PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Thursday, March 13 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 News editor Eileen Galvin Helen Hays Pink Sheet Editor Elizabeth Hendee Humorous editor Nancy Lamb Exchange editor Leon H. Brigham Sporting editor BUSINESS STAFF ROMOLA LATCHEM─Business manager Telephone 935; Office Hours─3-5 daily, 1-3 Iowa Ave Edward Chamberlain─Advertising Mgr. Night Editors Ruth Stewart Elizabeth Hendee "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came."─Lincoln A DISTRESSING SITUATION In a day full of lectures and library work, every minute counts. Especially now that spring is coming on, it is most exasperating to spend any more time indoors than is necessary for preparing lessons. A rebellious spirit arises in the breast of him who is compelled to wait five or ten minutes at the reserve or main desk of the library before he gets his book. He can not help feeling resentful against the library staff, the University, or mankind in general. Last year two persons at the reserve desk in the library were busy checking out books to students. This year the library seems just as full as ever─it's often impossible to find a chair─and only one person presides at the reserve desk. The rush between classes simply overwhelms her. The main desk, too, seems a little crippled. Often it is necessary to stand on one foot and lean on the desk for ten minutes before a librarian is ready to wait on you. Every year professors assign more library work. Textbooks are abandoned in this class and that, and all study is done from library books and magazines. With lessons for four or five courses to be prepared from reference books, the time a student spends each day in waiting to get the books he desires is not inconspicuous. The librarians do not seem at fault. They fly about at breakneck pace. It must be that they are too few in number to render the proper service. Let's have some one sent to their aid and to the aid of the students. SWIM FOR A DEGREE If someone were to throw the degree of a senior into the Iowa river and tell him to swim for it, could he do it? Could he grasp the thing so long sought for, or would he lack the ability to achieve it at last? In many schools each senior is required, figuratively speaking, to swim for his degree. Though all his work be satisfactorily completed, the priceless sheep skin is beyond his grasp until he is able to save his own life in the water. And what a commendable requirement that safeguards the life of the newly made graduate which has been broadened and improved through the years spent in college. Would such a scheme be amiss for our University? A QUEER SORT OF FABLE She was the University man-hater. He told her a week after he started to rush her that some day would kiss her. And thirteen weeks later he did it. "And was it really worth all that effort?" she asked lovingly. "It was worth more than you can ever know," he answered. And the next day he collected $79.95 from the bunch who had said it couldn't be done.─Sun Dial, New York Sun. SOCIETY AND PERSONAL Phi Kappa Psi will entertain at a dancing party at its chapter house at 830 North Dubuque street Saturday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard West and Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls Swisher will be the chaperons. News has been received here of the engagement of Aldura Haynes of Nora Springs, to Capt. William F. Hagerman of Minneapolis. Miss Haynes is a member of Gamma Phi Beta sorority and was a reporter on The Iowan last year. At present Miss Haynes is a member of the editorial staff of The Des Moines Capital. The engagement was announced at a luncheon at Younker's Monday, March 10. The wedding will be an event of early June. Etta Anthony, sophomore, has returned after a few days absence. She was called to Fort Madison last week by illness. C.E. Seashore, dean of the graduate college and head of the depart of psychology, left Tuesday night for Des Moines, where he was called by a committee of the state legislature to discuss the care of feeble-minded children. There will be no Varsity dance at Co. A armory Friday night on account of Junior Prom. advertisement Have you tried BANNER DAIRY LUNCH for a meal?
