PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Thursday, April 3, 1919 THE DAILY IOWAN A morning paper published for the period of the war four times a week-Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 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 Associate Editor Ralph E. Overholser News Editor Eileen Galvin Exchange Editor Nancy Lamb Humorous Editor M. Elizabeth Hendee Sports Editor Leon H. Brigham 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 NAME AND FAME The literary folk of a generation back who quibbled over whether Shakespeare wrote Shakespears until poor William in another world must have longed for several pounds of their flesh had to accept the evidence that one piece of writing, at least, was undeniably his own, the rudely carved name on the desk at Stratford-on-Avon, that English city which literary pilgrams make their shrine. Right here at Iowa several geniuses are determined to prove that they lived and wrote (or sculptored) and so they haggle up the state's good furniture. Combinations of the Greek alphabet smack of training in the classics and will prove to future generations the learning of this age. Pencilled or carved home towns will be made immortal by their presence on wall and chair when posterity views the characters and symbols of its rude ancestors. Back in the country school, prestige was gained by the depth and size of initials cut on the desk and the fearless defiance of the teacher's command which the pursuit of such art demanded. But when grown to man's estate such defacing property seems childish and absurd. The Iowan has an idea that if a student would perpetuate his own name or that of his fraternity or birthplace, he might better concern himself with the business of learning. Some day then, if he rises to his opportunities, his name may be carved in stone or writ in the minds of men in characters unmistakeable. But, be that as it may, it must be a bit disgusting to tax payers to see such willful mutilation of property. Why, oh why, attack a poor defenseless one-armed chair with a knife and a desire to be immortal! Friend Shakespeare would term that "the most unkindest cut of all." THE STATUS OF WORLD POLITICS In regard to world politics, March went out like a lion; but perhaps the present furor is the storm before the calm, to reverse the old saying. The preparation of the peace treaty is, of course, the all-gripping problem before the world. It had been previously hoped that the treaty would be ready for signatures by the first of April, but evidently it will not be complete before the latter part of April. Peoples all over the world are becoming impatient at the delay. The world cannot breathe easily again until a treaty of peace is signed, and the nervous strain which long waiting is imposing upon the world, is displaying itself by a general irritability about everything and everybody. In the last two weeks, the Big Five has given away to the Big Four, and, at the present moment, England, France, Italy, and the United States are playing the leading roles in the world drama taking place in Paris. Numerous important question concerning the League of Nations have their decision hanging in the balance. What sort of a guarantee of the Monroe Doctrine will be incorporated into the League of Nations is yet undecided, but some general amendment will likely be the outcome of this problem. Japan's plan for racial equality is meeting with fierce opposition, and little, if any will be accorded to Japan, according to the latest news reports from Paris. The gigantic problems of the war, indemnity to be paid by Germany and of territorial boundaries are yet unsolved. Various delegates at the conference hold conflicting notions as to the basis for payment by the Central Powers. It seems, however, that an agreement will soon be reached upon this point. But of still more imminent importance is the settlement of the eastern and western frontiers of Germany. Alsace-Lorraine will undoubtedly return to France, but the destiny of the Rhenish provinces is still in the air, although now there seems to be an overpowering opposition to creating from them one or more buffer states between France and Germany. France is strongly contending to have the Rhine as the virtual military frontier of France, regardless of the possessor of that territory. In the east the line of demarcation between Poland and Germany has not yet been agreed upon. Germany is warmly protesting against the loss of any East Prussia, and the opening of a "corridor" to the sea for Poland. The Bolshevik menace is at its height. The allied countries are preparing to check its spread throughout Europe. Lenine, the leader of the Bolshevists in Russia, is rendering financial aid to the bolshevist uprising in Hungary. A world-wide revolution by the proletariat classes has never in human history loomed up so alarmingly, and what the outcome of the present world disorder will be, is difficult to predict. WHAT OTHERS THINK THE UNIVERSITY COUNCIL For a long time the student body of the University has felt the lack of a head or a mouthpiece through which to voice its opinions and express its attitude as a unit toward events and matters on the campus which vitally concerned it. There are the men's interfraternity council, the womens Pan Hellenic, A. F. I., and Staff and Circle, composed of representative men and women, the I club, women's league, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., and the forensic councils, all in part representing the student body, but none able to give out, as the chosen mouthpiece of the student body, its opinions and decisions. Should it desire otclose shop all over the campus to attend the Minneapolis Symphony concert, should it care to postpone dancing until 9:30 on the nights of athletic mixers in order that the whole school might attend, should it care to create spirit toward the abolishment of senior examinations, through which one of the groups named above, could it do so? None of them represents the entire campus; each one is inadequate. Feeling the need of a body that would represent the undergraduate group and express its will, a number of persons as representative of the campus as could be found immediately were organized into a University council. Its members at present are only temporary. They have not been chosen by the student body itself, and they do not intend to retain their positions. They are serving merely to organize the council more definitely and to work out the system for the election of future members by the students themselves. When the machinery has been started and the undergraduate body has chosen its own representatives, this provisionary council will return to make way for the new one. Then will the University council be "by the students, of the students, and for the students." THE UNIVERSITY COUNCIL. JUBILEE POSTPONED The date of the All Fools' jubilee has been changed from April 5 to April 26. Mary Kinnavey of Davenport, Mary Dallas of Mechanicsville, and Blanche Inman Smith of Nashville, Tenn., are visiting at the Alpha Xi Delta house. Mrs. Nellie S. Aurner, dean of women, who is ill at Mercy hospital, is reported as improving. Northwestern University Law School Founded 1859 JOHN H. WIGMORE, Dean Announces Third term opens Monday, March 31; fourth term, Thursday, June 19th. Now students may enter at beginning of either term. Increase in Requirements for Admission and Graduateion Admision: After September 1, 1919, students entering for the first time will be required to submit proof of the satisfactory completion of three years of college study.

Keep Your Boys At Home Thousands of soldiers from overseas and training camps are, after brief visits to their home towns flocking to the big cities in hopes of getting jobs and enjoying for a change a taste of the big city life. It develops, however, that few of these men are getting jobs. The cities have their own quotas of returning men to take care of and are giving them preference. The result is that the labor market in the larger centers is already glutted. Men without jobs or money are walking the streets hungry. Begging and crime are on the increase. This is bad for the boys and bad for the big towns and the remedy is simple. Keep your boys at home-see that they are given the facts about the situation in the larger centers. It is the plain duty of every citizen to interest himself in this matter.
