PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Thursday, April 24, 1919 THE DAILY IOWAN A morning paper published for the period of the war four times a week--Tuesday, Ethursday, Saturday and Sunday--by The Daily Iowan Publishing company at 103 Iowa avenue, Iowa City Member Iowa College Press Entered as second class matter at the post office of Iowa City, Iowa Subscription Rate $2.00 per year BOARD OF TRUSTEES C. H. Weller, chairman, Gretchen Kane, secretary, E. M. McEwen, E. S. Smith, Alice E. Hinkley, M. Elizabeth Hendee, Mary Anderson EDITORIAL STAFF MILDRED E. WHITCOMB, Editor-in-chief Telephone, Black 1757; Office Hours--8-12; 1-6 daily, Room 14, L. A. Building Rowena Wellman--Managing Editor Associate Editor Ralph E. Overholser News Editor Eileen Galvin Exchange Editor Nancy Lamb Humorous Editor M. Elizabeth Hendee Sports Editor Leon D. Brigham BUSINESS STAFF ROMOLA LATCHEM--Business manager Edward Chamberlain--Advertising Mgr. Telephone 935; Office Hours--3-5 daily, 103 Iowa Ave "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came." --Lincoln. INTER-DEPARTMENT GAMES With the advent of spring, the energies of nature begin to expand. Spring showers, southern winds, and warm rays transform a cold, lifeless earth to one of potency and energy. The very atmosphere is pregnant with the vigor or activity. The rebirth of life awakens the dormant forces in man. His red blood receives a surcharge which causes him to tingle with energy. The bulletin or vivacity must find its vent through action. To this end man's genius has invented games, amusements, athletics. This he has done to offset his effesvescing vitality. College athletics have been inaugurated to sponge up the physical exuberance of youth. No more extensive programs have been mapped out for the usurpation of man's vigor than college games. Yet in this age of specialization we have come to look upon college athletics as a past-time for the few who possess physical prowess and special talent. As a result the rank and file of college men are discouraged from entering the field of sports. They neglect to heed the appeals of nature to physical activity. Such a policy causes physical degeneracy and a languid spirit. It is contrary to the whims of nature. Several years ago inter-department games gave reason for exercise and merriment upon our campus. Faculty and colleges rivaled for a berth in the baseball percentage column. It was good fun and good exercise. To revive the inter-department games would be to instill the ardor of college spirit, afford amusement, and give vent to the energies of man. With the coming of spring students and faculty need the exercise. Let's revive the inter-department games. IT CLOSES MAY 1 With the Boston Transcript's annual praise of the literary efforts of University of Iowa folk, with its discussion of the great literary revival of the middle west comes the thought that perhaps here undiscovered are literary geniuses. Scarcely a year passes that Professor Hunt's short story class does not produce some coming writer who never before knew his capabilities. The short story contest of the Women's forensic council is designed to bring out latent talent in letters. Every one dreams of being a writer, but few have the courage to try and fewer still have the persistence to keep trying. Some of the best stories ever published have been written under pressure, not the pressure of an inspiration, of an impelling force demanding expression, but the pressure of livelihood, of bread and butter, or of a contest and prize. In every student body of more than three thousand there are several persons who have the divine gift of writing. Not always is this divine gift coupled with sufficient confidence in themselves or determination to carry things through. The short story contest closes May 1. Time still remains for stories to be begun and completed. Those undergraduates who have a desire to become writers should not fail to present a story in this contest. B. I. F. F. Those spring poems for which we called are coming in. Look in your own portfolio, or that old notebook you kept in High School days, or even in your own fertile brain, and see if some unrecognized poetic treasure lurketh there. Humor, sentiment, tragedy, or hymn--any or all may be suitably inspired by spring. Don't be bashful. A SONG OF SPRING O what shall my song of springtime be? Shall I sing of the bluebird on the bough? Shall I sing of the flowers I used to see, Of the bloodroot shining for others now, Where I loved to walk, and dreaming, hear The flute of the meadowlark caroling clear? Or shall I sing of the winding stream, Of the dipping paddles that whisper low? Of the things we hardly dare to dream As we glide along, for now we know That the world is young, and life is young, And the past is writ in an alien tongue. O, my song is of joy to be alive. And the meaning is clear as we slip along, And the words whatever I may contrive; For there are no words to the bluebirds song And yet his lady love understands; And I know their thoughts when I touch your hands. Contributed by Al Gona. Phi Beta Kappa elections will probably be made about May 8, according to Prof. F. C. Ensign. The committee has been delayed in securing the grades for the second quarter from the registrar's office, but it is hoped that they will be available soon. Leone Spenseley of Waterloo is entaining her mother at Currier hall for a few days. WHAT OTHERS THINK LOYALTY OR WHAT? An assembly was held in the N. S. auditorium at 10:00 o'clock on Monday to promote the subscription of the Victory Loan and yet only about 25 per cent of Liberal Arts students attended. Is this indicative of loyalty and cooperation in doing our bit in the final cost of the war? Perhaps those who did not appear made their subscriptions just the same. At least it is hoped so, but when men appear who have made all but the supreme sacrifice it is only a matter of social etiquette to give them an audience regardless of the part we ourselves have taken in the war. Sympathy in the cause demands interest in those who fought and interest in those who fought demands an audience to hear their message however great or small. Let us resolve, nevertheless, to do the most and send the Loan over the top. This was our war. The men who died gave their lives for the rest of us. Those who are still in France wish to return. Let us help to bring them back as quickly as possible. Our administration at Washington needs the money to pay our own debts and yet we are asked only to loan it. Shall we refuse? W.
