PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STA TE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Sunday, May 18, 1919 THE DAILY IOWAN A morning paper published for the period of the war four times a week--Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday--by The Daily Iowan Publishing company at 103 Iowa avenue, Iowa City _________________ Member Iowa College Press __________________ Entered as second class matter at the post office of Iowa City, Iowa _________________ Subscription Rate $2.00 per year _________________ BOARD OF TRUSTEES C.H.

Elizabeth Hendee Sports Editor Harold Chamberlin _________________ BUSINESS STAFF ROMOLA LATCHEM -- Business Manager Edward Chamberlin-- Advertising Mgr. Telephone 935; Office Hours-- 3-5 daily, 103 Iowa Ave _________________ "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came."--Lincoln. _________________ Night Editor Ethyn Williams __________________ THE REAL IDEA OF COLLEGE How many in the outside world know University life as it really is? If one were to get his idea of college alone from stories, or more particularly from the motion picture, how near the actual truth would it be? The moving picture college always has a beautiful campus, through which beautifully dressed girls walk with faultlessly dressed men--the latter usually in white trousers, dark coats, and straw hats. A college man's room, in a picture, is beautifully furnished, with pennants from every other college around the walls, and quantities of sofa pillows strewn about in artistic carelessness. The short story college is exactly the same. It is a place full of romance, where young people come to have a good time, sing their college songs, accompanied by the mandolin---was there ever a college hero in a short story who could not play the mandolin?--and who generally enjoy themselves and have many reminiscences to talk over in their later days. There is no doubt that this view of university life is widely held, and there is equally no doubt that it does a great deal of harm. Parents think that four years of college, such as they see, is a waste of time. It is perhaps all right for a rich man's son or daughter, who can afford to have a good time, but for people who have their own way to make in the world, and that as soon as possible, it would not do. They do not understand nor is it ever explained to them in plausible form that university training will help their children in their life work, that more than anything else background for their future calling. Why does not some author write of college life as it really is? Why do not the motion picture directors, who are usually so particular as to their details, give a picture of the serious, the real side of college? Has a lecture room, a laboratory, a library scene, or any other scene that shows the student at his work, ever been reproduced on the screen? Thinking people have come to regard the college-trained student as the highest type of citizen. Fiction writers and play producers can do much to further the cause of the university by showing their public the real side of college ---The Michigan Daily. LAWS FAVOR FEE To the President of the University upon motion made seconded and carried at the meeting of the Law Association May 15, 1919 I was instructed to acquaint you with the action taken by the Law School Student Association, which is as follows: "I move that the Law School Association of State University of Iowa go on record as being unanimously in favor of the proposed students welfare fee for all students entering the University, provided that, this has no connection with any plan looking toward compulsory universal physical training." Duly seconded and carried unanimously Evalene P. Babcock, Secy. ________________ CONTEST CLOSES The Short Story contest closed at 12:00 May 15, not to be opened again. The announcement of awards will be made on the 20th after the judges, Prof. P. Hunt, E.H. Lauer and Beryl Hart have finished reading the manuscripts. The stories will not be returned. Ruth Rogers announces, but the authors may have them by calling at the Alumnus office after the 20th. WHITBY BOOK SOON READY ___________ Literary Society Annual Will Be Off Press By June 1 ___________ The Whitby Book, the only literary society annual published at the University is nearing completion and will probably be ready for its readers by June 1.

Days" by Cornelia McKee, "Ye Calendar," and "forensics" are features of the book. There will also be pictures of the members arranged by classes.
