[Top of column 3] MARTIAL SETTING PREVAILS AT BALL --------------- Statue of Liberty, Eagles and Bunting, Foliage and Vines Transform Armory ----------------- Flags, bunting, shields, and American eagles, and a statue of liberty brought home the martial spirit of the dancers last night at the annual military ball, but flowers and the green, twining foliage from sunny Alabama brightened it all with the spirit and aromas of spring. Red, white and blue were the predominating colors, strips of bunting draping the balcony. The waxed floor did all that was claimed for it. Col. Morton C. Mumma led the grand march. The members of the orchestra were in uniform. Behind them towered the all beholding statue of liberty, and the University service flag told the story of Iowa's sons who fought for Old Gold. The chaperons were President and Mrs. Jessup, Col. and Mrs. Morton C Mumma, Captain and Mrs. A R Lane, Lieut and Mrs. Gore, Prof and Mrs. B J Lambert, Dean Robert E. Rienow and Mrs. Evans. The four "cozy corners" behind the arches and lattice work vied with the waxed floor in popularity. Much originality was displayed by the decorator, Art Thorwick, in handling his side of the party. The elaborate side wall decorations gave an entirely new effect to the scenery. According to the plans of Chairman James A Hollingsworth and the rest of the military ball committee the proceeds of the entertainment will go to the Red Cross. ------------------ HOME ECONMICS TEACHER TO LEAVE ------------ Will Open Women's Ready-to-Wear Elstablishment Next Fall In Dey Building ------------- In this new day for women, teaching, the world's age-old occupation for women, must frequently surrender its workers to the call of the business world. The University is losing the services of Helen Donovan, associate professor of home economics and for five years connected with the department. Miss Donovan expects to open a ready-to-wear dress and waist establishment in the Dey building, Iowa Avenue and Clinton, Sept 1. Desirous of leaving the teaching profession, Miss Donovan feels that she has accumulated knowledge of textiles and of the tastes in dress among University women which she can use in business. Knowing New York and buyers there, Miss Donovan is confident that she can select clothing well suited to the tastes and needs of Iowa City customers. The position of associate professor has not yet been filled for next year. Ruth A Wardall, head of the department, made a recent trip to New York City and Columbia University. The authorities have taken no definite action. ---------------- Dr. C H Weller, University editor and head of the department of Greek, has been chosen a member of the executive committee of the Classical Association of the Middle West and South. Dr. Weller takes the place of William G Hale of the University of Chicago. [Top of column 4] MEALS SERVED AT CANTEEN --------- Women's Council of Defense Will Put Up Lunches to Order ---------- The Women's Council of Defense has taken over the canteen in the M.C.A. building and is serving lunches to University students. The profits are to go to the Council of Defense. During S. A. T. C. days, the War Camp Community service had charge of this canteen and served lunches for those men who could not get off the campus. Both men and women are invited to this canteen. A woman at the canteen does the cooking, and serves sandwiches, pie, cake, fruit,milk and coffee. She also puts up lunches when ordered, and will make anything that the party wishes. Many of the students do not seem to know about this canteen and if there is not more patronage, it will have to close down. The women wish to announce that since there is no overhead expense, the supplies are sold at a very low rate. -------------------- PROF. E. H. LAUER TRAINS PLAYERS --------------------- Three Act Comedy Built on Hunt For Love Letter. Latchem and Erickson Stars --------------- Appearing in the only literary society play of the year, the Hep-Zets will present "A Scrap of Paper," at the Englert theater May 21. Practices under the direction of E. H Lauer, associate professor of German, are being held in the effort to make the play the best in history of the joint productions. The three act comedy by J. Halgrave Simpson, "A Scrap of Paper," involves the search for a lost love letter upon the finding of which depends the happiness of every character in the play. Luther Erickson as Robert Holbrook and Romola Latchem as Suzanne Levering, seniors in liberal arts, have a final chance as leading man and woman to exhibit their histrionic ability developed by their participation in previous plays. Sympathetic relations between France and the United States augmented by the war render the HepZet production with its French setting and animated action exceedingly apropos. --------------------- STUDENTS CIRCULATE COMMITTEE PETITIONS Rodney Cobb, Helen Evans, Don Nasby, Iva Baker, Max Conrad, Mary Moss and Lucille Sawyer are circulating petitions asking nominations as student representatives on the University social committee. General election of student members of this committee will take place Friday, May 16.

[Top of column 5] IOWA WILL BATTLE ILLINOIS ON HOME DIAMOND TODAY -------------- The Illini Have Met Only One Defeat --- Iowa Has a Clean Slate ------------------- INDIANA GAME SCHEDULED ----------- Hamilton and Olson are Iowa Batteries ---Cockshoot on First Base -------------- Illinois and Iowa will play one of the most important conference baseball games of the year on Iowa field at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Favored with every prospect of good weather and fast field the contest will be one of the best University baseball games of the season beyond a doubt. The Illini have lost only to Iowa; just Wednesday they defeated Chicago 3 to 2 and gave their Big Ten standing a comfortable boost; a victory for them practically an even chance at the championship though Michigan still retains a clean slate. Iowa, on the other hand, starts today's game with an unspotted record, having won every conference and all state games this season. The Hawkeyes are in top hole form after two warm days which permitted live practice and Coach Jones has primed his charges to go over the top in earnest this afternoon. Hamilton, who stopped Illinois two weeks ago, will do the hurling, with Olson behind the plate and Cockshoot on first base, Jones having found this combination to be a winner. The Iowa mentor is much pleased with Olson's work as catcher and declares that the high Swede has a better arm than any catcher he has ever seen in a Hawkeye suit. Ryan May Pitch for Illinois Coach Huff's Illini are expectel to arrive in Iowa City this morning, although no definite word has been heard from them. Ryan will probably do slab duty for the invaders, inasmuch as he pitched their conference games this season. In spite of the fact that he has already worke against Chicago this week, Jones believes that good weather and rest will encourage Huff to start him against the Old Gold. Ryan pitched against Iowa at Urbana on April 26 when Illinois lost 4 to 3. New Games Scheduled The lineup of the two teams this afternoon will be: Iowa Illinois Brown, Rf Dossi, cf Bink, 2b Edwards, lf Ehred, ss Kaiser, c Hamilton, p Ingwerson, 1b McIlree, 3b Kopp,ss Crawford, cf Johnson, rf Cockshoot, 1b Diehl, 3b Belding, rf Barklay, 2b Olson, c Ryan, p Two baseball games with Indiana to be played at Iowa City on May 20 and 31 were finally arranged yesterday by Coach Howard H Jones, bringing two more conference and two more home games to Iowa field for this season. ----------------------- JOURNALISTS ENTERTAIN Sigma Delta Chi, journalistic fraternity, will entertain Theta Sigma Phi, journalistic sorority, at the Jefferson hotel Tuesday, May 13.
