White, editorial secretary of The Detroit News and recent lecturer in journalism at the University of Michigan, is coming to the University April 17 and 18 to lecture on journalism under the auspices of the graduate college and the course in journalism. Perhaps no man in the country has had more to do with the strengthening of the character of newspaper work or with raising of the standards of the profession than Mr. White. Taught Journalism Several years ago Mr. White was head of the department of journalism at the University of Washington. For a considerable time he has served on the national council of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, and at the present time is editor of The Quill, the fraternity's official publication. As secretary of the American Association of the Teachers of Journalism an organization of men engaged in teaching more than twenty-five universities where journalism is part of the curriculum, Mr. White is doing a service to the scholastic side of his profession. Wrote News' History He has carried on special studies on the economic conduct of the newspaper business and in particular a study of the news print question. He has also written a history of The Detroit News, a newspaper on which he has been a staff member for about eight years. While in Iowa City Mr. White will talk to the classes in journalism and will also give one public address on "Recent Research in Journalism." Sigma Delta Chi will have him as a guest and representative of the national council at the Founders' [?] banquet which will be held in his honor at the Hotel Jefferson April 17. - ZETS WIN CHAMPIONSHIP - [?] Team Loses in Final Debate By Two to One Vote - Zetagathian literary society won the championship debate Thursday evening in the natural science auditorium from Irving institute with a two to one decision by the judges. The question was: Resolved that the present policy of the government toward the railroads should be continued for a period of five years [?] the signing of the terms of peace. Irving upheld the affirmative and Zetagathian the negative. The Irving team was composed of Edward Chamberlin, D. Richard Young, and Frank Shuttleworth, white Earl Wells, Clarence Fackler, and Herman White made up the winning team. The debate was for the Wade prize of $25. Prof. J.H. Scott, Prof. J.F. Reilly, and Prof. A.O. Thomas were the judges. The debate was a close one and sound arguments were advanced by both sides. STUDENTS ARE CATALOGED - Committee for Loan Drive To Direct Canvass of All Students - A complete card catalog of the students of the University is being compiled by a committee, of which Luther Erickson is the chairman, working for the council of defense in the benefit of the Victory Liberty loan. The list is being compiled by Mr. Erickson with a large number of helpers at the Commercial club, and when finished will be distributed among the solicitors, who will canvass the entire student body. No quota has yet been set for the students. It is hoped that each student will buy at least a Baby Bond, which is a fifty dollar bond. This would mean about $125,000 from the University students. The committee expects a response from all the students since they were not solicited for the fourth liberty loan. - S.U.I. REPRESENTED ON STATE COMMITTEE - Shimek, Klingaman, Wade, and Mayer Are Chosen for Work in Americanization - Prof. B. Shimek of the department of Botany, O.E. Klingaman, director of the extension division, Judge Martin J. Wade, an alumnus, and Mrs. Max Mayer, a former student of the University, have been appointed on the state committee of Americanization by Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior. Other members of the committee for Iowa are: A. Clemens of Des Moines, chairman, Lars Bladine of Cedar Falls, Fred A. Canfield of Sioux City, W.P. Dawson of Aurelia, A.M. Deyoe of Des Moines, Judge Nathaniel French of Davenport, W. B. Keeline of Council Bluffs, the Rev. John C. Orth of Guthrie Center, F.E. Spaulding of Grinnell, Mrs. Frances Whitley of Webster City, and Lafayette Young Sr. of Des Moines. In speaking of the Americanization program, which Secretary Lane is now emphasizing especially, he said: "The war has left us, I believe, no greater duty than that of assimilating into full American citizenship the foreign born people who have chose to make America their home. It is obviously unwise to leave such assimilation to chance." It is expected by leaders of the Americanization movement that this plan of federal management of state committees will prove effective in making foreigners true Americans. - AGNES KINGSBURY WILL WORK ON KEOKUK PAPER Agnes Kingsbury of Tipton, senior, has secured a position with the Daily Gate City of Keokuk and will begin work immediately after graduation in June. Miss Kingsbury has been local correspondent for the Daily Times at Davenport and the Cedar Rapids Republican.

She has been on The Daily Iowan staff for three years. - KILDEE STILL UNCONSCIOUS Miles Kildee at the Mercy hospital is still in a serious condition.

IOWA TODAY ON HOME GROUNDS IN DELAYED GAME - Second of Series Postponed THree Times - Hawkeyes do not Go to Cedar Rapids - BELDING LIKELY TO PITCH - Game Starts at 3:30 on Grass Diamond - Lineup Will Not Vary Much From Previous Game - Iowa and Coe will hook up in the second of the four game series this afternoon at 3:30 providing the weather man sees fit. Today's mill was originally scheduled for Wednesday but rain and cold weather have caused it to be postponed three times. The Hawkeyes were to play in Cedar Rapids today but the weather has made it necessary to delay the home fans until today in their anxious desire to see the Hawks in a real contest. Coach Jones came an agreement late yesterday afternoon with coach Carrithers of the Coe team that the Coe nine should make the trip to Iowa City, since Iowa played on the Coe diamond last Saturday. It is more than likely that the third game will be played later on. Had the weather been favorable, today's game would be played in Cedar Rapids as the third game of the series. Rain Halts Practice Iowa's diamond has been a sea of mud and water throughout the week, making it impossible to practice. The team has been out one night since the Coe game, and too much cannot be expected from the Old Gold athletes. The same may be said of (Continued on page 4) FRENCHMAN TALKS TO POLITICS CLASS - Capt. Petigold on Tour for Council of Defence, Speaks in Behalf of French Army - Capt. Petigold of the French army talked to the class in world politics Friday morning in behalf of the French army, expressing their thanks and gratitude for what was done by the American soldiers and people during the war. Capt. Petigold is on a tour of the United States as a member of the council of defence and it is his purpose to impress upon the people the importance of going over the top in the next liberty loan. While at Camp Devens near Boston he was an instructor of American soldiers until he was called into active service in the Argonne forest. In speaking of the attitude of the French toward American soldiers, Capt. Petigold stated that the warmest of feeling exists between the two nations and that the statement that Europe is tired of the American soldiers is all folly. According to the captain the reception given to the first American soldiers to arrive in Paris excelled any reception ever given to an emperor. He also said that the defeat administered to the Germans was by far the greatest defeat in the history of military warfare, and that the French nation would never forget what the American people have done for them. In speaking of the league of nations the captain declared it would not be long until peace is assured.
