We have trained the troops, we have rushed them across, and we have won; why not finish the job, then, and furnish the necessary funds to bring them back and enable them to return to peace occupations. That is why we must subscribe to the Fifth Loan. Our country needs it and the boys deserve it. Shall we not act for those who have done the most? Our bill must be paid by April 21 and the easiest, the safest, and the most secure way to pay it is by buying bonds. Buy because it makes the final payment on all war preparations. Buy because a million lives were saved by shortening the war a year. Buy to furnish the cost of bringing the boys back and caring for them until discharged. Buy because you are enjoying comfort which the boys have not had. Buy because it is the safest investment in the most secure government in the world. Then you can feel you have done your duty to the public of which you are a citizen and that you have been a vital factor in winning this war. Let us all stand and act together. One big lift and we have finished the job. THE CHEATERS Cheating is coming to be one of the University's fine arts. Its cultivation is practiced by the social elite and aped by those who would be the elite. It is done brazenly, even boastfully. The student who cannot slip something over a prof in the way of cribbing is one of these slow ones whom the University can teach nothing. Cheating is of two kinds: graceful and disgraceful. Graceful cheating is a pleasant time saver, and occasionally a life saver. It presupposes success in the attempt. The disgraceful variety is the same brand of cheating when the cheater doesn't get away with it. Nothing is more shameful than to be caught red-handed in the cheating act. Nor is anything more worthy of a silent admiration and respect than the smooth guy who can pull a sly demonstration of his art under the prof's very eyes or nose, depending upon whether the faculty man tracks cheaters by sight or scent. Conscience has nothing to do with cheating. That is, it has not had anything to do with it since the first few times the student lost the old belief that being dishonest in the classroom did not belong in the same category as stealing or lying. The fact that a person is ordinarily of high principles does not hinder him in the slightest from cheating. An incident where a girl who was the leading figure in the largest Sunday school in the city----and was so good that she refused to study on the Sabbath, copied from notes she had taken during the semester the entire final economics exam is proof that students do not consider cheating as dishonorable. This false idea of honor can not be corrected by greater vigilance on the part of the professors. The Iowan believes that the only method to check such practices is for the professors to put students on their honor. If a student gives his word of honor that he will write a paper without cheating he will not go back on his word. The University is sadly in need of an honor system, but it seems it cannot come except as a rider to a student self government measure and that is approaching slowly. An immediate solution of this cheating problem can only come through the individual professor and class inaugurating an honor system of their own. THE INWARD TRUTH The inward truth of the Victory liberty loan is duty to America. The outward appearance is that of selfish profit for ourselves. And of these two the inward part is vital and the outward appearance is not. It is vital whether America maintains her honor and credit. It is not vital whether you or I make 1-2 to 1 per cent more interest. It is vital whether the Government is kept in funds to buy supplies. It is vital whether factories are busy, labor employed, wages satisfactory. It is vital whether prosperity reigns in America, or the reverse. It is vital whether you and I are True Blue Americans, or only "yellow." It is vital whether America retains her place as queen of all nations. It is vital whether the Victory liberty loan be triumphantly or only timidly and gingerly, subscribed by the American people! WHAT OTHERS THINK Speaking of Flags One year ago pretty flags fluttered from their staffs on the various University buildings. Even last fall it was a beautiful sight to see the flag raised and lowered on the pole near the Physics hall. But now we are forgetting our patriotism. True the war is over and we did our part well. But that is no excuse for our lack of Old Glory's existence on our campus. A rag unworthy of the name and description of our banner tears from its one corner of the medical building staff. Anything but a dirty red, white ad blue. Then, too, our flag pole serves no purpose, just a long big white stock in the ground, Surely the University of Iowa, both students and faculty members, desire to see our flag pole used for its purpose. The three thousand students can watch Old Glory ripple in the breeze from all the available flag staffs. Let's renew our tired patriotism. Gold stars in our service flag deserve their place also. Why all this lack of patriotism? Right now let us put up those flags on every building and on the flagstaff. A. K. SENIORS NEGOTIATE FOR INSCRIPTIONS Because of the disorganized conditions of the past few years the engineering classes of '16, '17 and '18 have not had their emblems inscribed on the stone faces of the engineering hall. The present seniors are now negotiating with the members of these classes and the appearance of new figures is likely in the near future. This plan was originated by the class of 1909 and since that time it has become a custom. SIGMA DELTA CHI HAS ANNIVERSARY Banquet Held at Hotel Jefferson After Initiation----Lee A. White Is Guest The tenth anniversary of the founding of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity, was celebrated at the Hotel Jefferson, Thursday April 17. The Iowa chapter was especially fortunate in having Lee A. White, editor of The Quill, as its guest and representative of the Executive Council. Pointing out that so far as he knew, the fraternity was the only one in existence, with the exception of Theta Sigma Phi, professional journalistic sorority, to have for its single bond and ideal the highest ethical principles of journalism, Mr. White brought the message of the evening and inspired in the old and new members the enthusiasm that in the past has led the national officers, the founders and the rank and file of the fraternity. Mr. White advocated the making of Sigma Delta Chi a non-secret organization. The greatest forward movement, however, was the starting of a campaign by the Iowa chapter for the election of Lee A. White for the new national president of the fraternity. Frank Thayer, instructor in journalism at the University of Iowa, made the proposal to the chapter and the chapter went on record for the instruction of its delegate to the next convention to be held in the autumn for the support of Mr. White. Mr. Thayer pointed out that only in its leaders could the fraternity make real progress for its 1600 members, and that through his service as editor of The Quill the place of leadership should fall on the shoulders of the man who already has done so much for the intensifying of the ideals of the fraternity. J. M. Van Houten of the Ames chapter was a guest of the Iowa chapter and responded to a toast on "Journalism of Tomorrow." Leon H. Brigham told of "Ideals of the Neophytes," and W. Earl Hall former president of the Iowa College Press association and former editor of The Daily Iowan, spoke on "The Challenge of Sigma Delta Chi." Informal talks were given by E. E. Johnston, publisher of the Iowa City Daily Citizen and S. E. Carroll, publisher of the Iowa City Daily Press. Both Mr. Johnston and Mr. Carroll were elected to honorary membership in the fraternity sometime ago and Mr. Johnston was initiated with other candidates at the ceremony at the Phi Kappa Psi house in the afternoon. Mr. Carroll will be initiated at a later time. The other initiates were: Charles V. Brown, Leon H. Brigham, Earl Culver, Edward Chamberlin, Irl H. Marshall, Kenneth C. Noble, Arthur Walling and Earl Wells. The student class at the English Lutheran church will have an Easter lesson tomorrow at 9:45. Charles Maruth will conduct the class.
