VARSITY SWIMMERS BUSY Eels Will Meet Tonight to Elect New Members More varsity swimming material is the urgent call sent out by Coach Armbuster. Very few men have come out for the work so far this year Hannapel is the one man in whom Armbuster is basing his hopes. Hannapel has equalled the conference record set by Earle of Chicago in the meet at the Midway last spring. Plans are now being made to send the Iowan to this year’s meet. All members of the Eels, an organization of S.U.I. swimmers, will meet in the gymnasium tonight at 7:30. Every one interested in swimming is welcome. New members will be taken in and plans for the year discussed. Negotiations are now under way whereby Iowa and Ames will engage in a dual meet to be put on at Ames, Iowa owes the Aggies a return meet and it is more than likely that a contest will be arranged.

CAPT. A.L. LANE. LARGEST Y.M.C.A. MEMBERSHIP GAIN MADE SINCE 1914 Sigma Nus and Phi Kappa Psis Lead Organizations in Liberal Arts FIRST MEETING IS TONIGHT Will Outline Program for the Year—Many Other Gatherings Are Planned With belated reports still coming in and other memberships being secured, the grand total of new members of the Y.M.C.A. is gradually growing. The first meeting of the new Y.M.C.A. will be held tonight in the reading room at 7:30. New members as well as the old ones are urged to be present. Outlines for the future program will be presented, and discussed. After the meeting a five reel movie will be shown. These programs will continue throughout the year under various forms of procedure. The Y.M.C.A. now has the largest membership since 1914, although estimates are far from complete. Two fraternities in the college of liberal arts, Sigma Nu and Phi Kappa Psi, lead that college with practically every member signed. They have the best record made by any body or department [unreadable] the University. Engineers remain in the lead according to a percentage rating. The graduate college advanced to second place, and the school of medicine jumped to third. Membership cards will be given out at the meeting tonight to those new members who signed up not later than yesterday afternoon. WORK TO BE BEGUN ON INDOOR TRACK Iowa Squad Will Have Opportunity to Prepare for Quadrangle Contest Jack Watson will soon have his entire Hawkeye track squad working out on the cinder path underneath the gymnasium for an appropriation has been made for the purpose of putting the indoor track in shape. Supt. J.M. Fiske states that work of tearing up the board floor will start immediately, which means that it will not be long until the track squad will be conditioning itself for the coming meets. By practicing indoors the Iowa squad will be able to get ready for the state indoor meet at Ames March 1. Iowa, Ames, Drake, and Grinnell of the chief contenders for honors and the Hawkeyes should make a good showing. With but a green squad Coach Watson made an excellent showing in last year’s meet, later capturing the state meet at Des Moines. Conditions are far better this spring because most of the old men are back and several freshman stars are on hand to round out a well balanced varsity squad. The Iowa trainer has his weight men in training and it is a certainty that the Hawkeyes will not be lacking in this event. Slater, Mockmore, Killenger and Wallen compose a quartet that will be hard to beat. DENTS TO HEAR LECTURER Specialist to Tell of War Treatments for Injured Jaws Dr. George Villian, one time professor in the Ecole de Paris, who has seen for years’ service as an officer in the French army medical corps, will lecture on, “Treatment of War Injuries to Face and Jaws,” before the senior and sophomore dental students in the assembly room on the dental building Friday, Feb. 7. Dr. Villian will illustrate his lecture with stereoptican views and models of wounds before and after healing. So well did the French specialist present his subject to the members of the American Institute of Dental Teachers at the recent meeting at Atlanta, Ga., that the society persuaded him to make a tour from coast to coast lecturing before dental students in colleges and universities. Being on leave given him by the French government to assist in the teaching of post-war prosthesis, Dr. Villian consented, putting the University of Iowa well toward the top of his list. Madame Villian accompanies Dr. Villian on his tour. HARPIST, SALVI, HERE IN CONCERT TONIGHT Italian Musician of Wide Repute Visits City--Excite Much Favorable Comment University music lovers will hear the great harpist, Signor Alberto Salvi, in his first appearance here tonight at 8:30 at the natural science auditorium. Signor Salvi has been appearing recently in a number of Iowa cities and everywhere has he met with favorable comment from the press. His skill is the more remarkable, say University school of music people, in view of his extreme youth. Signor Salvi is only twenty-five and, besides gaining an enviable reputation both in Europe and our own country, has composed the grand opera “Count Verdi,” which was produced with much success. The music critic of the former Chicago American declared, after he had heard Salvi at the Chicago grand opera auditorium with Galli Curci, Steacciari, Arimondi, and Alma Peterson, that he had never heard such complete mastery of the harp. Remo Cortesi, critic on The Des Moines Register, wrote that he had never heard a harpist who approached the height attained by Salvi. His performance, Cortesi declared, was one of the most remarkable demonstrations of the possibilities of the harp ever given in the city. Because of the reputation he is known to have established and because it has been so long since a harpist has been heard on a University platform, Iowa City and University musicians put forth every effort to secure Salvi here for a concert. Through an open date they were able to get him. PROF. PATRICK TO LECTURE Prof. G.T.W. Patrick will talk on, “What is Philosophy?” At the freshman lecture today. Prof. W.E. Hayes will direct the singing the last ten minutes of the hour, accompanied by the freshman orchestra. Alpha Xi Delta announces the pledging of Lenore Osgood of Boone. IOWAN TO CONTINUE TO PUBLISH THREE ISSUES EACH WEEK Board Deems it Inadvisable to Publish Four Issues at Present Time ADVERTISING WILL NOT PAY Debts Are Being Paid Off to Put Iowan on Good Financial Basis Year A motion for publishing in the Iowan four times a week, was laid on the table until the March session of the Iowan board, at a meeting of its members, Tuesday night. Believing that the three issue basis of publication has been inadequate in presenting the maximum new service of the University, the administration has desired to give their patrons the benefit of an extra issue. Such a move at the present time, however, did not seem profitable because of the inevitable slump in advertising which is ever prevalent at the present time of year. At the beginning of the school year the subscription price was fixed at $2, which just covered the cost of three issues a week. Although the war is over, the price of print paper and composition has not decreased, and the expense of printing the paper is as much as it was October 1. Since the Iowan has been student-owned and managed it has gone quite deeply in debt. The present administration is attempting to pay this off and put the paper on a six-issue basis for next year with some chance of financial success. Although the Iowan has the largest subscription list this year that it has ever had, about 850 names, this number is not large compared with other schools which have student owned papers, since a number of such institutions compel students to subscribe. PROFESSOR NUTTING TELLS OF ANTIGUA “Life on the island of Antiqua was very interesting,” said Professor Nutting, in his lecture last evening in the natural science auditorium, “since the most primitive customs mark the type of people found there.” Vegetation is characterized by a large number of thorny plants, one plant of vast interest being the “wait a bit,” which catches on passers-by and makes them “wait a bit.” The island is much more picturesque than Barbados because of the thick jungle scenes and the many tropical plants. England has spent $25,000,000 in fortifying the harbor of Antiqua. All visitors are treated with much courtesy, especially by government officials, the speaker said. NOTICE Blank forms have arrived from the war department for enrollment of members of the senior division of the R.O.T.C. For further information call at military headquarters at the armory. CAPT. A.L. LANE. SPECIAL VESPER PROGRAM A special program of music is being arranged for the University vesper service Feb. 16. Prof. W.E. Hays will have charge of the singing and Dr. O.E. Van Doren of the orchestra. Part of the program is to be community singing.
