Page Four  The Daily Iowan State University of Iowa  Sunday, January 26, 1919   POETRY AND STORY CONTEST IS NOW ON  Iowa Press and Authors' Club Offers $25 Prizes for Best Short Story and Poem  The Iowa Press and Authors' club, through its president, Mrs. Alice C. Weitz, announces its second annual short story and poetry contest in which $25 is the prize for the best short story and $25 for the best poem.  Manuscripts should be mailed to Mrs. Allice C. Weitz, 403 Forty-second street, Des Moines, Iowa, on or before April 15, 1919. Announcement of the winners will be made public before the commencement season in June if possible.  The following are eligible for the contest: any undergraduate student in an accredited Iowa college; any bona fide resident of Iowa who is an undergraduate student in an accredited school outside the state of Iowa; any person who, otherwise falling into one of the preceding classifications has left college to enter the military or naval service of the United States.  Ellis Parker Butler, Irving Brant, and Prof. Samuel Dirieux will judge the short stories and Witter Bynner, Wm. Stanley Braithwaite, and Forest Spaulding the poetry.  Other important details of the contest may be procured by applying to Prof. Percival Hunt, head of the English department.   

Prof. W. E. Hays announces that all freshman girls who can play an instrument of any kind should see him at once. He plans to form an orchestra of the freshman girls which will furnish music before each lecture.   

LARGE SUMS SPENT YEARLY FOR BOOKS  How much do you thing the students in the University spend in a year for books alone? Approximately $35,000,----enough money to allow a student at least to pass the year in comfort in Iowa City. Liberal arts students spend around $18,000 annually. Book store employees tell us that students seldom buy books other than text books or those needed in school. Some students use books together, or library books. Little outside reading is done by students as they do not have time for it. However the University has its latest novel fans.  Prof. Edwin F. Piper says that there are few students who read poetry for their own amusement. They buy few books of poetry, but use those in the library.  Many students spend four or five dollars for a note book. The women are the ones who flourish the expensive leather ones, according to one observant sophomore of the other sex.  Like everything else, text books are sky high this year. A student pays for his education all right. It may not be known by all students that the Y.M.C.A. sells second hand books at reasonable prices. Besides books there are fountain pens, notebooks, fillers, theme paper, and other accessories that make a considerable hole in the pocketbook.   

PHARMACY JUNIORS ELECT  The junior class of the pharmacy college has elected the following officers for the term: president, Irene Kemmerle, Iowa City; vice president, Rowena Evans, Iowa City; secretary and treasurer, H. A. Watters, West Liberty; Hawkeye representative, E. A. Nixon, Burlington.
