PUBLIC NUISANCES  The discourteous, like the poor, are always with us. Lectures and concerts bring them to light as warm days attract the ground hog.  On those inconsiderate and ill bred individuals who scramble out before entertainments are concluded, The Iowan has expostulated at length. And yet there may be legitimate excuse for hasty departures, such as incipient fainting spells, crying babies, and no late leave.  Those individuals, however, from the faculty and student body who gossip during lectures and concerts as if their words were of greater weight than the accounts of great events or the songs of prima donnas, are in no immediate peril of "busting" from being chuck full of manners.  Remember student, remember instructor, if an inner compulsion drives you to boast that the song being given is the one you have at home on the Victrola, frequent intermissions are allowed for just such remarks. And, if in the course of the evening, the pianist attempts a solo, he does not introduce it as a signal for general conversation on the good and bad points of what had gone before. He would like to think he was being given ear.  If music means nothing more to you than an expensive accompaniment to your chatter, visit the movies. If you must make yourself heard above the lecturer, hire a cheap speller, take yourself out of doors, and pattern after your heathen brothers who shout the Korean in competitive loudness.  Put powder caps on the street car tracks, wail on a ukulele, or rob the First National Bank, if you will, but don't for the love of art, be this kind of a public nuisance.   

GRADES ISSUED SOON  Grades from last quarter's work will be sent out as soon as possible, according to H. C. Dorcas, registrar. No estimate can be made as to the exact time because of the large amount of extra work in the registrar's office. The chief difficulties have been the large amount of work left over from the S.A.T.C. and lack of help in the office, because of sickness.   

Rehearsal of the University orchestra will be in the band room this evening at 7 o'clock sharp.   
Freshmen of the Pan-Hellenic held their annual smoker at the Sigma Nu house last night.   

WHAT OTHERS THINK  Of all the type of character that tread the campus, one of the smallest and most selfish is the student who will sneak away with a book from a reserve shelf, and keep that book indefinitely, depriving all the rest of the students in the course of the use of that book. How that student with ill-gotten gains can attend class without a feeling of guilt is beyond the comprehension of an upright conscientious person. Our University fosters cooperation, but the book-hog seems to feel no responsibility for cooperating. Other more honest members of the class, calling at the library for that particular booth, find it "missing" day after day. Not only one, but several books have disappeared in this way. If the guilty parties have any self respect remaining and wish to square themselves with their fellow students, they may atone, in some measure, by returning the "missing" books to the proper places without delay.  P. D.  

Dear Maybelle:  I want to register a kick about your popularity contest. This is my first year at the University. Of course I signed up for a Hawkeye and when I got my receipt it said 10 votes for So and So. Now, Maybelle, I didn't vote for So and So. I wanted my vote to go to you even though I don't know you. They say you are a sure thing and I want to be on the winning side. If it is too late to change the record please accept my apologies. It was a big bonehead on my part but that's me all over, Maybelle.  One thing more, Maybelle: Why does the number of votes depend upon the kind of book we buy? I think it would be more representative if every purchase secured one vote and only one. Then it would not be like buying votes.  Outside of this, I think the young women are doing fine in "putting the Hawkeye over." I take off my had to the girls. That's me, Maybelle,  An Iowan Reader   

WHO IS MABELLE?  Be she dark or be she fair,  Greenish eyes or auburn hair,  Be she vamp or be she wise,  "Follow me" or goggle eyes?  Short or tall, fat or thin,  Is she good, or does she sin?  Why shrouded she in mystery,  I'll die of curiosity.  Oh tell me Mabelle!  ----Contributed.   

NOTED IOWANS IN WORLD WAR  University Student Lists Iowans Prominent in War Work for Nation  Here is a list of Iowans compiled by a student in the department of journalism at the University of Iowa, who have won nation-wide renown as a result of their achievements in the world war:  HERBERT HOOVER, United States Food Administrator, who was born and received his early education in West Branch, Iowa.

MOTT, America's foremost religious worker, who is at present devoting his efforts to work among the men of the A. E. F. was born in Postville, Ia. This little town paid him high tribute recently when it was the first of the towns and cities of America to "go over the top" in the United War Work drive.  JAMES NORMAN HALL, The American ace, who was captured and recently made his escape from a German prison, is a Colfax man. He is the author of one of the most popular of the recent war novels, "Kitchener's Mob."  Admiral FRANK FRIDAY FLETCHER of Oskaloosa of former naval fame, is a member of the War Industries Board of the Council of National Defense and of the Navy and joint Army and Navy boards. He is the inventor of the Fletcher breech mechanism and gun mounts.  MRS. CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT, prominent in woman suffrage activities and a member of the National Women's Committee of the Council of National Defense, formerly made her home in Mason City, and was educated at Iowa State college.  HANSON ELY, of Davenport, Ia., is a Brigadier General in the Rainbow division, now a part of the army of occupation in Germany.  MERLE D. HAY, of Glidden, Ia., was the first man under American command to make the "supreme sacrifice" on the battlefield.  FRANK O. LOWDEN, an Iowan, is the Illinois war-time governor prominent in all war activities and noted for his legislative plans for the reconstruction period.  FRANK R. WILSON, of Sioux City, Ia., was chief of publicity for the national liberty loan campaigns.  RAY L. WILBUR, president of Leland Stanford university, and chief of the conservation division of the United States Food Administration, was born at Boonesborough, Ia.  CARL BYOIR, an Iowan and a graduate of the University of Iowa, is a member of President Wilson's peace party. He served during the war as acting associate chairman of the Committee on Public Information.  WILLIAM F. RUSSELL, dean of the college of education of the University of Iowa, was sent abroad as educational adviser to the Committee on Public Information on education work in Russia.  MILFORD LYON, a noted evangelist, who formerly made his home in Iowa, is a member of the staff of the War Work Council of the International Y.M.C.A. He is at present conducting special meetings for the soldiers in the A. E. F.  NEWELL DWIGHT HILLIS, a clergyman of note, has written some of the most important of the books relative to war and religion. He was born in Magnolia, Iowa.  STEPHEN H. BUSH, of the University of Iowa was one of the first few American Y.M.C.A. workers who have been cited for bravery under fire.  RUSH C. BUTLER, formerly a lawyer of Northfield, Ia., was appointed council to the National War Savings Stamp committee.  BIRD T. BALDWIN, formerly director of the Iowa Child Welfare Research station at the University of Iowa, is now in charge of the construction work at the Walter Reed hospital, Washington, D. C.   

TO ENTERTAIN WITH SMOKER  Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity, is to give the men taking the course in journalism a smoker at the Phi Kappa Psi house Tuesday night.
