PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN, STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Sunday, June 8, 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 Ruth Rogers Marian Dyer IN CLOSING, WE WILL SAY This is our swan's song. Though The Iowan of 1918-19 will live again in the summer session, the last issue of the school year proper is now form the press. It has never been the practice of The Iowan to publish during examination week. The reporters need that time to spend on other subject which they have often neglected in order that they might supply their fellow students with the news of the University. The final week of the year is used for closing up the books and other business details. So we wish to bid you a cheerful if tearful farewell. A few things, we who are about to die, wish to ask of the students and the administration. First of all, this is an institution made up of persons of erudition. The most advanced ideas of the time should be held and practiced here, and in the most cases they are. We have a child welfare research station, we have public health laboratories, we are reaching out over the state and assisting it in a thousand ways. We are a great and growing institution. Here at home, however, we have not always applied the knowledge disseminated in the classroom. Here in our own University is upheld the double standard for men and women. Woman has made her way into the fields of intellectual effort here and has gained recognition. Socially, however, regulations exist and are enforced against her where men, defying them openly, go scotfree. The breaking of a social custom which will drive a University woman from the institution in disgrace brings no punishment whatever upon the man. So are the social regulations of the University constructed according to unjust and antiquated ideas. Of the administration we would hope for a higher hourly wage for unskilled student labor about the University. At the present rate of 20 cents an hour (this is an increase of 5 cents an hour over that of two years ago) a student by working full time six days in the week could make at best only $9.60. Less than forty dollars a month is a meagre wage even for purely mechanical work. Students who attempt to pay some of their expenses by part time labor at 20 cents an hour have difficulties. The Iowan would recommend that, if in any way possible, the wage for clerical work be increased to 25 or 30 cents an hour, and stenographic work, now paying 30 cents be brought up to 40 or 50 cents an hour. The Iowan advises that if an improvement in the present system of regulating clocks about the University is not made electric bells (horrid things) be installed in classrooms. Much friction between student and professor results from minute discrepancies in time. As a goal for student effort the student paper of 1918-19 thinks the honor system is most worthy. Self-government when it comes will avail little unless it brings with it the honor system. Minor dishonesties in the way of cheating in exams have become so much of a practice among some students that no pangs of conscience accompany it. Information which is needed by officials is concealed because of false standard of loyalty. The honor system would make this a finer University and would make the high ideals of the majority of students the property of all. For the University of the next few years The Iowan forsees greater cooperation between students and faculty. Far from ideas of domination the faculty is anxious that the students guide their affairs in their own fashion and assume their responsibilities. Definite steps have already been taken in this direction and as the students show their capabilities and their worthiness of the trust added privileges will be imposed upon them. VIRTUE IN VICTORY? Is there any virtue in victory? Is glory an abstract thing? A mere phantasm? A think that is intangible is difficult of analysis. Men pursue illusions and rejoice in the shams of mockery. He enjoys the awe of hallucination and is inspired by the delusions which accompany success. Man lives not by deeds alone but by the vanity which enshrouds illustrious achievements. The virtue in victory then, may be based on the incentive which glory contributes to success. Iowa has closed the athletic season. A retrospect of the year bespeaks of glorious deeds on the field of sports. Its victories have been numerous and its success evidenced by the percentage columns of the conference standing. To the victories Iowa followers point with pride for they have reaped the glories of genuine success. Old Gold's record for the past season is evidence of one thing, and that is that Iowa sports are on the gain. Its competitors have been of the strongest in the middle west but regardless, the Iowa teams have hammered their way to success. Iowa won second place in the conference standing in both baseball and football. In basketball it dropped to fourth position. In track it has won several meets and placed well in others. To a coterie of loyal athletes Iowa owes its good standing. Many of them have played their last game, with Old Gold and will go out into the world of competition this spring. In roll call Iowa fans will long remember the prowess of Reed, Scott, Donnelly, Greenwood, Berrien, Cotton, Stoner, Brown, Olson, Ehred, Goodwin, Cockshoot, Belding and Hunelman. To these men Iowa is indebted for its success. To them Iowa gives appreciation for the efforts they have extended in promoting athletes for the past four years. These men have been the cogs in a machine under the pilot who has won the admiration of the athletes, the University, and the conference. Coach Jones is the pivot of success. His judgment, his intuition, his foresight, and his shrewdness have contributed to Iowa's advance and established an enviable record throughout the middle west. As these men go out into other fields, Jones remains to conduct the athletics and mould and train other men to carry on the standards of Old Gold as faithfully and well, as those whose duty is done. There may be no virtue in victory, and glory and may be an illusion but Iowa fans rejoice in success and will never be satiated until Old Gold teams bring home the bacon for one hundred per cent.

So had we forgotten it, but we heard some rumbling reminders last week when the University again sent out "flu" bills to the afflicted seventy. As we look over the past, we don't wonder they think feelingly. It was a melancholy time. May it soon pass from our memory forever! We cannot say that we think the powers that be always used the most tender discretion in handling these accounts. However, they announce their intention to deal justly and generously with all concerned. So be it! Selah. PAINTINGS BY IOWA ARTISTS ON EXHIBIT University Art Department Furnishes Number of Paintings For State Exhibit Much attention is being attracted to the exhibition of tpe haintings of the Iowa Art Guild in room 323 of the physics building. A great deal of interest has been aroused by this attractive collection of pictures. Among those pictures which have excited comment are paintings by Chas. A. Cumming, Edith Bell, Catherine Macartney and Edna Patzig. "A Road through the Woods," by C. A. Cumming represents an Iowa road winding through the woods and gives a most delightful feeling of outdoor light and atmosphere. This picture is one which is attractive because it so realistically typifies out-of-doors Iowa. "Ruth," by Edith Bell, shows a girl seated in the corner of a porch and is a good study of the effect of outdoor light on a figure. Catherine Macartney's "The Country Road" is also receiving notable attention. This picture portrays a bit of a typical Iowa sandy road winding through farm lands and rolling plains. On either side of the road are tall grass and weeds and clusters of small trees. "A Little Road n Bohemia Town," which Edna Patzig painted, is particularly interesting to visitors of the exhibition because it portrays a scene easily recognizable to Iowa City residents. It shows a roadway in northeastern Iowa City, across which the shadows of the morning light are falling Other pictures which seem to receive special attention are "Country," by Harriet Macy; "Late Afternoon," by Theo Aulman; "The Brook," by Edna Rounds; and "Iowa Woodland" by Alice McKee. The collection also includes two paintings by Linn Culbertson, who has just returned to Camp Dodge from France. All of the pictures are painted by members of the Iowa Art Guild, which is an incorporated society of Iowa citizens who feel that their state forms a unit of sufficient importance and individual character to justify its people in making their own expression and recording their own history. The exhibition is open, free to the public, from three to six o'clock on Sunday afternoon and from four to six every afternoon from June 2 to 19. This includes Commencement week and is expected to afford an excellent opportunity for visitors in Iowa City at that time to view original work done by Iowa painters and representing the state of Iowa. Dr. Richard Young is still in the University hospital. The University band will give a concert on the campus in front of the L. A. building Thursday evening at 7:45. [Advertisement] Listen Lester! Bring Her Here Oh Boy, head her straight for the fountain of pleasure. She'll come willingly enough─and make you come again.
