Sunday, February 2, 1919 THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA PAGE FIVE SIX WEEKS' TRAINING FOR R. O. T. C. MEN Captain Lane Desires Large Sections in Work Here--Colonel Mumma to Arrive Soon That the R. O. T. C. men will profit by a six weeks' summer encampment at Camp Dodge is practically certain, was the declaration of Capt. A. L. Lane of the military department. Authority to hold the big maneuvers has already been granted by the war department, and the only obstacle deterring the program is a sufficient appropriation by congress. The committee in charge has already been granted enough supplies, including ammunition and personal equipment, to accommodate 100,000 students. The sixteen colleges in the state that give a course in military training will send students, and possibly schools in surrounding states will be permitted to send men. Capt. Lane says its success will depend to a great extent upon the preliminary training given in the colleges. He expressed a special desire to have a large senior section in the R. O. T. C. here. Any men are eligible, excepting those on reserve in the army or navy. In this section special officers' training will be given, and a monthly allowance granted. Commission in the reserve will be the ultimate object. All men attending the summer camp will thereby gain preference for commissions in case of national emergency. Men in the R. O. T. C. are requested to inquire into this matter. Capt. Lane will be glad to give information to anyone interested. Col. Mumma is expected to arrive in the city this week. SIMPSON STUDENTS ENTERTAIN Iowa students, who at one time attended Simpson college, were entertained Friday evening at the home of Mrs. E. E. Ball, 806 East College street. The old days at Simpson were renewed and old friends were again brought together. The party ended with a two course luncheon. Those present were Pauline Pickard, Esther Baker, Alice Baker, Martha Stewart, Mrs. E. E. Ball, Ray Wycoff and wife, Arthur Grant, Marle Noble, Donald Shaw, Bert Evans, Irl Marshall, Harold Peasley, Ernest Shaw, Warden Rimel, Bruce Townsend, Wendel Sperow, Eunice Baker, Mabel Crawford, Hilda Taylor, and Leslie Jensen and wife. Seventeen of the group are attending the University now. OUR OLD CAPITOL [photograph of old capitol building] COL. MUMMA BEGINS DUTIES THIS WEEK Former University Commandant Will Assume Direction of Local R. O. T. C. at Once Colonel Mumma, famous rifle shot and military leader, whose appointment as commandant of the R. O. T. C. occasioned much pleasure in University circles, will arrive in Iowa City to assume his duties the early part of the week. Because of Colonel Mumma's former record at the University and his national reputation his arrival has been eagerly awaited. Just what plans he may have for remoulding the R. O. T. C. are not known, but it is certain that under his direction the unit will be one of the finest amont the colleges. Several army officers will assist Colonel Mumma in his work but the greatest part of the drill will be in charge of discharged officers who have returned to school from the service. Interest in drill is higher than usual on account of the return of Colonel Mumma and the results will be watched with interest. S. A. T. C. PHOTOGRAPHS IN UNIVERSITY BOOK War Department at Washington Will Receive One--Shows Retreat and Other Groups "University of Iowa, S. A. T. C. 1918" is inscribed in gold letters on the black cloth bound cover of the loose leaf photograph books containing pictures of S. A. C. T. activities which has just been completed by Dr. C. H. Weller, University editor. One of these books will be placed in the office of the President of the University, another will go to the University library, and the third will be sent to the historical section of the War department at Washington. Seventy photographs of the S. A. T. C. are in the book, whose cover measures eleven by twenty-five inches. The first picture shows the entire S. A. T. C. unit on Iowa field. Officers, band and each company have a separate full page, also smaller pictures of the headquarters officers and the instructors of the vocational unit. Probably the best group is that of retreat, with the band playing while the flag is being lowered, with the lights of Old Capitol and natural science in the background. Eight pictures of the men on parade, and several views of the men practicing set-up exercises on Iowa field are especially interesting. There is another of the officers viewing the Iowa-Coe game, when the score resulted to 27-0 in Iowa's favor. Also a long line-up of men waiting for assignment to companies is shown before the natural science building. A group of men grinning broadly, are standing before the entrance to the library between classes. Interior views of the radio laboratory, of the sending and receiving room, and the carborator and ignition departments of the auto section are shown. Digging trenches, the telephone electricians are a happy group. There are also pictures of the blacksmith and carpenter sections, and of the building which the carpenters constructed. Pipe-fitters are at work installing heat systems in the new work shop. The first vocational unit, and their officers, which came to the University in June, have a place in the S. A. T. C. book. Verna Tagge of Durant is spending the week end at the Alpha Xi Delta house. PUBLIC WILL BE PROTECTED Engineering Forces of State to Restrict Amateurs Various engineering societies of the state have outlined a bill to be presented to the state legislature, restricting the activities of unscrupulous or incompetent engineers in public service. Prof. J. H. Dunlap, secretary of the Iowa Engineering society, who recently returned from a meeting of a joint committee in Des Moines for consideration of the plan, outlines the provisions of the proposed bill. All professional engineers now in practice will merely be required to register, but further applicants will be required to pass an examination, designed to guarantee protection to the public against incompetent service. Persons applying for registration will be required to pay a fee sufficient to pay for the operation of the law without public expense. Cap. Roy Harvey of Dedham is visiting University friends. President W. A. Jessup, H. C. Dorcas, registrar, and Prof. F. C. Ensign are attending a meeting of the State Board of Education at Des Moines. Standards of colleges and other matters relating to intercollegiate scholarship will be discussed. .GARDEN.
