The Daily Iowan The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa VOL. XVIII-New Series VOL. III IOWA CITY, IOWA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1919 NUMBER 28 FRIDAY NIGHT SET FOR THE BIG MIXER TONIGHT'S LECTURER TRIUMPHANT OVER EXPLODING SHELLS Issac Marcosson as Civilian Watch British Troops Go Over the Top ____________ CONTRIBUTES TO THE POST _________ Prophecy that Lloyd George Would become England's Prime Minister Prove True ______________ Issac F. Marcosson, who will lecture at 7:30 tonight in the natural science auditorium, is one of the great journalist of today. Probably no one in the newspaper world has had a greater variety of experiences than he. During his five trips to Europe in the recent war, he had many narrow escapes from death. While he was with the Canadians at Souchez, a signaler with whom he was talking, was instantly killed by a shell fragment. In Gorizzia, with the Italians on their triumphant entry, he miraculously escaped death, when a shell exploded immediately behind him, killing thirty-two men. At various times, ships on which he was traveling were attacked by submarines. He is probably the only American civilian who saw the British troops go over the top. Friend of Lloyd George Mr. Marcosson had a desire to be in Europe when the war closed. His wishes were rewarded, for while wishes crossing the English channel, a destroyer dashed past, bearing news of the signing of the armistice. One of the most interesting friendships made with allied leaders was his personal relation with Lloyd George. Out of their intimate friendship grew one of the greatest journalistic achievements of the war. In 1916, as he was leaving England for home, he stopped to bid goodbye to England's great statesman. Prophecy Came True Immediately on return to this country, Mr. Marcosson wrote his famous character study of Lloyd George, and prophesied he would become prime minister of England. By peculiar good fortune, the article appeared within a week after Lloyd George had received the office. The recent articles by Mr. Marcosson in the Saturday Evening Post have been read with great interest by the American public. This series of articles deals with problems of financing and transporting the American Expeditionary Forces, as well as other subjects pertaining to the troops abroad. At the Waldorf Astoria, April 24, 1918 the largest banquet ever held in the hotel, was given in honor Mr. Marcosson by fifty-eight prominent Americans, among them Frank A. Vanderlip, of the New York City bank, Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier Journal, James W. Gerward, former ambassador to Germany, and author of "My Four Years in Germany." This was one of the most notable events of its kind ever given in New York City; and was one of the countless testimonials to Mr. Marconosson's unusual ability. CONTRIBUTE YOUR BIT FOR ARMENIAN RELIEF Student will have a chance to contribute to the Armenian relief fund this week. There will be no large campaign among the students, but boxes for contributions will be placed in the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. It is hoped that every student will make some contribution. Dean W.J. Teeters is in charge of the drive among the faculty. The fund is for the suffering and starving Armenians, Syrians, and Jews. The Armenian are Christians and have been martyrs a the hands of the Turks. This is the last drive on the war program and the government is back of it. It is the duty of every student and faculty member to give generously to this most necessary relief work. _________________ Y.M.C.A. CAMPAIGN WILL OPEN MONDAY _________________ Big Clock to Be Erected on Campus to Tick Off New Members, Cabinet Chosen ____________ Monday morning at 8 o'clock begins what will probably be the biggest and most comprehensive campaign for membership to the Y.M.C.A. ever put on before at the University. Those in charge say that they will stop at nothing short of 1000 new members and the dope has it that the number will go far above that figure. Additional interest will be given to the campaign by the erection of a big clock on he campus which will tick off the number of new members. Harold Rigler is in direct charge of the undertaking and already has most of the arrangements completed. No one will be left unsolicited, and it is h0ped to have the largest membership in history in the Y.M.C.A. this year. The cabinet for the year has just recently been completed and is as follows: President, Ronald Reed; vice president, Richard Young; secretary, Horace W. Tousley; treasurer, A.G. Pyle; campus services, W.L. Erickson; community service, Edward F. Rate; church relationships, Robert R. Aurner; membership, Harold Rigler; forum, George M. Wilcox; discussion groups, Frank L. Kostlan; social committee, Charles Maruth; publicity, Earl Culver; finance, A.G. Pyles. ____________ PROF NUTTING TO LECTURE Prof. C.C. Nutting, head of the zoology department will talk on "Evolution" at the freshman lecture today. The slides of Dean Wm. G. Raymond's new Iowa song have arrived and Prof. Hays will be present to instruct the students in singing it. ____________ The Humanist society will meet at the University club over the Book and Craft shop Monday night, Jan. 27, at 8 o'clock. Prof. E. F. Pipers will read selections from his book "Barbed Wire and Other Poems." New officers of the society recently elected are Prof. C. E. Young, president, and Prof. J.S. Magnuson, secretary. BANNICK'S MEN ARE EAGER FOR REVENGE AGAINST HOOSIERS _________ Squad of Eight Men Leaves on Long Southern Trip To Indiana ___________ FINLAYSON MAY PLAY ______________ Hawkeyes Will Play Second Game With Purdue Saturday Night ___________ Iowa basket tossers are prime for their trip south, where they will meet two strong conference teams this week end. Coach Bannick's men are keen for revenge against Indiana, who will be their opponents Friday night, for the recent defeat handed them by the Hoosiers. A win over Purdue also on the following evening would boost the Old Gold stock considerably in the Big Ten Percentage column. Last night, the varsity five played fast basketball against the scrubs and appeared more like a real quintet. Nicholaus, who has had a bad ankle since the Chicago game, will be able to see service on the trip, as will Finlayson, whom the doctors have finally decided fit to play. Bannick has been using the Clinton man at center, but he may possibly be used part of the time at guard. A real difficulty has been to find a defensive man capable of playing opposite Brown. Finlayson may be the solution to this problem, although Nicholaus has been putting up a great fight for an inexperienced man. If his condition permits, he will likely start with Brown as guard against the Hoosiers Friday night. Worth at center has shown a remarkable improvement since the last home game. He played so well on the Chicago trip that he may be a fixture in the pivot position. Finlayson will give the Grinnell man a hard battle, however, for the possession of the central ring, if the newcomer is able to stand the strain. At the present time, Finlayson's heart action is being watched by medical men to see if any danger exists in allowing him to play. Coach Bannick and Jack Watson will leave this morning with a squad of eight men including Captain Berrien, Olson, Cotton, Worth, Finlayson, Nicholaus, Brown, and Kaufman. It is likely that the following men will start the Indiana game Friday night: Berrien and either Cotton or Olson, forwards; Worth, center; Nicholaus and Brown, guards. NEW STUDENT DIRECTORY SOON Material for the new University directory is being collected by the registrar and the University editor. It will be sent to the printer the first of February. Changes and irregularities at the beginning of he quarter have caused delay. Registrar H.C. Dorcas reports that many students did not give their Iowa City residences and telephone numbers when registering. It is important that this material be sent in to the registrar's office immediately. It is also requested that faculty members report any correction from the first directory. SENIOR MEDICAL IN ANNUAL BANQUET The forty-three members of the senior medic class had their banquet last night at eight o'clock at the Hotel Jefferson. Twenty doctors of the medical faculty were guests. LeGrand Byington was toastmaster. Between courses Ray Jones, president of the class, introduced some of the faculty members who gave short speeches. Dr L.W. Dean gave an address on "The History of he Medical College." Then Dr. C.P. Howard spoke on "Internal Medicine as a Profession;" L.K. Fenlon on "Up to the Present time;" Dr. H.J. Prentiss, "The Laboratory Man and the General Practitioner;" Dr. Henry Albert, "Something" and Dr. J.T. McClintock on "Back to Iowa." After the dinner some of the members of the class gave a short entertainment for the faculty members. _______________ STAGE PROPER PLACE FOR EDUCATION MAN __________________ Faversham Advises Supers While Directing Stage Setting in "Lord & Lady Algy" _______________- Now that William Faversham and Maxine Elliot have made their first appearance in Iowa City, fresh memories of one of the most delightful evenings ever spent in a theatre, linger in the minds of over a thousand people, who crowded the Englert Tuesday evening, to witness the performance of America's foremost actor and actress in "Lord and Lady Algy." Characterized as a rollicking comedy of English life, "Lord and Lady Algy" presents many opportunities for amusement--opportunities which were thoroughly carried out by the two stars, supported by a first class company. Faversham was most active Tuesday evening in personally directing the setting of scenery, the costuming and other technical details of the presentation. It was not until the last few minutes before the first curtain to rise until he was absolutely certain that everything was in its proper place that he consented to finish his own costuming. To the casual observer, "Favvy," as the members of his company call him, is a most exceptional type of a "jolly, good fellow." His good nature was evidence in intermission between the second and third acts, when her conversed with several local young people who were appearing in the play as "supers." While in his dressing room, Mr. Faversham heard the young men discussing his first appearance in motion pictures in the "Silver King." With a broad smile, he opened the door of his room and queried pleasantly. "Did I hear someone talking about the Silver King?" One of the group nodded in the affirmative. "You know I am just crazy to see that picture," he continued. "It is the first thing I have ever done in the movies and it has just been released, but I have not had an opportunity to see myself on the screen. I fell that I have a novel experince coming. "The tell me the picture is mak- (continued on page 3) UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WILL BE WELCOMED AT JOINT Y MIXER ____________ Social Committees Have Worked Out Plans for Program and Get-Acquainted Stunts ____________ SPECIAL MANDOLIN MUSIC ___________- President Jessup, Mrs. Aurner and Capt. Lane are Speakers for the Occasion __________________ Student of the University will be given their first opportunity his year to get acquainted with each other on a large scale at the big mixer tomorrow night in the women's gymnasium at 7:30. The Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. represented by committees have had charge of the preparations. On the Y.M.C.A committee are L. Hertlein, E. Eisfeld, B. Townsend, Edward Rate and Robert R. Aurner with Charles Maruth as chairman of the social committee. Mary Anderson and Ruth Jones with a committee composed of Magdalene Grimm, Katherine Dayton, Ruth Huntington, Marion Henry, Elma Forbes, Dorthy Banks, and Blodwyn Williams are working out the Y.W.C.A plans for the mixer. Miss Wallace Will Read After a general reception or 'mixing' under novel circumstances, a short, snappy program will be given. President W.A. Jessup will give a short speech of welcome. Selections by a mandolin quartet are next on the program. Those who have heard this quartet practicing say that it has a real punch. Maurine Wallace has a reading for the occasion, and Mrs. Nellie S. Aurner will give a talk. A general free-for-all song period is to follow and Captain A.L. Lane will speak. Refreshments, Too Refreshments in the form of punch and wafers will be served after the program. The old method of tagging guests with their names and letting them get acquainted promiscuously has been done away with and thoroughly new effects are provided in the way of stunts and methods of finding out who your neighbor is. If you want to get the name of the flaxen-haired doll who make eyes at you across the table in the library, or if you want to know the young giant with the soulful eyes who stares at you in the all come to the mixer tomorrow night. They will both be there and you will both be friends ever after, is the promise of the committee. ______________ NOTICE TO S.A.T.C. Refunds will be made to all inducted S.A.T.C. men who have made deposits covering housing, subsistence, or tuition. Please call at Secretary's office in Old Capitol Building. W.H. BATES, Sec'y ___________ FRESHMAN NOTICE Freshman election will be held Friday in the Liberal arts building.
