     Initiation and installation of officers took place at Reichardt's pavilion Saturday evening. A banquet followed these ceremonies. Table decorations carried out the Nu Sigma Phi colors, green and white. White roses, smilax, hyacinths, and white candles with green shades were used.
     The charter members are Dr. Frieda Hirschberg of the department of clinical microscopy; Dr. Laura H. Branson, Iowa City practitioner; Dr. Veronica Murphy Pennington, a recent graduate; Bonnybel Artis, freshman medic. Roletta Jolly, a pre-medic student, was pledged.

     Guests from out of town who came to install the chapter were Dr. Sohpia Brumbach of Chicago, Dr Jennie Ghrist of Ames, and Dr. Edna Sexsmith of Greenfield, Iowa.
     Dr. Brumbach, a graduate of Rush medical college, has given up her practice for three years in order to devote her entire time to Red Cross work. She has been active in the work of the Daughters of the British Empire, the American Red Cross, and the national defense council. D. Sexsmith, a graduate of Illinois medical college, received her B. A. degree at this University.
PHILO DEFEATS ZET IN PRELIMINARY DEBATE
     Philomathean's sophomore debating team defeated the team of Zetagathian society in the preliminary sophomore debate by a 2 to 1 decision Friday night..
     The Philo team, composed of A. B. Cannon, Chester Awe, and Joseph Tamisiae affirmed the proposition that "Immigration into the United States should be prohibited for a period of five years after the signing of the peace treaty, excepting Cubans and Canadians, constitutionality granted." The Zet team consisting of George Wilimek, Alan Rockwood, and H. H. Mott, debated the negative of the question.
     Professor H. G. Plum, E. H. Lauer, and C. L. Robbins judged the contest.
MUMMA FAVORS EXTRA DRILL
     Col. Morton C. Mumma stated that the two hours of drill from 9 to 11 yesterday morning greatly strengthened his belief that two consecutive hours of drill should be given cadet units each week.
     The drill was divided into four periods of 30 minutes each.
ATTEND DISTRICT MEETINGS
Several Professors Address State Teachers Association
     Several members of the faculty of the University were on the programs of the district meetings of the Iowa State Teachers' association.
     Dean W. F. Russel and Prof. Forest C. Ensign spoke at the twin programs of the northwestern district held at Sioux City and Fort Dodge, March 20, 21, and 22. Dean Russell and Prof. E. E. Lewis spoke at Red Oak at the meeting of the southwestern district the last week in March.
     Prof. Ernest Horn and Prof. F. H. Potter addressed the southeastern convention at Muscatine which met April 3, 4, and 5. Dean Russell, Professor Horn, and Prof. F. E. Goodell spoke at both Des Moines and Waterloo the past week. The central district meeting at Des Moines Thursday, Friday, and Saturday had President W. A. Jessup, Prof. E. E. Lewis, Dr. Clara Town, and Miss Sara M. Stinchfield on its  program; while Dr. E. D. Starbuck, and Dean Kay were at Waterloo.
CONCERT AND PLAYLET FEATURE AT COLFAX
Journalists From Twenty Colleges of State To Attend College Press Convention
     The Coe college women's glee club will give a short concert Saturday afternoon at the college press association's annual meeting which will convene in Colfax next Friday afternoon. This along with the production of Stephen Leacock's "The First Newspaper" by the Ames dramatic club will add a touch of variety to the program of speeches, conference, and discussions.
     Iowa's delegation will leave here Friday morning at 7:45 o'clock. It is likely that Coe's representatives will be here in time to join the Iowans. Advance "dope" gives Ames a shade in the matter of attendance, although Iowa, Grinnell, and possibly one or two other schools will be not far behind. The staff of the Ames alumni magazine, "The Ames Maid," will go to Colfax in body from Des Moines, from which place the publication is issued. At least twenty colleges of the state will be represented.
     The changes made in the program have been chiefly in the way of additions. A. W. Peterson of Waterloo has been called east and his place on the program will be taken by D. W. Norris of the Marshalltown Times-Republican or W. E. Battinfield, editor of the Des Moines News. The playlet by the Ames dramatic club and the concert by the Coe women singers are the most important additions. Captain Norman Hall, famed American aviator, has notified the president of the organization that he will talk for the college journalists if he is in the west at that time. He has a position in Boston, however, and he is not being relied on for a speech, although it is highly possible that he will deliver. There will be a large number of visitors from among the newspaper men of the state.
IOWA WINS FROM COW TEAM: SCORE 5-2
HAWKEYES OVERCOME 2 TO 0 LEAD IN SIXTH INNING AND WIN FIRST CONTEST
     Coach Jones' Hawkeyes captured the first baseball engagement of the 1919 season yesterday afternoon when they took the Coe College nine into camp by a 5 to 2 count. The game was played on Coe field at Cedar Rapids. Until the sixth inning, the Parlor City team lead Iowa 2 to 0, but a rally in the Hawkeye's half of the sixth tied the score. During the remaining three innings, the Old Gold men managed to garner three more runs.
     Victory came as a result of Hamilton's steady twirlling and the work of Crawford at the bat. "Hammy" allowed but four hits and pitched well for so early in the season. He remained in the box throughout the nine innings. Luce appeared in the back stop position for Iowa.
     Crawford, center field for Jones' aggregation, copped high slugging honors by poling out three beautiful singles. His work with the stick was largely responsible for Iowa's win. Coe comes here for the second game of the series Wednesday, April 9.
Lineup for yesterday's game:
Iowa (5) Coe (2)
Brown (c) lf. McCreedy
Crawford cf. Downey
Parrott rf. Mohrbacher
Olson 1-b West
Irish 2-b Barvinek
Ered ss. McKeever

Ells Club Elect Weidlein Captain and Plan Canoe Race
     Tennis courts are being put in shape so that all students wishing to play tennis may do so this coming week.
     E. G. Schroeder has announced that he has arranged for a tennis meet with Chicago to be played in May, the date has not yet been decided upon definitely.

     At a meeting of the members of the swimming team, Ivan Weidlein was elected captain for next year. Coach Armbruster wishes to announce that the Eel club will put on a canoe race this spring, a silver cup being awarded to the winner. There is also a good prospect of there being a water carnival, but the date has not been set for this event.
WOMEN'S SOCIETIES CHOOSE DEBATERS
Erodelphia May Not Take Part in Annual Contest for Silver Loving Cup
     All women's literary societies except Erodelphian have selected teams for the annual debate, May 6.
     The question for debate, "Resolved that the United States enter the League of Nations, constitutionality granted," was considered at the last meeting of the Women's Forensic council as being too broad, and therefore was changed to a more definite subject, "Resolved, that the entrance of the United States into a League of Nations would be a departure from the principle of Washington's farewell address and as such should not be approved."
     The plan begun last year, whereby the six debates are held on the same night, each society having two teams and the society receiving the largest number of points winner of the silver loving cup, will be carried out again. In case there is a tie, these eamts will debate at a later date.
     All freshman girls were required tryout and many upperclass members participated. Erodelphian society has not yet decided whether to take part in the inter-society debate, and for this reason the program for the debates can not be given out now.
     The society teams are as follows:
     Athena-Helen Mackintosh, Marian H. Smith, Frances Garris, Malvina McKenna, Helen Wyllie, and Nellie Ogle.
     Hesperia-Dorothy Banks, Bessie Tye, Ida Paule, Margaret Brady, Lucille Everett, and Ruth Rogers.
     Octave Thanet-Mildred Freburg, Mrs. Laurel Lee Isaac, Anne Hobbet, Mary Stuart, Marguerite Clark, and Evelyn Bickett.
     Whitby-Ella Schmock, Louise Dorweiler, Juliette McIntosh, Jennie Parr, Marcella Lindeman, and Hermina Dorweiler.
