PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Sunday, March 16, 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. WHITCOME, 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, 103 Iowa Ave Edward Chamberlain - Advertising Mgr. Night Editor Ethyn Williams "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came." - Lincoln. THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS Our junior senator, Mr. W.S. Kenyon has recently voiced the sentiment of the liberal and fair minded thinking men of our nation on the larger aspects of the League of Nations. Mr. Kenyon believes in a League of Nations because he knows the utter futility of alliances and the balance of power to secure peace to a weary world. He seems to have no fear for our Monroe doctrine probably because he recognizes the fundamental purpose of a league is to emphasize the importance and security of that doctrine whether in America or elsewhere. He knows, too, that our foreign policy is bigger than that doctrine and that as a result of our tremendous increase in trade and commerce and the fact that we have in a measure reached the end of our exploitation of virgin American territory we must become a part of the great trading world. The objections one frequently hears urged against the League pertain almost exclusively to details. But even in these there is a considerable misunderstanding. When one considers a very few incidents in our history, our participation in world colonial congresses, our voice in colonial or territorial settlements like Samoa, the Hawaiian islands, the Philippines, and many others it is not difficult to recognizes that the world field is not altogether new even to the United States. Mr. Kenyon must admit that the questions which he raises of our being outvoted and the mandatory activity are after all of small and selfish consequence as compared to the main problem. W.P. CLEAN UP THE CAMPUS If there is a spark of truth in the old adage that cleanliness is next to godliness, the campus of our University must be the back yard to hades. Anyway it's a long way from heaven. Relics of army parties, S.A.T.C. teas, are to be seen on all parts of the campus. The areas before the entries to University buildings are littered with unsightly accumulations of tobacco refuse. Doubtless an interested geologist might excavate "butts" laid to red by the ancestors of "roll your own" in years gone by. We should take pride in our small but beautiful campus and give it a thorough renovating. Refuse cans should be placed near the entrance ways to accommodate the gentlemen who must have the last whiff of a cigarette before entering class. Clean up the backyard and transform it into the front yard. Make it one of which we may be proud. What's the greatest thing in life? Sunday morning. No eight o'clocks. Just Sunday School. WHAT OTHERS THINK On account of the confusion of last fall and the inability of the student body to get together, it was impossible to elect a University "yell leader." In previous years Iowa has always boasted of one or more men who have given their time in order that our athletic teams could be encouraged by good organized cheering. These men never received any recognition for their services but they accomplished much for the reputation of the school. Why shouldn't we have a "yell leader," who would receive some recognition, say a sweater with a monogram on it, for his good work? Other schools in the conference show some consideration to the man who leads the cheering. Any one who has played on any of the varsity teams can tell you what a help it is to them to hear good organized cheering and to know that the school is backing him to the last man. The "yell leader" could also have control over the crowd and some of the hissing and ragging of officials and visiting teams, which has been prominent during the past season, could be eliminated. From this standpoint it seems as if the election of a "yell leader" would be a good thing. The students of the University are the ones who must make the reputation for the school. Our athletic teams may gain a great deal by their victories, but our reputation will suffer from the conduct of students at the games unless some method is adopted to control the feelings of the crowd. Why not vest this power in an elected "yell leader?" Varsity, 1919 The University girls who allowed the strange fellows to escort them home the other night will be around to the office next week with a "Jack the Peeper" story. While the police are being censured, and the men of the town accused, a few girls should come in for their share of the blame. Apropos of the editorial on "Three Bells" which appeared in this modest column the other morning, one of our readers remarked, "I plainly see there is need of striking reforms." That is our idea aptly put. The old needle in the haystack search looses strength in comparison with the girl who lost "his pin" among the cigarette stubs at the south end of liberal arts. When St. Mary's clock strikes it is a sign you are early. When the City hall timepiece chimes out you are late. When the University bell rings, if you are in the class room where you should be, you'll never hear it, if you are a block away from the campus, you needn't hurry; you have a good excuse.
