Page Two The Daily Iowan State University of Iowa  Thursday October 3, 1918.  The Daily Iowan The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa.  [Member?] Iowa College Press.  A morning paper published for the period of the war three times a week  Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday by the Daily Iowan Publishing Company at 103 Iowa Avenue, Iowa City. 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; Harold Stoner, secretary; Dr. E. M. McEwen, Dr. E. S. Smith, Marian Dyer, Frederick Egan, Vergil Hancher.  Editor in chief Mildred E. Whitcomb. Acting business manager Romola Latchem. (Staff to be announced later)  "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came." Lincoln.  "Handkerchief That Cough"  A new slogan, "Handkerchief that cough and sneeze," needs no less attention because it is ungrammatical. It means public safety; it means saving of lives. With cases of the popularly termed Spanish influenza on the campus, an uncovered cough becomes an offense against public welfare. Influenza is in the air. No student on the campus knows whether or not he may be contracting it, and with every sneeze he may be endangering the health and lives of his associates. Certain precautionary measures have been suggested for students by Dr. John H. Hamilton, state epidemiologist. It is the public duty of every student to observe these, that this most readily communicable of all epidemics may be checked. Dr.. Hamilton's suggestions follow: Avoid crowds or crowded places whenever possible. Do not place your hands or objects in you mouth unless you know they are clean. Keep in the best possible physical condition. Eat plenty of wholesome, easily digested food at regular intervals. Drink plenty of water  at least, eight or ten glasses a day. Take moderate outdoor exercise. Sleep I a well ventilated room. The University of Minnesota is closed on account of influenza. In a few days it can cripple an institution, so readily does it spread and so destructive is its path. Every soldier, sailor, and student on the campus must put the slogan in practice. HANDKERCHIEF THAT COUGH AND SNEEZE. And do it NOW.  Drill For Women  A thousand or two men drilling about the campus excite something of admiration and something of envy among the women. The institution is divided against itself  half military ad half civilian. The civilian half profess to be hungering for a taste of military discipline. Iowa is already a year behind many other colleges in installing military exercises for women. A number of the larger universities of the west substituted it last year for some form of physical education. At that time it seemed too disturbing, too radical a change for the University to make. The last two weeks have demonstrated that no change is too extreme for the institution to bring about successfully. The establishment of military drill for women would create no greater disquiet now than the introduction of a single new student into the hordes that swarm the campus. Not every University girl has yearnings to "Right shoulder, H'arm," but choice could be exercised with hockey or tennis as alternatives. The regular gymnasium exercises given are little more than a modification of military drill. Now to bring these out under their legitimate title would answer the desires of more than one girl's heart.  We're Sorry About This  The Iowan for Sunday contained an erroneous statement regarding Katharrine Doerr. Her engagement, not her marriage was announced during the summer.  Y.M.C.A. Will Hold Mixer Friday Night  The first big mixer for the girls of the University will be given Friday night at 8 o'clock by the Y.W.C.A. It will be a "Rookie party" and will be held in the liberal arts drawing room. "Upsetting exercises," will be a part of the evening's schedule as will a visit to Chautauqua in a Y. hut. A canteen and guard house will of course be places of popularity. Military games and music will provide the entertainment for the evening. Miss Mary Anderson, chairman, and the members of the Y.W.C.A. social committee are planning the party. Not only Freshmen but the older girls are invited to cone ad get acquainted.  Will Aid Red Cross  The Extension division and the bureau of nursing of the American Red Cross will cooperate in offering courses in practical home care of the sick in the various Red Cross county chapters in the state. This work will be under the immediate direction of Miss Emma C. Wilson, a registered nurse. She was employed during the summer by the bureau of nursing in the drive for Red Cross nurses who were to go to France. Miss Wilson has had experience, as nurse and as an executive. She was at one time superintendent of the Methodist hospital in Des Moines.  Delta Zeta will have tea at the chapter house Sunday evening in honor of Mlle Jeanne Terraz.
