PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN, STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Tuesday, June 3, 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.

WHITCOMB, Editor-in-chief Telephone, Black 1757; Office Hours─8-12, 1-6 daily, Room 14, L. A. Building Rowena Wellman─Managing Editor Associate Editor Ralph 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 Night Editors Elsie Katz SYSTEMATIZE ELECTIONS Why is it that Iowa has no systematized method of elections at the University? Certain it is that the University is in dire need of a well regulated and governed electoral system. The present haphazard methods are entirely inadequate to the needs and welfare of the University. Class elections do not hold the interest nor maintain the significance which they should. Students are apparently indifferent towards elections and candidates. To offset such a spirit which is general over the campus the student council should set a day apart for all elections, which should be known as University Day. The student council should command and guide the elections. On that day all class elections should be held, the student council should be selected and the members of the social committee should be chosen. Such an innovation might be responsible for a complete transformation in elections, relative to interest and class spirit. At least it would abolish an unlimited number of elections which continue throughout the school year under the present unsystematized methods. Let the student council take the matter under consideration and make way for an all-University Day. WHAT OTHERS THINK MORE PUBLIC SPEAKING With the added requirement in voice training for all freshmen, the department of public speaking has been put upon a new plane promising to bring it into the limelight. In the past we have always had a definite English requirement. The purpose of this was to develop the student's ability to handle the language. This was accomplished from the standpoint of writing but it failed to develop oral expression and speaking. The administration suddenly woke up to the fact (thank fortune) that speaking ability is equally as essential as the ability to write. That the spoken word wields as powerful an influence as the written one. We spend in ordinary life from five to ten times as much time speaking as we do in writing and yet we place the greatest emphasis upon written English. Observation shows that the master of the written word is often servant to the spoken one, that the ability to write in a classical rhetorical style is not accompanied by the ability to do the same verbally. Training in speaking is equally as important as training in what is commonly termed "English", for english culture properly includes both. Moreover the use of the good rhetoric in conversation, in the class room, in giving reports, talks, arguments etc. is of greater practical value simply because it is used most, and will hold its place but the voice also asks for a reserved seat in the arena of human events transpiring. It is coming to its own and we shall not retard its progress. M.C. MEMORIAL DAY The first memorial day ater the great war saw no memorial services at the University of Iowa. The University failed to pay tribute to her fallen sons on this day. They helped to win her war; they gave all they had, and yet no tribute was paid them on this memorial day 1919. What was lacking in the mind and heart of the student body? Where was the pride of the faculty? What was the reason that nobody thought that nobody worked for the honor of our boys? Exercises were suspended last Friday. The city where the University resides gave suitable thanks to her men fallen in this war and in the others. The doors of the University were closed, yet not one sign was there of the reason for suspension of classes. This year, the first year after the great victory, the State University of Iowa failed to honor her men. Is it yet too late? B.M. SIX HAWKEYES PLAY THEIR FINAL GAME Hamilton and McIlree Are Good Pair Left Over for Next Year's Baseball Six men of this year's Hawkeye baseball team played their last games for Iowa Saturday against Indiana in the final tilt of the schedule. Olson has played for three years and this season he developed into one of the best catchers in the conference. Although handicapped by a bad hand, Olie bolstered up the team by his catching so that it could finish in the present position. Goodwin as second base and Ehred at shortstop also played their last contest. It is doubtful whether there is another short field man in the conference that can rank with Erie. He was a fast fielder and a good sticker. When the infield needed steadying, Erie was the one to do it, and more than one game was won by the quick thinking of the shortstop. Brown, leftfielder, finished his career as an athlete, and in a blaze of glory whaled out two triplets and a single while he cut off an Indiana run by a brilliant throw to the plate. Crawford, although playing his first year here, will be lost to the team by graduation. His hitting was an important factor in the team's success and his playing at first base in a few games was also a feature. Belding in right field is another who will not be back. Although he pitched but a few games, he played the outer garden while not on the mound. In spite of the loss of all these men, however, Coach Jones will have a fairly good nucleus for next year's team. Hamilton and McIlree will give him a pair of reliable mounds while material from the freshman team will help fill the places left by this year's varsity men. Helen Richter returned to her home in Des Moines after spending a few days at the Tri-Delt house. Claribel Wright, Alpha Delta Pi, returned Monday morning after spending the week end in Dysart. Eloise Vest, Delta Gamma, returned yesterday after spending the week end at her home in Ottumwa. The University club dinner scheduled for June 5 has been indefinitely postponed. USE OF CAMERA IS PART OF EDUCATION Amateur photography has a positive influence in education. This is the opinion of one of the University's scientists, who advocates that every student should know how to operate a camera. A census shows that every other student at the University owns a camera and that every student has the use of one. Most of them, however, are used for "snapping purposes." The camera, he says, is a necessity for most lines of biological science. Nature photography is one of the powers of observation. The tendency toward buying smaller cameras with better lenses is a wise one, says the botanist. Such cameras are capable of producing better results and are less expensive to buy and operate. Money which students spend on cameras is well spent provided they use them correctly. Gladys Wagner and Phyllis Loomis spent the week end at Sigourney. Mrs. Carrie Ring Irish is entertaining her sister of Mason City at Currier hall. Engineers will entertain at a dancing party at the Majestic hall Saturday evening. Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Dreyer will be the chaperons. Etta Anthony returned yesterday morning after spending the week end at Fort Madison.
