Brigham ___________________________ Business Staff Romola Latchem--Business Manager Telephone 935 Office Hours--3-5 daily 103 Iowa Av. Edw. Chamberlain--Advertising Mgr. ___________________________ "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came." -Lincoln. ___________________________ Night Editors Ethyn Williams Agnes Kingsbury ___________________________ America First The measure soon to confront Congress concerning the prohibition of immigration into the country foe a four year period is essential to a speedy reconstruction and to industrial welfare. Living conditions are so high and labor in such a state of reorganization that an influx of cheap labor from foreign countries would disrupt our whole industrial system. With the return of thousands of soldiers and the creation of positions for them, the country is in enough of turmoil. The problem to find jobs for our own heroes is of difficult and lengthy solution. With prices still in the clouds the American laborer will have a tough struggle without competition from immigrants. War industries must be transformed into those of peace. These things are all expensive in time. Before our country receives any more material to assimilate into its citizenship, economic conditions must be more nearly normal. In war torn Europe there should be more jobs than in our country. The shell rent fields must be prepared for tilling; cities must be rebuilt. The only relief in our nation must come from projects postponed because of the war. Women will not be satisfied to release their positions in industry. Our country can no better afford to have a discontented woman citizenship than a dissatisfied soldiery. Nor is it selfish to lock our gates to suffering humanity abroad. America has already done too much for the oppressed of the Old World to be accused of this. But we must protect ourselves. To the relief of starving peoples, America is now contributing. Food and money sent out of this country can supply their wants. America must again get her melting pot boiling steadily and the lumps all dissolved before she receives new ingredients. When America has supplied every returned soldier with a job that allows him a decent standard of living, then it will be time to open our gates to the oppressed of Europe. In solving nations' problems, America must come first to Americans. _________ Those Ugly Stubs From the aesthetic viewpoint one of the saddest parts of the passing of the S.A.T.C. was the loss of a police squad. The campus, especially at the entrance of buildings, is unsightly with an accumulation of cigarette stubs. The janitors can not be expected to take the place of a squad from the guard house. Some institutions, notably Ames, have done away with cigarette smoking on campus. During military regime at Iowa State the commandant endorsed the anti-smoking on campus order and so even the soldiers were denied the comforts of nicotine. The Iowan dares to suggest nothing so drastic as the Ames measure for use here. If descriptions of a tobacco throat or warnings of stunted mental and physical growth do not check the smoker, nothing our editorial columns could say would. Besides the habit, if expensive, provokes pleasant sensations. If some sort of a stationary waste basket or garbage container could be placed just outside the door of different buildings it would be an easy task for smokers to toss the stubs into this receptacle. The task [of] keeping the campus free from trash would thus be simplified, and the disgusted feeling caused by such litter at the doors would no longer arise. 'Twould be better to sow grass in these bare spots than cigarette stubs. Let's have a clean and beautiful campus. ________ What Others Think ________ Editor of the Daily Iowan: Permit me to correct a wrong impression which was given concerning my own efforts by your report of the activities of certain University professors in your Sunday issue. While it is true that I have given much time and effort to the Czecho-Slovak causes, our own American interests have taken an even greater measure of both. In my humble way I tried to do what practically all the people of my blood in this country did so well, -- namely, everything possible to assist in freeing the Czecho-Slovak people from Austrian misrule while remaining absolutely and sincerely loyal to our own country. I have addressed many more American than Czecho-Slovak (Bohemian) audiences, and have found the two interests really blending in one great cause. B. Shimek. ________ Why Not Duke? The only good thing I have to say about "Mabelle" is that it is a clever advertisement. The Hawkeye could not have hit upon a better way to arouse curiosity and interest of the students on the campus. But I hardly expect them to vote seriously for a mystery as a representative woman, a something that out in the open and flying its own colors might never be thought of and in no sense of the word as a representative woman. I would as soon see the students elect "Duke," the campus collie, as the representative woman. Perhaps the fact that the students will vote for anything so ridiculous is an indication of how seriously they take the whole matter, as a joke, and how they regard the justness of the system of choosing. Perhaps they realize themselves the puppets of the she-politicians, who no more deserve a place in the University year book as representative women than the advertisements in the back of the Hawkeye. Why not place them with "Reich's" ads or T. Dell Kelly's and call it "Business," or else place "Duke" with them as one of our campus' leading women? Lilian Prentiss. ________ Dear Editor: Steps to secure a memorial to commemorate the memory of all Iowa men who have had a part in the great world war, and especially those who have made the supreme sacrifice have not been taken. Few suggestions have been made and scarcely any consideration given to the subject. The sentiment of the student body, the faculty and the alumni should be expressed as to what form the memorial should take. The big question that appears for consideration is whether the tribute should be in the form of a strictly utilitarian object or whether it should be absolutely artistic and aesthetic. One view must be eventually decided upon. Why not have a committee appointed to carry out the preliminary negotiations? Let suggestions appear in the volumn? Let classes voice their opinions as a body and everyone express their idea of what memorial we shall erect for our soldiers. K.A. ___________________________ Dainty Lunches between or after classes.
