THE DAILY IOWAN  The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa  Vol. XVIII---New Series Vol. III  Iowa City, Iowa, Thursday, July 3, 1919  Number 122   PHI ZETA EPSILON GRANTED CHAPTER PHI GAMMA DELTA  National Fraternity Has Sixty Chapters; One Located At Ames  INSTALLED EARLY IN FALL  Phi Zeta Epsilon Organized Here in 1914. Fraternity Home 715 Iowa Avenue  Phi Zeta Epsilon, local fraternity, has been granted a chapter of Phi Gamma Delta. Phi Gamma Delta is one of the largest national fraternities having sixty chapters throughout the United States. The installation of the chapter here will probably take place early in the fall.  The only Iowa institution to posses a chapter of Phi Gamma Delta at present is the State College at Ames. Others in the northwest are [seated?] at the universities of Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Chicago, Nebraska, and Missouri.  The Phi Zeta Epsilon fraternity was organized here in 1914. For the last year the fraternity home has been located at 715 Iowa Ave., where it will continue to be during the coming year. The chapter roll is as follows: 1922---Thomas Inghram, Alvin Erhsman, George H. Frohwein, A. [?], Francis K. Stokely; 1921--- [John?] Inghram, H. L. Dalton, [Mar?] M. Smith, Norris E. Simonson, Leroy McDowell, Paul L. Mercer; 1920---Barger, Ray Gardner, Walker [?]. Members of the fraternity who were graduated in the class of 1919 are Don W. Axon, John [Par?], and Jesse Wiese.  Phi Gamma Delta was founded at Jefferson College in Canonsburg, [Penna.?] during the year 1848. At this time provision was made for the establishment of chapters in other schools. As Jefferson college received most of its students from the south, it was natural that eleven out of the first sixteen chapters were [granted?] in southern schools.  The magazine, Phi Gamma Delta, is published eight times a year. The fraternity badge is a black diamond shaped background bearing the Greek letters of the organization with a single white star above them. The color of the organization is purple and the flower is the heliotrope.  

 PROF. IRVING KING TO RETURN IN FALL  Prof. Irving King of the department of education will resume his former position in September.  During the past year he has been engaged in educational work at Camp Travis and Fort Bliss, Texas. At Fort Bliss he had charge of the lecture program of the Y.M.C.A., and was associate director of education. The educational program of the camp, he says, was reduced to short lectures and talks on social and political science, farming and the peace treaty. There was very little class work.  After taking a short rest at his home he will lecture at a number of teachers' institutes. He is also planning on doing some writing and studying.   

ARMORY IS CLOSED FOURTH  E. G. Schroeder, director of physical education for men, announces that the armory will be closed the Fourth. Tennis courts, however, will be open.  

[photograph of Clifford Devereux]  ENGLISH PLAYWRIGHT WILL LECTURE HERE  George Horner, Who Will Lecture On Drama, Will Announce Devereux Players  George Horner, the English playwright, is scheduled to arrive here sometime this week to give a lecture on the "Drama" and to announce definitely the titles of the plays which the Devereux dramatic company will present in the natural science auditorium on July 11 and 12.  It is certain that the three plays acted here will be taken from among the following: "The Taming of the Shrew," "Romeo and Juliet," "She Stoops to Conquer," "The School for Scandal," or Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the Man."  The Devereux players have recently completed an extended engagement at Columbia university. They have toured both South and East but have never been West before.   

IS ENGINEERING EXAMINER  Alumnus of University Appointed by Governor Harding on New Board  An Iowa graduate, Alvin LeVan, is a member of the new board of engineering examiners which has just been appointed by Gov. W. L. Harding. Other members of the committee are: Seth Dean, G. C. Kasberg, L. M. Martin, and F. W. Stubs.  Mr. Le Van was graduated from the college of applied science here in 1907 and secured his C. E. degree in 1914. At present he is structural engineer with the M. N. Stark company in Des Moines.  After April 1920, engineers must secure a certificate of registration before they can practice engineering. This puts engineering on the same basis as law and medicine, and it is to accomplish this that the new board of examiners has been appointed.   

MISS DONDORE RETURNS  Miss Dorothy Dondore, former instructor in the department of English, has returned from New York where she has been studying at Columbia toward her Ph. D. degree. Miss Dondore left the University in February, 1918 for Scarborough-on-the-Hudson and became instructor at the Vanderlip school. During the past year she has continued her duties at this unique school along with her studies at the university. She will spend the summer here with her parents.   

MORE THAN 1,100 ARE ENROLLED IN PRESENT SESSION  Registrar's Figures Show Large Increase Over Last Year's Summer School  MAJORITY IN LIBERAL ARTS  Graduate College and Nurses' Training School Loom Up---Report From Okoboji Not In  Early season predictions that the present summer session would be the largest ever are borne out from final registration figures released from the office of the University registrar, H. C. Dorcas, yesterday afternoon showing a total registration of 1102. These figures do not include the students at the Lakeside laboratory or the University high school and elementary school.  The complete records in the registrar's office shows the registration distributed among the following colleges:  Liberal arts 512   Law, 47   Medicine, 18   Dentistry, 30   Graduate, 283   Correspondence, 13   Nurses' training school, 166   Homeopathic nurses' training school, 6   Library training school, 27.  These figures show a considerable increase over those of last year. At the end of the first six week's term in 1918, 986 students were registered. It is still possible that a few more students will register for the present session and swell the total past its present strength.  The Iowa Lakeside laboratory in charge of Prof. R. B. Wylie, new head of the botany department, is known to have a dozen students at least doing research work there, but no final figures have reached the registrar's office from Okoboji. No report has been made to him by the University observational schools.  The last term of the summer session last year showed a registration of a little more than half of the number of the first term. It is supposed that the same ratio will probably hold for the five weeks' term of the present summer session. Six hundred, at least, are expected to remain for the entire session. Last year's figures also reveal that no more than 55 or 60 new students registered for the second term.  The college of engineering during the summer session is open for work, but the courses offered are given under the liberal arts college and credit applies to a B. A. degree.   

PHYSICAL TRAINING TEACHERS WANTED  Physical training is becoming a more important vocation every day according to judgment based on the number of calls for qualified teachers which E. G. Schroeder, director of physical education for men, has received in the last few days.  Among other calls for teachers coming to the department were two from the Kansas City high schools. According to Mr. Schroeder the demand for teachers exceeds the supply and as physical training is becoming compulsory in more schools every year, demands for trainers are likely to increase proportionately. Salaries in this work are unusually good.   

DEAN SEASHORE HONORED  Is Elected to National Research Council at Washington  An unusual honor has been accorded to Dr. Carl E. Seashore, head of the psychology department, in his election to membership in the National Research Council in Washington, division of psychology and anthropology. The appointment was made by the National Academy of Science upon the nomination of the advisory council of the American Psychological association.  Dr. Seashore is the only man from the University on the National Research Council. The State college at Ames is the only other institution in Iowa represented.  Membership in this division entails committee work in the national capital from time to time.   

FAMILY BUDGET IS FINAL DISCUSSION  Women's Conference Concludes After Two Weeks of Lectures---To Be Held Annually  Last night was the closing session of the first summer conference for women ever held at the University. Women of the state who were in attendance are leaving town this morning. Several were compelled to return at the end of last week.  The final conference was conducted by Prof. Ruth A. Wardall on the family budget. Miss Wardall spent several months working on the problems of budget with the Society for Savings in connection with a Cleveland bank. She has since her return cooperated with the state war savings committee in urging a campaign for family budgets.  Individual budgets were worked over by Professor Wardall with those present at the conference who wished their own peculiar problems to be considered.  Yesterday's program also contained talks by Prof. C. M. Case on "Woman's Part in a Human World," and by Prof. Paul S. Peirce on "Relief Work and Agencies." Dr. Byfield from the Children's hospital addressed the women early yesterday morning.  Dean Carl E. Seashore of the psychology department demonstrated the value of the grafonola and a chart prepared in the University laboratory in testing a child's musical ability in his lecture Tuesday morning.  The first conference is considered to have been highly successful. It will be made an annual affair, probably.   

PROF. ENSIGN WILL TALK  "High School Credit for Bible Work done in the Sunday School" will be the subject of a talk given by Prof. F. C. Ensign at the student's class of the Methodist church Sunday morning at 9:30. Professor Ensign is president of the state teachers' association and is also head of the committee working on the question of credit for bible work in the Iowa secondary schools. His views are expected to be of special interest to teachers going into high school work.  

Prof. Charles Cleveland Nutting, head of the department of Zoology, is recovering from a successful operation for goiter which was performed Monday at the Mayo brothers clinic at Rochester.   

PUBLIC SPEAKING DEPARTMENT STAFF WILL BE TRIPLED  Four Additional Instructors Will be Taken on for the Fall Term  MRS. HUNT IS APPOINTED  Robert West, W. Emsley Hutcheon and Florence Chapin Will Also Teach  Mrs. Elizabeth Parker Hunt, Robert West, W. Emsley Hutcheon and Florence Chapin are public speaking instructors who have been appointed for fall. They, together with Professor Glenn N. Merry, head of the department, and Emma C. Dumke will triple the teaching force in the University's public speaking.  Sara M. Stinchfield, research assistant in the Child Welfare Station, will help in the coordination of phonology and public speaking.  Mrs. Hunt is an alumna of the University and obtained her M. A. degree from the University of Wisconsin where she was also an instructor in public speaking. During the summer session of last year it will be remembered she gave a recital at the University.   HUTCHEON IS IOWA MAN  Mr. West obtained his master's degree also at the University of Wisconsin and was likewise an instructor there. Milton college, Milton, Wisconsin, awarded him his B. A. degree. During the war, Mr. West was an army psychology expert.  Mr. Hutcheon was given his bachelor's degree here in 1918. During the coming year he will classify as a senior law. Mr. Hutcheon will have charge of the Forensic League contests and intercollegiate debates.  Miss Chapin, who will have charge of the teachers' training course offered by the department, has been on the teaching staff of the Cedar Rapids high school.   REQUIRED OF FRESHMEN  According to Professor Merry, the public speaking department will be practically revolutionized during the coming year. Public speaking will be required of all freshmen and of all students who have not taken foreign languages. Men and women will have separate classes; each person will be assigned to one of the following four classifications: Those who have defective speech; those who have defective expressional power; those having normal speech ability; and those who are unusually competent. There will be a twenty-four sections, each section to be limited if possible to twenty-four students each. Although several endowed institutions have such an expanded course, this is the only state university to have such requirements in public speaking.  Professor Merry has been studying the field of resonance in the psychology laboratories during the spring and summer in order to reach bases for classification. He has also been taking Dr. Brisco's course in Salesmanship which he expects to coordinate with his course in "Business Expression."   

Dr. Gilbert L. Houser will give the third lecture on "Modern Biology" Saturday morning at 8 o'clock in room 107, natural science building. The subject is "The Evolution of Animal Life and its Causes as viewed by Biologists of Today."
