PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Tuesday, January 14, 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 venue, 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 Editors Beth Wellman Assisted by Ruth Rogers HOMER G. ROLAND In the death of Homer Roland, The Daily Iowan has lost a most faithful champion, a ready servant, and a valiant leader. As report desk editor and editor-in-chier of The Iowan, Homer gave to the utmost of his time, his ability, and his honest convictions. When the Iowan was taken out of the hands of private individuals, who prostituted it for private gain, Homer was its first editor. The cleanliness of its news columns during that first year of student ownership reflect credit upon him. Editorially his paper stood consistently and frankly for one thing, true sportsmanship. No other editor of The Iowan gave so much attention to its sports, followed them so closely, or did so much constructive work in the field of athletics. Homer had a diplomatic pen and his wise way of smoothing over difficulties that arose during that year with Ames and Grinnell would have done credit to a secretary of state. His editorial policy fostered the weakly spirit of good fellowship that was arising between Iowa and these schools and by constant care and feeding made it of a healthy and robust sort. Iowan reporters and editors loved Homer. They are proud that he could die in a cause which called for the same line of clean fighting and sportsmanship that he advocated here for Iowa teams. GRINNELL Saturday a chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, was installed at Grinnell college by Ames and Iowa men. Surely the expansion of the organization speaks well for the fraternity and marks a new beginning in the college activities of Grinell. The college is to be congragulated on beign honored with membership and is certain to carry well its new obligations. Perhaps the most significant part of the installation was the high type of fellowship found in the relations of Ames, Grinnell, and Iowa. More than any other influence the gathering together of men interested in college and world journalism from the three institutions will be a tendency to do away with mud-slinging in college editorials. Such relationship will tend toward more cordial relations in athletics and in policies affecting the different institutions. CHICAGOAN SPEAKS SUNDAY The Rev. Allan Hoban, professor of pratical theology at the University of Chicago, will speak at the Vesper service in the natural science auditorium Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. As a Baptist minister, the Reverend Hoban had preached in many of the largest churches in the country. He is widely interested in work among the boys and social services. Music will be furnished by the University choir and the orchestra. WHAT OTHERS THINK Ladies and gentlemen, but mostly ladies, the poster which you see on the table before you this morning and will see on the table before you tomorrow morning as you pass in and out of the liberal arts building might have borne the inscription "But a ticket for the ---", but it didn't. It might have said, "Subscribe for the Iowan." but it didn't. In fact it might be saying to you as you pass by "Vote the Sophomore Representative Ticket," but again we say it didn't. It simply bears the inscription "Join the Women's League and do it Today." For the small sum of seventy cents you or any of your feminine friends can be voting members of this organization. And now you ask what it is all about and the advantages of membership. Women's League has very few set and fixed activities which have been handed down by the year. It does however, try to promote any women's activities of worth on the campus. It is Women's League who had Jeanne Terraz here this year. It started the Volunteer War Unit but when peace was declared dropped this movement. Folding cootie garments, helping girls find rooms, giving parties, undetaking the Stefanson lecture, making plans to fix up the drawing room, co-operating with other organization and movements- these are some of the things that Womens League is trying to do this year on the campus. Your seventy cents will help greatly and your interest will help too, in putting over big things for women on the campus this year. F.K OFFERS TRAINING FOR RECONSTRUCTION Discussional Plans, Successful in Other Schools, Have Been Worked out by Y.M.C.A Plans for discussion groups on the subject of reconstruction were perfected Friday at a mass meeting of a hundred representative women of the University. Discussion groups have been meeting in other colleges and universities throughout the country all of the past year, and have proved succesful. The plan originated at the national Y.W.C.A conference at Northfield, Mass., in December 1917, which Margaret Hayes and Helen Grotewhol attended as the University's representatives. At the mass meeting Friday Helen Grotewohl told of the discussion groups in other schools and spoke of the needs of college students as leaders of the reconstruction period. Margaret Hayes is chairman of the voluntary study commitee. Two sub-chairmen, Agnes Dawson and Margaret Dolliver, will work with her, with Mrs. Nellie S. Aurner as advisor. Leaders for the discussion groups will be Estella M. Boot and Prof. Sam B. Sloan of the English department; the REv. W. C. Shaffer, congregational student pastor; Prof C.M Case of the sociology department; Charlotte C. Donnell, assistant in commerce; Prof F. C. Ensign of the colleg of education; Mrs. Grace P. Smith, editor-in-chief of the Alumnus; Prof. E. H Lauer of the German department; Prof. A.O Thomas of the geology department; Mrs. Carl Brueckner; Rev. H.L Rohrbaugh, Methodist student pastor. An all Unviersity mass meeting will be held Dednesday, Jan. 22, according to plans now being made. Registration fir the group will take place the tfollowing Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and the groups will meet with their leaders the next week. Y.M LOSES LEADER H.M. Le Sourd, the Y.M.C.A secretary has been called to the Ohio State university as Methodist student pastor. The Rev. Mr. LeSourd was graduated from Ohio Wesleyan in 1911 and received a degree from Union Theological seminary in 1915 and his master's degree from Columbia in 1914. He served as director of religious education in Methodist churches in New York and Cleveland until a year ago when he entered Y.M.C.A work. Mr. LeSourd was not primarily a "Y" man but came out of specialized religious work to go into the army, and when this opening came he decided to take it. The advisory board is not yet ready to announce Mr. LeSourd's successor. Jane. E. Roberts, Unibersity librarian, is attending a meeting of the Iowa Library association in Des Moines today.
