H. Weller, chairman, Gretchen Kane, secretary, E. M. McEwen, E. S. Smith, Alice E. Hinkley, M. Elizabeth Hendee, Mary Anderson EDITORIAL STAFF MILDRED E.

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. ENFORCE WHAT WE HAVE With a rejuvenated social committee of a democratic and representative nature, the same danger which besets congress, the legislature, and unsuccessful school ma'ams threatens. It would not be strange if the committee set about immediately to propose and enact many new regulations without seeing to it that the ones already in existence are enforced. The Iowan is of the opinion that, with the exception of a few minor instances, the University has already plenty of social regulations to make this a well-behaved institution. Any action, such as has been suggested, which would abolish the privilege of dating on week nights, is not what is needed to remedy the situation at Iowa. Such a regulation would be greatly resented by students who having reached their majority feel that their own discretion should be their guide in the matter of how many nights a week they should "step out." But if the social committee would work with the committee which is supposed to enforce the previous regulations of the social committee much needed good would result. As far as ten o'clock rules are concerned The Iowan believes they may as well be made a little private regulation for Currier hall since that seems to be about the only place where they are observed religiously. If a citizen of Iowa City chooses to walk the streets after ten o'clock on week nights the majority of the many, couples he meets will be University students, girls out with men after doors are supposed to be shut and the keys turned. Just how girls who live at private houses or sorority houses where there are vigilant chaperons manage to get in when they have been known to return at eleven, twelve, and even three has never been known generally. However they do it, and it is time it were stopped. Social conditions at the University are the worst they have been in five years. If it needs new regulations to remedy these, let us have them, but first of all, for the sake of the University's good name, let us enforce what already are in existence and see if that does not help. ON COMPULSORY TRAINING The professional colleges have gone on official record as favoring the blanket tax which would include in its scope athletic tickets and entertainment admissions. On the other hand they have unanimously rejected the physical education clause which would make physical education compulsory. The liberal arts college should also meet and give the administration its vote on the question. The Iowan has little doubt that the general sentiment in the college of liberal arts toward the proposed regulation is identical with the professional colleges. Certain it is that the student body as a whole has no objection to the blanket tax innovation. Everyone realizes the benefit derived not only as an economical measure but as a means of bringing more and better musical and lecture talent to the University. Compulsory physical exercise on the other hand has little to commend it to the student body. While the average student realizes its benefit to his physical well-being, he does not regard it as a necessity for he points out his predecessors have been graduated from college in good health without it. The average student further declares that he has not the time to give to the training, even if granted credit for the expenditure of his energies, for it would but impose more hours to his weekly schedule. Lastly the student proclaims that he has come to the University for mental training and that he will care for his physical welfare by diversions of his own choice. These are but a few of the sentiments which The Iowan has overheard on the campus. There are doubtless many others to be heard on both sides of the question. At present the duty of that part of the student body which has not done so, is to express its will through a vote at a special meeting and go on official record as for or against the propositions proposed. The administration has put the question to the students fairly and deserves a representative reply. What do the students wish to do with the question? Now is the time to vote it down or through. Let The Iowan be your letter. WHAT OTHERS THINK Consistency Thou Art a Jewel The Senior Invitation committee has advertently or inadvertently omitted from the invitation announcements the names of all medical students who are candidates for degrees at the coming Convocation. Who is to blame? Someone's head is in the clouds and their feet in the mud. M. S., B. A., and B. Sc. Dean William F. Russell was at Lost Nation Thursday delivering a commencement address. Miss Helene Wilson has left school on account of illness.
