C. Nutting, head of the department of zzoology. Beginning with Jan. 5, the lectures will be given every Wednesday night in the liberal arts auditorium. This course will be given under the auspices of the graduate college and will be non-technical. Illustrations taking the form of 400 lantern slides of negatives made by Mr. Maurice Ricker, official photographer, and others, will be shown. No islands have been more thoroughly photographed than those visited by the expedition, according to Prof. Nutting. "The Cruise" is the title of the first lecture, which is to be an account of the voyage to the Lesser Antilles and Porto Rico, under war conditions. This group include the following islands, St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. Kitts, Antigua, Guadeloupe, Martinque, St. Lucia, Barbados, and Porto Rico. "In Barbados," the second lecture, Professor Nutting will suggest some idea of the expedition's experiences in the most densely populated area in one of the oldest colonial possessions of Great Britian, where nine-tenths of the people are black. On Jan. 29, the third lecture, called "Pelican Island", will be an account of the adventures of the Iowa naturalists while occupying quarters generously furnished by the Colonial government of Barbados. Deep-sea dredging and work about the coral reefs will be explained and illustrated. "Ancient Island," seat of government of the Leeward islands, will be discussed in Professor Nutting's fourth lecture. Scenes and people of this little-known island will be described as well as a race riot and its suppression. To conclude the series the speaker will give a talk on English Harbor, a most interesting spot in the West Indies from the standpoint of both romance and history. This "naturalist's paradise" was the home of the expedition for five weeks. FORMER EDITOR OF THE DAILY IOWAN DIES IN PARIS HOSPITAL --- Tuberculosis Resulting From Exposure Causes Death Of Homer G.

WOMEN ORGANIZE IN EDUCATIONAL CLUB Club Looks Forward to Sorority- Two Faculty Member Women Are Already Members Students in the college of education have organized an educational club for women which is looking forward to obtaining a chapter from Pi Lambda Theta, the honorary educational sorority. At a meeting of the club Saturday afternoon, Miss Sara Stinchfield,, research assistant in the child welfare department, told of the organization at the University of Pittsburgh, where she was a charter member. Temporary officers chosen were L. Ruth Jones, senior, as chairman and Helene Blattner junior, as secretary, and a committee was appointed for the purpose of drafting a constitution. Pi Lambda Theta, although a comparatively young organization, has at the present time chapters in a number of the leading institutions of the country. Their purpose is to encourage scholarship and good work in the educational field and bind the women together in the interests of education. Members of the local club consider themselves very fortunate in having among them two members of Pi Dambda Theta, Sara Stinchfield, and Dr. Amy Daniels, professor of nutrition in the child welfare department. Dr. Daniels beglons to the chapter at the University of Missouri. WHENCE PRETTY MAID? "Are you going away?" asked the official reporter as she met one of her news sources going south with her handbag. "No, just a Hawkeye picture," the girl replied for the fifteenth time in her three block walk from the studio. Proprietors of the boarding houses are getting accustomed to having only five of their twenty-five girls at home for the mid-day meal, for every noon group pictures are being taken for the Hawkeye. NOTICE TO ORCHESTRA Dr. O. E. Van Doren requests those who care to play stringed instrument sin the University orchestra to call any day this week at his office in the band room. Only experienced players need apply for places, he declares. IOWA LOSES FIRST CONFERENCE GAME TO INDIANA CREW Uninteresting Contest Gives to Hoosiers Easy Victory Score: 23-14 FIRST HALF ENDS 12 TO 7 Bannick's Team Outplays Hoosiers in First Few Minutes of FIrst Half of Game Iowa lost a listless basketball game to Indiana last night by the score of 2 3 to 4. Neither team displayed much brilliancy and the contest was lacking in the fight characteristics of the Coc battle of last week. In the first half, the Hawkeye tossers sprang into the lead with a pretty basket by Capt. Berrien and for the few minutes that followed Bannick's five outclassed the Hoosiers completely. This brief spurt on the part of the Old Gold ended abruptly and the visitors forged ahead in a series of long shots by Zeller aidn Jeffries. When the gun announced the end of the initial period the score stood 1 2 to 7 in favor of Indiana. Iowa was still unable to get started in the second half, although Coach Bannick substituted Pyles and Conwell to inject a little fight into the team. Pyles tossed a pretty ringer just after his entry into the game and for a time the Hawkeyes played fast ball, but were unable to overcome the Hoosiers' long lead. The final whistle left the score 23 to 14 in favor of the visitors. Dean and Zeller for Indiana were particular stars, scoring most of the Hoosier points. For Iowa, Capt. Berrien fought hard and led his teams in a number of field baskets made Summary of the game: Iowa (14) Indiana (23) Cotton RF Dean Berrien (c) LF Zeller Olson C Jefferies Kaufman RG Phillips (c) Brown LG Byrum Subsitutes- Nicholaus for Kaufman. Conwell for Cotton, Pyles for Olson. FIeld goals- Dean 4, Jeffries 3, Zeller 2, Berrien 2, Brown, Cotton, Byrum, and Pyles. Free throws- Berrien 1 out of 5, Brown 3 out of 6, Dean 0 out of 3. Phillips 3 out of 4. Referee - Birth of Earlham. UNIVERSITY MAY GET PRESS CONVENTIONS W. Earl Hall, president of the Iowa College Press association expects to return to the University about the first of February. The annual meeting of the association will be held either in the latter part of March or early in April. The last meeting was held in Cedar Rapids and The Daily Iowan was represented by about fifteen delegates.

It is the hope of those interested in journalism at the University, to bring the annual meetings to Iowa City this year. This will be the third annual meeting; the first of which was held at Colfax in 1916. Both business and editorial matters of the college papers are discussed and men of high standing in the profession, present papers at the convention.
