VICTORY LOAN DRIVE NEAR FOR UNIVERSITY
Five German Helmets Will Be Awarded - University Quota is $50,000
   Monday morning will see the beginning of the huge drive among University students to subscribe the goal of $50,000 for the Victory loan. 
   Under direction of the committee in charge of the campaign, an intensive canvass of the student body will be made. Several interesting plans for selling have been worked out by the committee, according to D. Richard Young, chairman.
   An appealing feature will be the awarding of German helmets to individuals and organizations especially successful in buying and selling bonds. These are dress helmets designed to be worn on the German entry into Paris. They will be on display in the window of Coast and Sons. 
   Five helmets are to be awarded as follows:
   1. To the University student making the largest subscription. 
   2. To the man member of the University Victory Loan committee, or of any sub-committee securing the largest amount..
   3. To the woman who secures the largest amount in subscriptions. 
   4. To the fraternity subscribing the largest amount, including individual subscription, and a subscription by the fraternity as a whole.  
   5. To the sorority which subscribes the largest amount. 

ENGINEERS MUST PASS STATE EXAMINATION
New Law Provides That State Board Will Examine and Issue Certificates
   All engineers and land surveyors must pass an examination by a state board and be issued certificates to practice before they can commence work in their profession, as a result of a bill that has just passed both houses of the Iowa legislature. 
   The board is to consist of five members appointed by the governor of the state. The expenses of the board will be met by examination and registration fees. Severe penalties are provided for the practice of engineering without a certificate from the board which is given further power to revoke any certificate in case a person may become incompetent. Engineering plans and reports must bear the official seal with the registered number of the engineer. 
   Such a measure is expected to standardize the profession of engineering and should result in an increased reliability in engineering publicity. The public will benefit a great deal by having genuine assurance against incompetent engineers, which in turn should result in a considerable saving in the expenditures made in both public and private construction. 
   Engineers who have practiced at least two years in the state may register and be granted a certificate without taking an examination, within six months after the act goes into effect. 
   The new law exempts employees working solely for an individual corporation; engineers at present under contract; United States government employees; assistants of registered engineers; the operators of mechanical plans; those engaged in strictly private work such as drainage; and surveyors engaged in subdividing land where no controversy is involved.

Every student a bond owner.  

RESOLUTIONS OF FACULTY
   We, the members of the faculty of the college of liberal arts of the State University of Iowa, feel deeply bereaved in the death of our friend and colleague, Professor Isaac A. Loos, of the department of economics and sociology, and we wish to put on permanent record an expression of our grief and our feeling of irreparable loss. 
   For nearly thirty years Professor Loos has served the University and his service has been constant and untiring. By his highly successful classroom work he has enriched the lives of a great number of students of many consecutive classes, and in this relation he has endeared himself to a very large body of students and graduates throughout the state and the country. 
   He had, in a marked degree, the three essential of a good teacher: scientific method, scholarship, and the ability to arouse enthusiasm for study and research.
   Those of us who are members of the Political Science club, of which he was one of the founders and prime movers, will miss his presence there; his instructive and scholarly papers, and his keen and discriminating criticisms, and we shall all miss him in all the varied activities of our University life - social, instructional, administrative, and scientific. 
   Owing to his long service to the University through the formative period of its history, we regard Professor Loos as one of the makers of this institution. It this fact of the death of one of our leaders, as well as our own personal friendship and attachment, that causes a common feeling of grief and a deep sense of loss to pervade both the University and the community at this time. 
   We direct that this expression of respect for Professor Loos, and our deep sorrow at his death, be inscribed on the records of the Faculty and that a copy thereof be sent to his bereaved family. 
           Signed,
          G.T.W. PATRICK

IOWA TEAMS LEAVE FOR DRAKE RELAYS
   Jack Watson and his two relay teams left yesterday afternoon for Des Moines to enter the Drake relays there to-day. Little is known of the other teams competing in the meet this year, but if there is no more rain to soften the track, some record time is expected. 
   Several schools which Iowa will compete against later in the season are sending teams to Des Moines. Minnesota is entering a quartet in the half mile relay and a man in the special 100-yard dash. Coe has entered a half mile, a mile, and a two-mile team. Ames will send teams to enter the four mile, mile, two mile and possibly the half mile relays. Cornell is sending a mile and a two mile team. 

PRESIDENT T.H. MACBRIDE TO PUBLISH NEW BOOK
   President Emeritus Thomas H. Macbride is busy at his office in the old science building doing research work in micology, the study of fungi. His work is largely with slime-moulds, his specialty. He intends to publish the results of his research in a second edition of his book, "North American Slime-moulds."
   Persons from various parts of the country send Dr. Macbride specimens of slime-mould and fungi. He has them carefully preserved in hundreds of boxes in the old science building. The University probably has the largest collection of fungi of this sort in existence. Dr. Macbride expressed his wish for a fire-proof building in which to keep this valuable material.

LOAN CANVASS BRINGS EXCELLENT RESULTS
   Early canvasses of the city and student body for the fifth liberty loan are bringing pleasing and surprising results, declared Dr. C.H. Weller. Col. Morton C. Mumma reports that one city sergeant has completed the canvassing of his district and has 100 per cent subscriptions. Every man who subscribed took more bonds than during the fourth loan campaign, although the quota for this loan in only three-fourths of the quota of the previous one. A second city sergeant has almost completed his canvass and every person he has visited so far has purchased the amount of bonds assigned to him.
   Dr. C.H. Weller, director of the loan in this country, requests that all student and city subscriptions taken before the campaign begins, be dated for Monday, April 21.

COMMERCIAL MUSEUM GIVEN NEW EXHIBITS
  Two new exhibits have recently been received by the commercial museum from the Pacific mills, Lawrence, Mass. One exhibit shows the different stages in the manufacture of the wool into cloth, and the other shows the different stages in the manufacture of cotton.
   The commercial museum of the University is one of the best in the United States. It consists of a very large number of exhibits and is being used not only by the students in the school of commerce, but also by students in other departments of the University and in the University high school and elementary schools.
   One of the most important and interesting exhibits is a portion of a pine tree which shows both the old and new methods of securing turpentine and rosin.
