CITY ASKS STATE TO SHARE EXPENSE  Water Hydrants Now Benefit the University More Than Towns-people of Iowa City  That the University should stand its share of the expense on the fifteen or twenty water hydrants which serve as fire protection primarily for University buildings, is the opinion of the Iowa City Fire and Water committee.  The rapid growth of the University during the last fifteen years is responsible for the problem. When the city hydrants were installed over the city, the University occupied a comparatively small amount of territory. Consequently nearly all the hydrants at that time were of chief service to city property, and only incidentally served as protection for University buildings.  Now the numerous University structures are scattered over a large section of the city, and in many cases the hydrants have been practically surrounded by them, as the state has taken over city property for University sites until several hydrants are no longer of service to people of the city.  Every hydrant costs the city about $45 a year. According to the Fire and Water committee, there are between fifteen and twenty hydrants for the benefit of which, and the committee believes that the University or the state should bear the expense.  The hydrant question is the only feature of complaint. The city is entirely willing to fight any University conflagration free gratis.   BRUMFIEL TALKS AT BACONIAN CLUB  Dr. D. Brumfiel, instructor in histology, gave an illustrated lecture on "Color Changes in Animals" at the meeting of the Baconian club Friday night.  Among the slides were a number of original drawings, which were results of Dr. Brumfiel's observations of marine forms along the Atlantic coast.   Romola Latchem and Anita Bakewell, seniors in the college of liberal arts, will be the judges at the annual declamatory contest at Oxford next Wednesday evening.   ENGLISH VIOLINIST, ISOLDE MENGES, WILL APPEAR IN CONCERT  Music Council Has Secured Her to Come Thursday of Next Week   STUDIED UNDER AUER  Musical America and New York Times Highly Commend Her Power and Technique  Isolde Menges, world renowned English violinist, has been secured by the music council to appear in concert at the natural science auditorium, Thursday evening, Feb. 20.  Miss Menges was born in Brighton, England, where her father was director of the conservatory. After receiving her first instruction from him, she was sent to Petrograd to study under Leopold Auer, then soloist to the czar and imperial orchestra. She has played before critical audiences throughout Europe, Canada, and the United States.  When Miss Menges made her second appearance in Toronto, the audience rivaled in numbers those which greeted Mischa Elman and Josef Heifetz in recent concerts. The New York Times reported the following:  "Miss Menges is highly gifted and an accomplished violinist. She has a tone of great power, of emotional warmth and searching expressiveness that is almost eloquent of a glowing, and ardent temperament; an admirable technical equipment, energy and elasticity of bowing, a precision upon the fingerboard that maintains the accuracy of her intonation even through her most tempestuous outbursts. Her style is one of dashing impetuosity that is stirring and contagious."  "Musical America" writes: "The glow of her temperament stirs the most passive listener. Even in music requiring a calmness and pure simplicity of expression, the ardent sincerity of the young woman gains her a sympathy that might be with-held from others no less individual and strongly characterized. Hers is not specifically feminine playing, but it never lacks delicacy or tenderness when there is need for these elements."   PROF. LUEBKE WILL GO TO ILLINOIS COLLEGE  Assistant Professor W. F. Luebke of the German department, has resigned and gone to Illinois college at Jacksonville, where he has accepted the position as professor and head of the English department. Illinois college is the oldest college of that state.  Prof. Luebke obtained his B. A. degree at Northwestern college, M. A. at Wisconsin, and Ph D. at Chicago in 1911. He became assistant professor of German here in 1911.  Prof. Charles Bundy Wilson, head of the German department declares best that Professor Luebke is one of the best philologists in the country.  Professor Wilson, Prof. E. H. Lauer, and Helen M. Eddy, instructor of German in the University high school and formerly in the University will have charge of Prof. Luebke's classes.   Three University girls acted as officials at a girls' basket ball game at Wellman Friday night. Anne Hobbet refereed, Essie Atwood was time keeper and Isabel Nauerth linesman.  Philomathean literary society and the Octave Thanet will hold a joint meeting and program in the liberal arts drawing room at 7:30 Tuesday evening. All members of both societies are urged to be present.  [advertisement]  Spring Styles and Values That Will Hold Your Attention   THE NEW SUITS, COATS  DRESSES, SKIRTS AND WAISTS  [illustration of four women modeling the new suits, coats, dresses, skirts and waists]  now displayed in our Ready-to-Wear department are expressive of all that is readdy significant in the question of style, quality of materials and tailoring, and should make an immediate appeal to youthful women in search of elegance and individuality.  Every new idea developed is embodied in our spring line.  Something to please every young woman at a price she can afford including exclusive styles found only in more expensive garments. Ideas of charming originality that only the most optimistic a few months ago dared to dream would come forth from the spring designers.  See Window Display   YETTER'S  The Big Store   RELIGIOUS DELEGATES TO COME THIS WEEK  Representatives of the international committee of the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. and the Council of Church Boards of Education will be here Feb. 12 and 13.  David R. Porter, Miss Leslie Blanchard, and General Secretary Wilson of the University of Illinois will be delegates. Mr. Porter and Mr. Wilson come in the interests of the Y.M.C.A., while Miss Blanchard represents the committee of international Y.W.C.A.  The representatives will take up the problem of religious education and social work as it concerns the University. The Council of Church Boards is a result of a meeting held in Chicago the early part of January by the student pastors of the country.  Memberships are still coming in to the Y.M.C.A. There are still sixty signed cards out which are let to be returned. The new members who are interested in membership work will go to work immediately to recruit more members for the organization.  Last Thursday night the first meeting of the new members was held. The plan of work for the rest of the year was outlined in brief by the chairman of the committee and by Ronald Reed, president of the Y.M.C.A.   THE COLLEGE WORLD  The ski club of McGill university at Montreal will send a representation to Dartmouth for the annual winter carnival. Events consist of ski-jumping, ski-joring, cross country racing, and snowshoeing features.   Odd customs of university students are coming back into existence since pre-war conditions are now re-established. Purdue seniors must wear corduroy trousers as a distinctive feature of their garb. Green caps for freshmen is the decree of the student senate at Madison.   Princeton has made special dispensations for students returning from active service. If the remainder of the year's work is completed satisfactorily, full credit for the present year will be given. The quarter system adopted during the S.A.T.C. will be maintained.   Brown university at Providence, R. I., will not organize its R.O.T.C. this year on account of lack of interest in military drill.  After-dinner talks at the various fraternity, sorority, and club houses given by members of the faculty are being introduced at Purdue university. This plan gives an opportunity for faculty and students to meet socially, unrestrained by the necessary rules and customs of the classroom. Each organization entertains one faculty member a month.
