ITS GOOD NAME In this issue of The Iowan is published a signed statement by Dean Kay and Secretary Bates which should bring shame to every student who reads it. Do we of this University enter upon obligations which we never expect to fulfill? Do we pledge money to a great cause and then lose interest and fail to pay it? It would seem that we do. Last autumn when funds for the United War Work campaign were solicited student and faculty subscriptions amounted to more than $11,000. Sixty-two per cent of these subscriptions were paid in the four months allowed for payment, More than 500 students have not met their obligations. This reflects not only upon the individual students who have not paid what they said they would but upon the name of the University. Much publicity has been given over the state by the state committee and smaller colleges to that fact that the State University has been dragging behind all others in the payment of these subscriptions. Newspapers all over the state have published figures showing Iowa at the bottom. The only course which now remains for Iowa is to make good these pledges before May 15. The good name of the University is at stake. WHAT OTHERS THINK My dear Editor: Your correspondent, A. Medic, is undoubtedly one of those backnumbers who prate of woman's sphere (women call it woman's fear), womanly duties, womanly 'virtues' (distinct of course from masculine virtues). He is probably one of those whose prejudice has helped to bar woman from entering the professions particularly the profession of medicine. The extreme bias of his statements cannot but provoke reaction and opposition not alone from feminine readers but from University men whose more liberal views are based on scientific principles instead of narrow prejudice. The sincerity of his professed belief in "equality" is open to attack when he fails to mention that it was most "unmanly" of those persons who are striving to "become lawyers, dentists, engineers and doctors," to assume feminine characteristics. What has he to say of Helen, idol of the engineers, and other Mecca chorus girls, and what of the interpreters of the law who lately presented the co-ed, the dancer, and the mother of the school of commerce? Most of all, what has A. Medic to say of the representatives of his own college who not long ago sat in the front row at vaudeville with one of their number disguised, or nearly so, in women's apparel. Does this not call forth reproach from your man of the high ideals? Does his "equality" extend to like commendation of persons of the stronger sex who thus manifest the desire to "give expression to their feelings," those individuals who are "training to be leaders of men" but are "fostering this feminine-like attitude?" Do the professional colleges "have as their ideals the neglect of the training which makes for a real American man and the pursuit of those things which naturally belong to woman's work?" He was so surprised and hurt that people should act foolishly at the Fool's Jubilee. He says, of course you can expect it at the Englert. In former times when the engineers put on the Mecca show in Natural Science auditorium, did they eliminate the heroine and chorus girls because a different type of performance was expected there? Mountain Canary. POOR MAN Your sensitive soul will be shocked more than once before your little spirit joins your patients in a land where stunts are unknown? Firstly, oh Shocked One, you knew when you paid fifteen cents for your ticket, (or was it a comp?), that you were not to see a David Warfield, or the Coburns. Secondly, oh Critic, you knew from the title of the entertainment it was to be all fun. Thirdly, you should have known that the program passed the censors. Knowing personally one of the dress suit girls, I am glad to say that she is all that is sweet and womanly, has a pure heart, and ---take notice---a clean mind. The little man (?) who writes under cover of "Medic" must know that all girls who come to Iowa are NOT here with the definite purpose of becoming a "Mrs. Lawyer, "Mrs. Doctor," or "Mrs. Anyone." Long may she live---a careless "Miss"---before taking a "Mr." who has no sense of humor and no capacity for enjoying an evening of school girls fun. Such a man must wear pink tatting on his linen and would ask poor "Mrs." what she did with the nickle he gave her last week. Cheer up, little boy! Maybe they will let you play next time! A. Chaperon TO THE STUDENTS Students of the University:--- We wish to make one more appeal to the students of the University asking that they pay their subscriptions to the United War Work Fund. The time for making our final return to State Headquarters has been extended, at our request, to May 15, for we did not want to report that over five hundred students in the University had failed to meet their subscriptions to this worthy work. The State University with subscriptions amounting to (including faculty) $11,435, has paid only 62 per cent of its subscriptions. The State College at Ames with subscriptions of $30,281.75 (nearly three times as much) has paid 75 per cent of its subscriptions. Grinnell College with an attendance of about 800 has subscribed $10,943.00 (almost as much as the University) and has paid 68 per cent. Cornell College has paid 90 per cent of its subscriptions, Ellsworth College 100 per cent, Iowa State Teachers College 100 per cent, Pen College 99 per cent. In fact there are 14 colleges in the state that have paid over 90 per cent of their subscriptions. Our record isn't anything to be proud of, and we have two weeks to do the least we should do---make it 100 per cent. Please consider this as a final appeal, the fourth and last notice, and make your pledge at the office of the secretary of the University without delay. G. F. KAY, chairman, W. H. BATES, treasurer. Dean Raymond will give the third of a series of lectures on engineering problems this morning at 10 o'clock in the physics lecture room. "The Field of Engineering" will be the topic discussed and slides will be shown. Prof. A. H. Ford will lecture on electrical engineering May 8.

Those who leave the creation of this margin to an increase in income will probably continue to have financial worries. Those who adopt the sure way of decreasing the outgo of spending less than they earn and banking the balance are sure to arrive. For putting by a surplus you can't beat common sense and a savings account.
