The Daily Iowan The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa VOL. VXIII-NEW SERIES VOL. III IOWA CITY, IOWA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1918 NUMBER 31 UNIVERSITY PUTS TIGHT CLAMP ON OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES Restrictions Are To Be Enforced For Few Days on Order of Health Committee MASKS ADVISED FOR ALL Influenza Cases Light-students Not Permitted to Leave City for Present The University health committee met last night at 7 o'clock at the Presidents office to consider the influenza situation. They followed a survey of all new cases among the students during the last forty-right hours. Sixteen cases were reported for that period. Medical authorities report that these cases are light and see no indication of a return of a severe epidemic similar to the one in October. Nearly twelve hundred students have had the disease and are practicaly immune. Precautions Taken Every precaution is to be taken by student rooming in houses where cases of influenza exists, even though the patients are rigidly isolated. Students are to go directly from the homes to university class rooms and return. Public gatherings, lectures, dances and the like are to be abandoned for a few days as further precaution all students and instructors are advised to wear masks in university class rooms and laboratories and study halls. The Red Cross will have these masks for sale at once. Medical authorities are not at all alarmed and believe that this flare up will run its course in a week or ten days. In order to avoid spreading the disease students will for the present not be permitted to visit out of town. However there is no indication that this will in any manner interfere with the usual Christmas vacation. DAME RUMOR CALLS Dame Rumor is a crafty old soul. She finds a seed of truth and immediately plants it in fertile soil. She nourishes the little grain, adding the moisture of lying to her efforts, and breathing the foul air of untruth, until she had hybridized this seed of truth into a full-grown weed of misinformation. Her stock in trade is hearsay. She knows that she will die unless she makes her profits in wild reports. She lives by her false twistings of fact. Yesterday Dame Rumor visited the campus. She liked us and thought she would tell us a story. She thought it a clever thing to tell University students that because of a certain sickness all the activities of the University would cease. She met a students and told her tale. In an hour the campus was inquiring whether the University would close before the regularly appointed Christmas vacation. Some even believed the story and thought of packing up for the homeward journey. The Careful One heard the tale, doubted it, and took time to inquire. The report proved untrue. In the weeks to come it is suggested that much worry and inconvenience can be saved, if students will verify all reports before idly believing them. MANY POSITIONS OPEN FOR PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS Are you willing or prepared to teach next quarter? If so, please let the committee on recommendations know at once. They have many calls for teachers, with apparently no one to fill the positions. If you wish a position, go to the department of education and make out an application to teach next quarter. Every year the committee on recommendations has many calls for teachers for the second semester. This year, the number of girls who are ill, and who have gone into war work, have caused many vacancies. There are many calls for teachers who are willing to go out immediately or at the beginning of the second quarter. TO HOLD NORTHERN ORATORICAL CONTEST Six Student Orators Of The University Will Try Out For Oberlin Debate Although Intercollegiate debate has been entirely dropped for this year in spite of the disbanding of the S.A.T.C, the Northern Oratorical league contest will surely be held, according to Prof. Glenn Merry, head of the public speaking department. The preliminary contest in the University will be held in the last week of February, and the final will be held at Oberlin college, Ohio, May 2. The winner of the preliminary contest will get the Jessup prize of $25.00, and will have the honor of representing the University in the final. Six student orators of the University who will probably take part in the contest are Romola Latchem, Joe Tye, Robert Aurner, Max Albert Conrad, Eugene Murray, and Juan Valdes. Professor Merry says that most of the orators will probably take up the subject of the world's reconstruction. Miss Latchem will probably speak on woman's rights, and Mr. Valdes will speak on the Philippine question in connection with reconstruction. BAND RETURNS COMPLIMENT Co. G will be furnished with an orchestra as a result of their efforts in contributing $36.50 to the fund which supported the band in its trip to Camp Dodge Saturday. Two sororities, Delta Gamma and Iota Xi Epsilon, each gave $14, for which they will receive an orchestra for a dance. ALL ROOMING HOUSES MUST REPORT CASES All persons keeping students are requested by University health committee to report illness of students or any members of the family to the University health officers. Any rooming house keeper who knowingly fails to comply with this request shall have his apartment removed from the list of approved rooming houses, according to an official announcement by the University health officer last night. CONFERENCE POSTPONED The fifth Annual Conference on Supervision, which was to be held here on Dec. 5, 6, and 7, will be indefinitely postponed. Owing to the second outbreak of the influenza, the extensions division has decided that it would be wise to hold the meeting at some future date. DEMOBILIZATION OF SECTION B DELAYED Failure of Papers to Arrive From Washington Changes Plans of S.A.T.C. Demobilization of Section B, the vocational unit of the S.A.T.C., did not start yesterday, as originally planned. The examination papers from Washington did not arrive, therefore, none of the men have as yet received their physical examinations, which are to be given to them prior to their leaving service. The reasons for withholding the papers are not known here. Reports were prevalent this morning upon the campus that the demobilization would be withheld until January 12. The Iowan was unable to secure official confirmation of the rumor. Lieutenant Cook of military headquarters, was ordered by the government to Minneapolis late last week to receive special instructions regarding the process of mustering out the men. He was expected to return last evening. According to the belief of military authorities, the delayed papers will arrive shortly and the original plan of demobilization will not be changed. H. DURBORAW DIES IN N.Y. Received Three University Degrees and Later History Head Word has been received here the death in New York recently of Raymond H. Durboraw, an alumnus of the University. Mr. Durboraw entered the University in 1910, received his B.A. degree in 1913 and his Ph. D. in history in 1915. While he was greatly interested in literary work, being associated with Mr. Frederick in the publication of The Midland. After finishing his work at Iowa he went to Minnesota Normal history department. This position he held until last summer, when he moved to New York to engage in literary work. The body was brought to Lamoni, Iowa, the former home of his wife, for burial. TO ELECT FORENSIC COUNCIL TOMORROW Prof. Glenn Merry wants to meet all the student interested in public speaking and forensic activities at the natural science auditorium tomorrow afternoon at 4:30. The object of the meeting will be to elect a forensic council and to decide whether or not there will be sophomore and freshman contests this year. MERRY RETURNS FROM SPEAKING CAMPAIGN Prof. Glenn Merry has just returned from his War Saving Stamp Campaign. He was in charge of the team of eight speakers which included a French high commission officer. Professor Merry and his team held meetings in thirteen counties in the northern part of Iowa. The meetings were very well attended because of the good speakers on the program and the presence of the French officer. Miss Ruth Magowan, Y.W.C.A. secretary at Waterloo, has been ill with bronchial pneumonia, but is now improving. Her mother has gone to Waterloo to be with her. FLORENCE M'GOVERN VICTIM OF INFLUENZA Florence McGovern, Delta Zeta, died at her home in Des Moines Friday morning, after a short illness of influenza. Miss McGovern did research work in the English department of the University, receiving her M.A. degree in 1917. Previous to this, she was graduated from High land Park in 1915. During the past year Miss McGovern taught at the Scarborough school at Tarrytown-on-the-Hudson. Miss McGovern was a student at Chicago university last summer, and has been living in Des Moines since then. While in the University, she was a member of the Dramatic club, and also president of the Newman society. HONORARY SORORITY MEETS BEFORE DAWN Requirements of High Scholastic Standing Necessitates Late Pledging Activities "Oh its nice to get up in the morning". So sang the Theta Sigma Phi girls Monday morning, as they dipped their ink-stained fingers into icy water in preparation for their first eyeopener meeting. They pronounced it a closed session, to which no reporters were admitted so complete details cannot be given at this time, although something is sure to materialize soon. This "between-the-dark-and-the-daylight" affair was held at the home of Rowena Wellman, on East Fairchild at 7:15 in the morning. The reason for the unusual hour is this, so arduous are the girls in their journalistic pursuits and so persistent are they, that if other organizations take up all their evenings and afternoons, they'll get up in the morning. Indirectly, one sleuth reports to us that among the other things decided upon was that the regular reporters' fare would be adopted by the Rho chapter, that is cheese and crackers. Pledging will take place after the end of the first quarter because the high standard of the sorority makes it necessary that scholastic standing be high before affilliations with Theta Sigma Phi can be made.Intention to follow journalism as a profession and a keen interest in publicity work now are also requirements. Rho chapter of Theta Sigma Phi this year, is made up of Rowena Wellman, Mildred Whitcomb, Alice Hinkley Agnes Dawson, Agnes Kingsbury, Ethyn Williams, Beth Wellman, Elizabeth Hendee and Ruth Rodgers. Mrs. Frank Thayer is an honarary member. DEAN RAYMOND ATTENDS MEETING IN THE EAST W.G. Raymond, dean of the college of applied science, left last night for Cambridge, Mass., where he will attend a meeting of the Massachusetts institution of technology. Dean Raymond will represent this University in the meeting for the promotion of engineering. He will stop at Washington on his return to attend to other business for the University. He intends to be gone about ten days. Prof. E.W. Rockwood returned last week from Lansing, Mich., where he delivered an address before the Michigan section of the American Chemical society. LAST GAME ENTITLES HAWKEYES SECOND PLACE IN BIG TEN Reed, Donnelly, Scott, Hunzelman In Playing Final Game For Iowa Show Ability TAKE TITLE IN CONFERENCE Dodgers Entirely Outplays While Offside Play is Ruinous to Iowa The Hawkeyes closed their most successful season of the year last Saturday when they battled the Dodgers to a scoreless tie on the Drake mud-covered field. Although a victory was not rung up in the scoring and, statistics show that the Iowans had it over the soldiers badly. Iowa made first down, eleven times to three for the soldiers; Lohman made three of these in succession. In the aerial game the Hawks made nine out of twenty-three tries against one out of nine for Haxton's men. In returning punts, Kelley, the individual star for the Hawks made Movald look foolish for headgearless quarter brought kicks back for a total of 105 yards in contract to thirty by Movald. The Hawkeyes gained 165 yards against fifty-six for the Camp eleven when the scrimage gains were figured. In the last period the Old Gold negotiated fifty-six yards while the Camp was unable to register a single yard either by the aerial method or by line plunging. When they did get the oval they kicked and Kelley eluded them for long gains several times. The only bright spot in the Dodge play was the defense they displayed and it was a sarong one sided by considerable offside play. Hawkeyes Down Rivals This year's record is all more remarkable in its success for the Hawks bowled over opponents that have not been beaten for a long time. Included in this list were the Gophers and Huskers who were beaten decisively. The Gophers were badly fooled for they figured on having a track meet on Iowa field. The win over the Huskers was the first in twelve years, this giving Iowa the claim to the title of the Missouri Valley. All state teams fell before the Iowa attack, not a team being able to hold the Hawks to a low score. If an All-State team were to be picked it is hard to see without at least six Hawks on it. The Illini team handed Iowa a beating, thus upsetting all dreams for first place. Zuppke presented the best machine seen on the local field this season, his set of backs and pass information being good. Men Play Well With Eckie looking a few Hawks over, for two or three Iowa men who have a good chance of being put on his All-Western eleven, the Hawks played a game that was a credit to the best team imaginable. The men who were seen by The Tribune critic played their best games and it is hard to see a team without at least a pair of Hawks in the lineup. Captain Reed in his final contest played a wonderful game, his defensive play being nothing short of marvelous, while he grabbed aerial tosses with his accustomed regularity. Lohman, though not going through as easily as he has in other tilts hit the line for big gains of five, (continued on page 4)
