Ellis Preside--Fellow Students Attend Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon for Juan J. Valdes, Filipino liberal arts student, who died at the University hospital Sunday night of Pulmonary tuberculosis. The services which were held at the chapel of the Hohenschuh mortuary at 4 o'clock, were in charge of the Rev. Sylvester E. Ellis. Prof. Benjamin Shambaugh spoke in behalf of the students and the faculty. Members of The Daily Iowan staff and of the Cosmopolitan club, and the fellow country men of Mr. Valdes attended in a body. LECTURE TO BE GIVEN BY PROF. A. H. FORD Prof. A. H. Ford will give the fourth of a series of lectures on engineering problems on the subject of "Electrical Engineering" this morning in the physics lecture room at 10 o'clock. It was his original intention to give this discussion at the Pastime and to give illustrations with moving pictures, but the failure of the films to arrive necessitated a change in his plans. During his talk he will speak of some of the projects now under way and the connection the electrical engineer will have in their development. ALL SENIOR WOMEN TO HOLD MEETING Purpose Is Discussion of Senior Women's Week--Will Decide Upon May Breakfast Every University woman in the senior class of 185 students and most of the 185 are women are requested to come to the senior women's meet this afternoon at 5 o'clock in the liberal arts assembly room. Ideas for Senior Women's week are wanted and wanted badly. That every woman in the senior class should have in the memory book of her mind a clear picture of "Who's Who" among her classwomen is the primary aim of the week. Next week and the week following will be stressed as the logical time for the proposed functions. "We are waiting to see when the senior women want it", said Magdaline Grimm yesterday in discussing the annual May breakfast given by the Y. W. C. A. Consequently every senior woman present at the meeting this afternoon may cast her vote for the time and place of this annual All-University festival. A senior women's tea, the senior breakfast, class picnic, senior movies, and an all-senior day in all colleges are other suggestions for discussion today. It is hoped that everyone will agree to the holding of a senior dance in the evening. Realization by every woman that she is a factor in the closer union of her class and the promotion of a more ideal University spirit should make her drop every other duty to be present at today's meeting, is the thought of Lillian Prentiss class president, in calling the meeting. PROF. THOMAS TALKS ON THE WEST INDIES Prof. A. O. Thomas gave an illustrated account of his trip to the West Indies, last night at 7:30 in room 108 of the old science building. The geological features of the places visited were discussed and the geography, climate, people, plants and animals were briefly described. About 100 slides were shown to illustrate the nature and extent of the plant and animal life. Among these was an interesting group of corals dug from the ocean at a depth of forty feet. Crayfishes and other forms of animal life common to the islands also were shown. PROF. CHESKIS MARRIES News has come to University friends of the marriage of Prof. J. I. Cheskis, an instructor in the department of romance languages here last year. No particulars were given. Professor Cheskis is teaching at the University of Michigan this year. VICTORY BALL FIRST FORMAL PARTY WITH GYM FLOOR WAXED A Few Tickets Are Yet Unsold And May Be Secured Now At Whetstones' PROGRAMS READY FRIDAY Two Victory Arches, Lattice Work, and Military Decorations To Predominate Programs for the military ball may be secured at Whetstone's Friday noon, Chairman James A. Hollingsworth stated yesterday. The announcement last week that the floor was to be waxed resulted in a scramble for tickets. The floor will be waxed tonight. It was necessary to call in all unsold tickets from the committee Tuesday evening to check up the total sold. Those that were left under the limit of attendance are now available at Whetstone's. Decorations for the ball are along new and novel lines. There will be four "cozy corners," curtained off by lattice work and a wall of folage and flowers. Two large victory arches, connected by latticed fences, form a new scheme of side adornment. The University service flag, shields, American flags and eagles will give the true military atmosphere to the party. Art Thorwick, who does most of the decorating for the larger University dances, has charge of that part of the preparations. Natural foliage from southern Alabama, twinning luxuriantly through the other decorations, will temper the military atmosphere with the lighter mood of spring. LAWS OPPOSE PLAN TO COMPEL TRAINING Mumma and Rienow Present the Question Before the Iowa Law Student Association The Iowa Law Student association met yesterday afternoon to discuss the question of universal physical training, as it was suggested to representative students at a meeting Tuesday night. Col. Morton C. Mumma and Dean Robert Rienow were invited to attend this meeting to present the proposition to the association. Col. Mumma spoke in favor of increased athletic facilities. He presented the question of systematically supervised daily participation in massed athletics and games, these activities to occupy five hours of the student's time each week. Dean Rienow spoke in favor of the Student welfare fee. The question of increased facilities to meet the demand for increased participation in athletics was discussed and favored by Dean McGovney. The sentiment of the association in general is opposed to the question of five hours a week physical training for professional students, if the plan as proposed by the authorities is for compelling this physical training. Most of the men seem to favor both the student welfare fee and the increased facilities for athletics. Ethel Tiffy is at Ottumwa attending a library meeting this week. COSMOPOLITAN BAZAAR TO BE HELD SATURDAY Oriental novelties of various kinds, including a mandarin cloak, an Oriental breakfast robe, wicker work, fans, tassels, odd boxes and contrivances will be on exhibition and for sale at the international bazaar to be held by the Cosmopolitan club at the women's gymnasium Saturday evening, May 10, at 7:30. Dancing has been provided for in the mirror room, and Hawaiian refreshments will be served. This bazaar is being held for the purpose of raising funds to enable the national cosmopolitan club to send a delegate to Europe to reestablish cosmopolitan clubs in the various countries. SOCIAL COMMITTEE ELECTION MAY 16 Candidates Must File Petitions With Committee on Elections by May 14 The general election of student members of the University social committee will take place Friday, May 16 instead of May 9 as formerly stated. After 1919 three seniors and three juniors will be elected soon after the opening of school in the fall, but at this special election to inaugurate the new system, three juniors and three sophomores will be elected because of the long term of service before the first regular election. Each candidate must present a petition signed by thirty-five members of his own class to the committee on elections, with a statement from the registrar's office that he or she is a member, in good standing of the class represented. Expense of printing ballots will be met by the candidates. Petition blanks may be secured at the offices of the Dean of Women and Dean of Men. All petitions of candidates must be in the hands of the committee on elections by 6 p. m. May 14. The committee on elections will consist of one senior from each college, appointed by their respective deans. Determination of hours and places of voting as well as other details of the election will be arranged by this committee. Vacancies among student representatives on the committee will be filled by special election called by the committee on elections. WILL INSTRUCT CANOEISTS Demonstration Will Include Capsizing and Meeting The Emergency Timid canoe enthusiasts will receive some real instruction and the expert canoeist may get a number of pointers at the canoe demonstration to be given this evening at 7:30 in the men's gymnasium, according to "Dad" Shroeder, director of physical education for men. David Armbruster, men's swimming instructor, and Alvin Hanapel will handle the canoe. Instructions will inclued getting in and out of the canoe, handling the paddle, and meeting emergencies. The feature of the demonstration will be the capsizing of the canoe and what to do when the canoe is upset. Delta Zeta announces the pledging of Veronica Zettler of Gainesville, Tex. PLAN FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM GIVEN TO STUDENTS Faculty Committee Presents Plans for Enlarged Program to Affect Every Student STUDENTS MUST DEMAND IT Success of New Program Depends on Increase in Tuition Fees of Students Mental pictures of a mammoth stadium, dozens of tennis courts, ice skating rinks, new baseball diamonds, and other expansive facilities for athletics changed the hostile feeling borne by representatives of many organizations and colleges to the new physical educaiton program into a favorable attitude. Of the 100 students present at the meeting Tuesday night, the sentiment was almost unanimously in accord with the new plan, providing the "hour a day" physical education did not come out of the student's spare time. The meeting, presided over by Col. Morton C. Mumma, chairman of the committee in charge of the plan, was given over to explanations and reactions to the plan by prominent faculty members and students. The new program outlined by Colonel Mumma would include in addition to physical exercise for all students, the procuring of great musical artists for the University of the finest orators, of clinics where students might receive medical attention free of charge. All student extra-curricular activities would be stressed. The immediate expense of such a program would be met in the main by an addition to the tuition fee of perhaps $5 for each term, which would include admission into all games and contests. The vastly increased expenditure necessary for the program to be completed would undoubtedly be met by the legislature in the opinion of the faculty men, if the students evinced sufficient interest in promoting the program. President Jessup in his talk gave a glimpse of the history of physical education in the schools, showing the great change which had come since in 1828, when a student was expelled from Harvard for bringing a canoe with him on the grounds that "no student should keep a domestic animal," until the present time. Dean George F. Kay, himself an athlete in his college days, spoke on the good effect he thought this general program would have on scholastic efficiency. All speakers stressed the emphasis which the war had brought on physical fitness. Prof. R. B. Wylie spoke on the benefit from intra-mural sports and Prof. Claude Horack, representing the athletic board, pictured Iowa at some future date at the top of the Big Ten conference as a result of such a program. Coach Jones spoke his endorsement of the plan. For the students Ronald Reed, Robert Aurner, Alvin Hanapel, Lawrence Block, Harry Ehred, Leonard March, and Stewart Holmes presented objections and approval. Student support of the movement would be assured, was the concensus of opinion, if time would be allowed from studies for such work and students were given some leniency in choosing the hour they wished to take such exercise. Miss Marion Lyon presented the women's side of the question.
