manner of a person trained in schools of higher learning. Many of them in tasting college learning found it bitter.  While members of the corps were at college they were not in college. They did not get the experience every University man receive in normal years. As a consequence, the social and scholastic life of the University is just commencing at this late date. Every man who has returned to school will be the more valuable to the University because he decided to came back even after the unfavorable impressions received the first quarter.----University Daily Kansan.   TO COMPILE NEW DIRECTORY  Work on a new student directory will be started as soon as registration is completed. An entirely new directory is necessitated by the changes due to demobilization of the S.A.T.C. and new students who are entering this quarter.   WHAT OTHERS THINK  FRESHMAN DORMITORIES  Many institutions of higher learning have adopted a system of freshman dormitories for men, with marked success.  By means of this plan, all men entering school are able to secure equal advantages and privileges. Accommodations are practically the same and all men, regardless of social position or financial resources begin college with the same opportunity. The system does away with unfair advantages of circumstance; money is no longer a factor in determining the success or failure of a boy beginning college.  Living conditions under the dormitory system are materially better; rooms are well heated and ventilated and kept in order by the school's provisions. Study is possible and even customary in schools using the new housing scheme.  School spirit is promoted to a degree otherwise impossible. The interest of new students is directed from social cliques to the promotion of the higher interests of the school as a whole. The first impulse then is for college, not for self.  M. O.   B. I. F.
