Shafer, student pastor of the Congregational church, who was formerly a student of Mr. Hutchins. An informal gathering of Oberlin students will be held.

VICTORY HAWKEYE FOR '20  Juniors Don't Show Proper Interest  Only One Girl Applies  "Victory Hawkeye" has been suggested as the name for the annual to be published by the junior class. Members of the Hawkeye board consider this appropriate and timely.  Only one girl has applied for the editorship thus far, and there has been no application for the business management. Each of these positions offers a salary of $200. More interest and activity on the part of the junior class is essential, if this year's Hawkeye is to compare favorably with those of the past, members of the board declare.  

INSTRUCTOR ELECTED EDITOR OF ALUMNUS  Mrs. Grace Partridge Smith Accepts Position As Head of Iowa Graduate Magazine  Mrs. Grace Partridge Smith of the class of 1891, instructor in Greek, has been chosen as editor of the Alumnus. Mrs. Smith is the widow of Prof. Arthur G. Smith, who was head of the department of mathematics and chairman of the Athletic board. She is an enthusiastic alumna. In addition to her many accomplishments she has contributed to several magazines. One contribution may be found in the current number of the Classical Journal entitled "Vitalizing Mythology."  Ruth Rogers has been elected business manager, a newly created office. Her duties will be to boost the circulation and secure advertisements. She has been connected with the Iowan for two years.  Many new features are to be added to the Alumnus this year. Formerly the Alumnus has reached only the alumni of the University but this year the magazine will be sold on the campus to the students for fifteen cents a copy.  To the alumni of the University the Alumnus serves a two-fold purpose. It gives them not only the news of the University but also news of each other. Because of unavoidable conditions the first number will not be published until the latter part of November. Nine issues, however, will be published because there will be a post-graduation number in July.  

   NO MORE INDUCTIONS  The following telegram was received by the commanding officer of the S.A.T.C. unit of Iowa in regard to the induction of more men.  "Owing to the order of the President suspending all induction, no more men wil be taken into S.A.T.C. by induction until further notice. All institutions should be informed of this fact so that they will not encourage men to come to college with false expectations."  

   TRIANGLE CLUB RENEWS FUN  The Triangle club held a dance in the club rooms last Thursday evening. This faculty "cut up," which is the first one during the period of the war, was evidently a peace celebration.  It is to be followed by other parties.  

U. W. W. CAMPAIGN TO GO ON UNTIL QUOTA IS REACHED  No Report Can Be Made Yet as Different Groups Have Not Finished Soliciting  S. A. T. C. MEN ARE WORKING  $5,651 Has Been Received From 692 Women. $100 Largest Single Subscription  Reports on the United War Work campaign are slow but encouraging. The drive is still being carried on vigorously among all groups on the campus. Complete returns will not be available for several days. By Saturday morning 692 women of the University had pledged $5,651, an amount slightly below the individual quota of $10. Their goal was set at $10,000.  Sorority and freshmen house averages will be made out and published at the close of the campaign. Competition among these groupings is very keen just at present. Women members of the faculty have either included their pledges among those of the women students, or subscribed through the Loyalty league.  All pledges made to student solicitors are payable at the office of the University secretary. The largest single subscription was $100, and the smallest, 50 cents.  Members of the S.A.T.C. and other men students of the University are carrying on active campaigns among themselves. Results will be known early in the week.  The Iowa State college at Ames and Grinnell college have both set splendid examples for other institutions in the state. Men and women of Ames went over the top by giving $25,000 instead of the $23,500 asked. The women averaged $12 each. Grinnell oversubscribed its quota 50 per cent, pledging $10,761.  

FROHLING-PRUYN  Ruel E. Pruyn of Sanborn, a freshman in the S.A.T.C. and Ida Ruth Frohling of Belmond were married at 3:30 Thursday, Nov. 14, in the hostess room of the Y.M.C.A. hut. The Rev. Walter Schafer of the Congregational church performed the ceremony. The bridal couple were attended by J. Ross Spaulding and Ann Marie Glasgow. About thirty members of the groom's company, A engineers, and immediate friends were present. Mrs. Pruyn returned to Belmond, Friday.  

FORD AT BACONIAN  Prof. A. H. Ford of the college of applied science gave a lecture on the subject, "The training of telephone electricians for the army" before the Baconian club in the physics lecture room Friday night. After discussing the work of the signal corps, Professor Ford emphasized the necessity of trained telephone electricians and said that there should be at least ten thousand of them for every million people.  
   The Political Science club will hold its first business meeting Monday evening in the liberal arts drawing room.  

OPEN HOUSE TODAY AT Y   S. A. T. C. Men May Enjoy Free Movies Three Nights a Week  The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. will hold their first open house of the year at the "Y" hut this afternoon from 2:30 to 4:15. Those in charge say that all S. A. T. C. men and University girls are welcome. There will be a social hour, music and refreshments.  Through the courtesy of the community motion picture bureau and the extension department at Ames, a number of films have been secured, which will be shown on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday nights, for the benefit of the S. A. T. C. men.  The Y. M. C A. bible class meets at 9 o'clock each Sunday morning.  

FRASER IMPRESSED WITH UNITY OF U.S.A.  Lecturer Thinks Russia the Most Democratic Nation in World.  Jews Much Feared  "The unity of this country, not the army, nor the immense production of munitions, is what impresses me most," stated Sir John Foster Fraser, in his lecture on "The Checkerboard of Europe" Thursday night. "Where England and others, even our own citizens, expected marked differences to arise, the Americans have proved themselves a nation, not a race."  It was this unanimous backing of a great country, as well as our two million soldiers, that kept up the morale of the allied armies, the speaker said.  Speaking of Russia, he declared, "It is the most democratic country in the world. They are big, indolent, good-natured children. They have more holy days than any other nation and they never work on a holy day. The Jews are the chief instigators of the revolution. One-sixth of the Jews of the world live in Russia, and Russians fear their shrewdness and government has forbidden them educational and social privileges."  The chief cause of the Russian revolution, however, according to Sir John Foster Fraser, was the Baltic provinces, which are German in population and sentiment. The Czar was not pro-German, but was ruled by the political leaders from these provinces.  Russia will never again be a unified nation. The problems of the other countries were touched upon.  

MISS AGNEW'S FAMILY HERE  James Agnew and daughters Sade and Jean of Walker were in the city Friday to care for the personal effects of Dr. Marie Agnew, instructor in mathematics and commerce, whose death occurred as the result of an automobile accident on Sunday, Nov. 10. The father and sisters of Miss Agnew have repeatedly expressed their sincere appreciation of the thoughtfulness and sympathy extended them by her friends in both the University and city circles.  

   Sergeant Irving Knudson of Camp Dodge visited here yesterday.  

VARSITY WALLOPS VISITING AGCIES IN LAST HALF OF GAME  First Half Ends in Scoreless Tie  Iowa Gets Big Points in The Third Period  LOHMAN RUNS 85 YARDS  Kelley's Interference and Kicks Are Feature----Belding and Scott Show up Well  Going into the second half with the score a scoreless tie the Hawkeyes came back and scored a touchdown and a victory over Ames for the state title.  The Hawkeye attack fairly took Mayser's team off their feet, for the Iowa backs tore through the Ames line for repeated gains. For the entire first half the Aggies played the Iowa team an almost even game; they put up a stubborn defense and their offense was good at times.  The Iowa marker came in the third quarter after the Hawks had carried the oval to their 20 yard line. Hibbs intercepted an Iowa pass and Vanderloo kicked to Kelley. Kelley faked a run round right end for 20 yards to the 15 line. Scott hit the line for 5, Lohman added 5; Donnelly made 3 going to Ames I yard line where Scott went to the I foot line, Kelley scored through center and kicked goal.  Late in the third quarter the Hawkeyes scored again when Lohman took Vanderloo's punt on his own 10 yard line and sidestepped the entire Ames team going to the 5 yard line before he was tackled from the rear by Capt. Heater of Ames. Scott went over for a touchdown. Shortly after the start of the last quarter Captain Reed hauled down an Ames pass. Iowa's ball was on Ames' 35 yard line when a pass from Scott to Donnelly, one of the prettiest of the game, took the ball to their 10 yard line. Lohman was taken out here and Belding put in his place. Belding hit the line for 4 yards and Parker 3 more. Belding then smashed over for the last marker. Kelley booted his third goal making the total score 21 for Iowa.  For the entire first half the Ames team put up a classy brand of football, but fumbles on the part of the Iowa backs kept the Hawks from going over. The play was in the Ames territory most of the first quarter. The Iowa team started a drive for the Farmer goal by a series of plunges and went to the 15 yard line only to have Hibbs intercept a pass giving Ames the ball on her own 10 yard line.  The Hawks outclassed their rivals in aerial play line smashing and every other part of the game. Donnelly played a good defensive battle and his receiving of passes was sensational.  Lohman ran through the whole Ames team for 85 yards and his passing was the best of the season. He hit the line for telling gains going as high as 8 and 10 at a clip. Scott showed up as the back who was good for 3 and 4 yards each time he carried the ball and his  (continued on page 4)
