PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Tuesday, February 25, 1919 THE DAILY IOWAN A morning paper published for the period of the war three times a week- Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday- by The Daily Iowan Publishing company at 103 Iowa avenue, Iowa City Member Iowa College Press Entered as second class matter at the post office of Iowa City, Iowa Subscription Rate $2.00 per year BOARD OF TRUSTEES C.H. Weller, chairman, Gretchen Kane, secretary. E.M. McEwen, E.S. Smith, Alice E. Hinkley, M. Elizabeth Hendee, Mary Anderson EDITORIAL STAFF MILDRED E. WHITCOMB, Editor-in-chief Telephone, Black 1757; Office Hours - 8-12; 1-6 daily, Room 14, L.A. Building Rowena Wellman - Managing Editor Ruth Rogers News Editor Helen Hays Pink Sheet Editor Elizabeth Hendee Humorous Editor Nancy Lamb Exchange Editor Leon H. Brigham Sporting Editor BUSINESS STAFF ROMOLA LATCHEM - Business manager Edward Chamberlain - Advertising Mgr. Telephone 935: Office Hours 3-5 daily, 103 Iowa Ave "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came." - Lincoln Night Editors Beth Wellman Ruth Rogers ALL OUT EARLY This morning from ten to twelve the first convocation of the year will be held at the natural science auditorium. This assembly combines two of the most notable occasions of the institution, the granting of degrees and the anniversary of the University. Both deserve your presence. On faculty members and students alike rests the responsibility to attend. A few students are wont to view convocation as a monetary weakness on the party of the faculty to be taken advantage of in some pleasurable enjoyment, so they go astrolling or have a tete-a-tete in a sunny window. A proportionate number of instructors and professors believe themselves modest in remaining in their offices and denying themselves a place in the academic profession and a seat on the stage. All such individuals should be in disrepute. Then there are unselfish individuals who doge convocation because the auditorium will not seat everyone. Others are disgruntled bacause townspeople, they aver, come early and take the good seats, so it is useless to try to see or hear anything. A million excuses can keep a person away from convocation, and then they never know what they miss. The N.S. Auditorium should be packed to the doors this morning. The speakers are known to be of ability, the music will be peppery, and Iowa spirit will float like incense on the air. Get there early. CARNEGIE LIFE STUDIED Senate Committee is Considering Insurance Project Insurance experts at the University are investigating the Carnegie Foundation life insurance. A faculty senate committee of which Prof. C.C. Nutting of the zoology department is the chairman will make a report after a thorough consideration of the matter. The Carnegie insurance is for the benefit of teachers in colleges and universities. It claims to offer a cheaper and more advantageous form of insurance than that offered by commercial companies, because the overhead charges are met by the Carnegie foundation. However, it presupposes that the college or university carries a proportion of the premiums. There is no reason to expect that the University will do this according to the members of the committee. NOTICE The ticket committee of Katcha-Koo will meet Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Y.W.C.A. room. TRACK MEN PREPARE FOR INDOOR MEET Possibility of :10 Flat Record in Hundred Yard Dash Being Broken This Year In preparation for the indoor meet to be held at Ames, March 8, Jack Watson is rushing the completion of the new track in the armory and is rapidly rounding the men into condition. Since the track team of the present time really began only last year, none of the records set in former years have been broken. Lawrence Dutton in 1916 fell short of the record made by M.N. Alderman in the discus throw only two inches. There is a possibility of the record being broken in the 100-yard dash this year, but although there is much good material in the other events, the high records set in other years are not likely to be shattered. The different events with holder of record and time are as follows: 100 yard dash - J.V. Crum.........10 220 yard dash - J.V. Crum..21, 4-5 440 yard dash - C. Parsons... 50 3-3 Half mile run - C.

Or maybe you think the Ranney library is the most solitary place you have heard of. The story is about that its librarian narrowly escaped swooning one day when she heard footsteps actually entering the door, but that she hastily recovered when she recognized the intruder as a member of the Iowan staff.
