Every man who was in the service, when discharged for disability, has a claim against the government. The Bureau of War Risk insurance sends these men to the public health service in a hospital for observation and treatment. The government then gives the men treatment until they are entirely well until everything has been done for them that is possible. The discharged men are now coming in every day from all over the state of Iowa, and there is no limit in the University hospital to the number of men that can be accommodated. Many of the men come here for examination from time to time. The government is acting as an insurance company and they would rather help a man to become a useful citizen than to discharge him disabled and send him a pension. If the disabled man can not be cured, after having been given careful treatment in these recognized hospitals, he will be compensated with a certain amount of money on the basis of percentage of his disabilities. USE OLD HOSPITAL FOR IOWA CRIPPLES The old hospital of homeopathic medicine at the University of Iowa is to be used for adult cripples who are patients under the extension of the Perkins law and for the accommodation of fifty discharged soldiers and sailors which the government intends to send to the institution for treatment under the bureau of war risk insurance. The college of homeopathic medicine at the university, which has been declining for years, was abolished by an act of the thirty-eighth general assembly. The legislature, however, authorized the state board of education to establish a chair in, the regular college of medicine, of homeopathic materia medica and therapeutics. Dr. George Royal, former dean of homeopathic medicine at the university, has been given that chair.

IOWA WINS FROM ILLINOIS Champaign, Ill…April 26-- Special to The Daily Iowan— The Hawkeyes won their third conference game here today by defeating Illinois 4 to 3 in a contest marked by skill and spectacular playing. Hamilton allowed but four hits and kept those well scattered. Captain Brown and Ehred starred with the stick for Iowa. A great crowd witnessed the contest. STUDENTS WILL BE REPRESENTED ON SOCIAL COMMITTEE Action of University Council is Sustained by Faculty and Social Committee ELECTION SET FOR MAY 9 Three Sophomores and Three Juniors Will be Elected to Serve Until 1920 As a distinct step toward student government comes the decision of the faculty and University council to have student representation on the University social committee. At a meeting Thursday evening of the University council it was voted unanimously to elect each fall three students from the senior class and three students from the junior class to act with the faculty on the social committee. The autumn election is to come on the third or fourth Monday after school opens. Any member of candidates may run provided they have previously been nominated by petitions signed by thirty-five members of their own class and approved by the then existing social committee. For this spring it is the plan of the council to have three sophomores and three juniors elected by the student body to serve until the fall of 1920. This election will be held May 9. Those who intend to run for election should have their nominating petitions in five days before the date of election. WHITBY GETS FIRST IN JUBILEE STUNTS Philo-Octave’s “Piece Table” Wins Second Place—Women’s League Third Whitby literary society won first place in the All Fool’s Jubilee last night. Philo-Octave made second place and Women’s league, third. Whitby with its movie of the West, featuring the sad face of Wild Nell, the capture of the beautiful English lady by savage Indians, and the brave rescue by the cowboy hero carried away the $25 award. The pantomime was cleverly staged. The idea has been used a number of times, but the presentation was done with skill. The [Woman’s {should be Women’s?}] League stunt was a musical comedy with an everyday life setting, Jiggs and Jaggs being two husbands who succumbed to the charms of chorus girls. Athena and Octave-Philo both took as a basis for their sketches the League of Nations. Musical comedy influenced the former and one of the best parts of it was the Jackie chorus girls in white. The Philo-Octave stunt, entitled “Secret Session at the Peace Conference.’ IRVING BEATS PHILO—WINS CHAMPIONSHIP Irving institute won the sophomore debate from Philomathian Friday by a unanimous decision of the judges, Prof. P.S. Peirce, Dr. J.E. Briggs, and A.W. Goodenough, Philomathian defeated Zetagathian at a previous debate, and so Irving by defeating Philo gets the sophomore championship. The question was: Resolved, that immigration should be prohibited into the United States for a period of five years after the war except those from Canada and Cuba. The affirmation was upheld by the Philomathian team composed of Joseph E. Tamisiea, Chester Awe, and Albert Cannon. Wm. K. Carr, Harold D. Keeley, and Willis D. Nutting argued the negative for Irving. The debate was held in the natural science auditorium. Max Conrad, president of the forensic council acted as chairman. THROUGH ST. MIHIEL WITHOUT A SCRATCH Vandervicker in U.S.—Went Through Aisne-Marne, Chauteau Thierry, and Argonne Fights To go through the campaigns of the Aisne-Marne, Chauteau Thierry, St. Mihiel, Meuse and Argonne as a member of the Twenty-sixth (Yankee) division and come home unscathed was the experience of King M. Vandervicker of Grundy Center, a former student here. Vandervicker left the University in 1917 to join Battery “B” of Davenport, which later became a part of the One Hundred and Twenty-sixth field artillery. After training at Camp Cody, N. Med., this unit was sent overseas and attached to the Twenty-sixth division, one of the most famous shock divisions of the American Expeditionary forces. As only fifty per cent of the original battery remains today, it is rather remarkable that Vandervicker was never wounded. However, he had many close calls, and one especially narrow escape when a big shell fell with a few inches of him, but failed to explode. That was at Chateau Thierry. Open warfare made this latter campaign terrible, according to the Iowa student, for mustard gas was sent over in great quantities and caught the soldiers while they were trying to “dig in.” Vandervicker was slightly gassed. [not sure where the beginning of sentence is] belonged to the unit at the beginning [next is a repeat of first] belonged to the unit at the beginning of the fight only one remains. This faithful mascot will be sent back to Boston to be kept as a relic. When the Twenty-sixth division returned to the United States, they were royally welcomed by Boston. Theaters and other amusement places were thrown open to the men, and meals and lodging were free. KAPPA SIGMA INITIATES Formal initiation, followed by a banquet, will be held at the Kappa Sigma house today for the following men: Arthur Umlandt, Harold Smith, John McConnell, Lester Dylce, Elmer Beckman, Hailey Potter, Marquis childs, Abbott Dean, Kenneth Beirgett, Lawrence Hertlein, Favid McGreevy, and Ira Stanton. Robert Daniel Sinclair is confined at 214 E. Davenport street, suffering from [and?] accident received some time ago. COE ATHLETES ARE NO MATCH FOR IOWA IN TRACK EVENTS Iowa Wins Ninety Six and Half Points While Visitors Get Thirty Nine BRIGHAM CAPTURES HONORS Frentress of Coe Runs Quarter Mile in Fifty Three and Three Fifth Seconds Coe college track athletes were unable to get far against Jack Watson’s Old Gold veterans yesterday afternoon and took the short end of a 96 1-2 to 29 1-2 count. Iowa took every first place in the field events, and in the shot put, the discus throw and the javelin throw, the Hawkeyes captured all of the points. The Parlor City aggregation sprang a surprise by winning the quarter mile run, but Frentress of Coe stepped the distance in 53 3-5 seconds, exceptionally fast time for this time of year. Coe also took the mile, the 220 yard dash and the low hurdles but this was the extent of its endeavors. Sheedy hurled the javelin for Iowa a greater distance than this event went at the Penn relays, when he hit the 161 foot mark. Brigham of the Old Gold team won individual honors with ten points. The veteran jumper won both his events, the high and broad jumps. In the high jump, his specialty, he was not forced to extend himself. Iowa’s fast relay teams ran away from Coe and added ten points to the Hawkeye tally. One of the prettiest races of the day was the two mile. Kruse of Iowa and Preston of Coe ran down the (continued on page 6)
