PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN, STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Saturday, June 7, 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. Weller, chairman, Gretchen Kane, secretary, E. M. McEwen, E. S. Smith, Alice E. Hinkley, M. Elizabeth Hendee, Mary Anderson EDITORIAL STAFF MILDRED E. 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. Overholser News Editor Eileen Galvin Exchange Editor Nancy Lamb Humorous Editor M. 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 Editors Beth Wellman Ruth Steward THE IOWAN OF THE FUTURE With the election of Ralph E. Overholser and Edward Chamberlin to the chief positions on The Daily Iowan staff, the future for another year's Iowan looks more than usually favorable. The paper published under their directorship wil be valuable to the students and faculties of the University, to the merchants and townspeople of Iowa City, and to alumni and former students of this institution. Both men are admirably equipped for their new positions. Overholser is a man of considerable journalistic experience both in the college and country field. A seasoned man in the mechanical work of publishing and the routine duties of the office, he will have added time to spend on constructive editorial policies of the paper. His ideas are sound and well founded, and he possesses a breadth of vision which will make his paper an influence for a greater university. Chamberlin's work on advertising this year has brought him the respect and confidence of the merchants of Iowa City, and his personality has made him their friend. The sound business basis which The Iowan has only recently acquired will be maintained and strengthened through his management. In its final issue of the year but one the present editorial staff of The Daily Iowan has just one plea to make of the future. More than anything else we ask the students of years to come to guard the freedom of their University paper. The Iowan is a student paper, owned and controlled by students. Never under any conditions should it be allowed to become the organ of any group other than students. The cry from some corners that The Iowan should be put under the proposed blanket fee of the University and that every student should be required to take it will strike a death blow to the free opinion of the students. Under faculty censorship which would result from such action, news and reactions on news which students have a right to demand might be suppressed. Editorial policies might be no more than faculty opinion. Such is now the condition in many small colleges of the state, but Iowa is as free an institution as most universities are at the present time. Academic freedom is still considered a debatable manner, and very few educational institutions enjoy it in its entirety. With the purchase of The Daily Iowan by the students a big step toward free speech among students was made. Let us guard the liberty gained and let there be no retrogression. Always must we by our own honest striving take yearly strides toward ultimate independence. CONSIDER THE SENIORS The seniors are asking that no examinations be given them. The Iowan believes their request is not unjust. For four years, perhaps six, these seniors have labored through exams and have come out triumphant. If they had not they would not be seniors. In most cases examinations for seniors are a mere matter of form. The senior's final grades are handed to the registrar perhaps a week before the exam, except in extremely doubtful cases. The examination paper, even if read, could never affect the grade already written in the registrar's office, but the poor senior is subjected to a night's cramming when his nights at the university are numbered. Faculty meetings for the year are over, and it may be inconvenient to call another. If such is the case individual professors should consider it their own right to excuse the seniors in their classes from examinations. Some of the more thoughtful ones have already decided to do that. The Iowan hopes that on this matter the faculty will become consentient. SENIOR PLAY CAST IS PRACTISING DAILY "Alias Jimmy Valentine" Making Progress Under Direction of Mrs. Brueckner Under the direction of Mrs. Carl Brueckner the cast for the senior play is practising every day with the expectation of making "Alias Jimmy Valentine" one of the best senior plays ever given at the University. According to Mrs. Brueckner the cast is exceptionally strong. Harold Harney as Jimmy Valentine, and Marjorie Madden as Rose Lane are showing fine realizations of the demands of their parts. "Alias Jimmy Valentine" is a play built up with gripping, but quiet force, revealing the self-mastery in the soul of a thief. Tense scene follows scene until the climax is reached, the plot untangled, and a satisfying conclusion attained. The play will be presented at the Englert, Monday, June 16. Glen Wolford of Lone Tree, Acacia, is visiting friends in the University.
