A CONVOCATION, PLEASE For an assembly, a convocation, The Iowan again sends up an appeal to the powers on high. University students have ever expressed deep gratitude that there was not inflicted upon them a daily compulsory chapel, the monotony of which could be avoided only by sharp fits of illness or by cleverly hatched schemes. But now they would welcome a daily prayer service for a week at least. The year is half gone and yet no sort of an assembly has been held. Iowa spirit is dying a quick death. Old grads remark upon it. Only last week in our open forum, a former athlete remarked upon it with sorrow. Professors denounce the lack of enthusiasm among students and compare the unfavorable with those of other institutions. Everyone realized it and is ready to complain about the matter, but does not seek to remedy it. For two or three enthusiasts to try to revive the real Iowa spirit would be pathetically useless. Enthusiasm, loyalty, and spirit are generated in crowds, and they are catching when numbers are thrown together; hence the mass meeting and the assembly. The most indifferent individual created could but be stirred at a hot, peppery mass meeting. That is their function; they take in the enthusiastic, the apathetic, and the lukewarm, and turn all of them out enthusiasts. The assembly is only the more dignified counterpart of the athletic mass meeting. There hearts are stirred by something more enduring than athletic prowess; the true spirit of the University is born again at each convocation. If tomorrow morning each professor should read to his classes an official notice of a University assembly to be held at 10 o'clock, even though the students knew it was to consist of nothing more than a song or two, and a warning to keep off the grass, the auditorium would be jammed to the doors within five minutes. The students want an assembly. They want to get together and point out the new professors to one another, to remark on the variety and the comparative beauty of spring hats, to see the ceremonious entry of speakers and singers, to sing University songs, that some scarcely know and others have forgotten, to feel budding within them the germ of Iowa spirit. Let us not wait for a renowned speaker to be put off the train at Iowa City; on our own faculty there are men who can far surpass many of the most expensive lecturers. Let us not wait until the term ends and we must gather together only to say goodbye to our fellow students as they receive their degrees. Let us have an assembly soon. A GOOD FIGHT Saturday night, Iowa and Ames meet again. The old fierce, but friendly struggle, for athletic supremacy will be resumed. In meeting the Aggies on the home floor this week Iowa faces a worthy foe. The State college five gave a remarkable demonstration of "come back" several weeks ago in the game with K. U. Ames had two games scheduled at Lawrence on consecutive nights. The Jayhawkers took the first game with ridiculous ease, 50 to 17. When the crowd was awaiting the opening signal for the second game, some one shouted. "All persons who expect Ames to win this game, please rise." One man in the whole gymnasium got to his feet. Then the Iowa Aggies showed their speed and beat K. U. five by one point in a fiercely fought contest. Every student knows how Iowa can come back. Ames, too, seems to have established that reputation this year. When the two meet, it's going to be worth witnessing. And when Iowa wallops the Aggies Saturday night, Iowa students will know that the Hawkeyes won the game, not from a five of small calibre, but from good fighters. WHAT OTHERS THINK Are You A Parasite? There are two kinds of students found in every institution of learning. They are the real Student and the Parasite. The Student carefully prepares his assignments and when he goes to class makes an honest recitation or writes a fair test. Not so with the Parasite. He spends the time he should devote to study in having a good time. During these hours of gaiety if he should come in contact with the student he styles him a grind and dismisses him from his mind until the next day when he meets him in the class room and appears to be his best friend, After offering numberless excuses for not preparing his lessons he succeeds in borrowing notes and obtaining all possible help from the so-called "grind." But it does not stop here. On test days the Parasite calmly opens his book and scans his neighbor's paper for the information which he needs. When the test papers are returned the Parasite often gloats over his "A" dishonestly won while the Student must perhaps be content with a "B" or a "C." But nevertheless he knows that it has been honestly earned. Are you a Student or a Parasite? C. M. W. FROM OVER HERE Dere Mabelle. Congratulations for coppin off the honors at the college. You must be some social bird. I'm not fer hurtin your feelin's any but don't ya think you'd have got more votes if you'd been out and out about it. I don't believe much in mysteries, Maybelle. I'd of thought they'dve put some "senior women" in your place and give you a chance to run with the rest of the women. I'm not sore 'bout it but just 'magine how many votes you might have got ef you'd only solicited like the rest of 'em. Then, Too, you wouldn't be crabbed through the mails the way you've been. Tell that senior women you wrote me about not to be sore at me cause I didn't know you were running for the dark horse championship any more than you did and that the fellows over here all wish the Hawkeye staff would put out a whole kennel of Campus dogs if there all like you. That's me too Mabelle. Yours mysteriously, BOGGINS Scholarship trophies are to be awarded again this year at Purdue. Competition promoted between the various organizations by this contest raises the scholastic standing of the university. Let The Iowan be your letter.
