To you, straight and hardy athletes of Iowa's preparatory schools, the University of Iowa opens its doors. You are its future sons, most of you, and we view you with pride in your achievements and with hope for your future. When you were in knee trousers and grade school, your big sister led you one day to high school, and you sat at chapel in the assembly hall awed at the vastness of it, the crowd of students, the genial atmosphere. And you thought how wonderful it must be to count yourself a part of this chattering, confident, carefree group of students. And later when you grew from a quaking uncertain freshman to a masterful senior you felt as if the place belonged to you, and awe vanished with familiarity. You probably approach the University with something of the same awe with which as a grammar school boy you viewed the high school. And later when a student in this institution you will take all the pride and glory in it that the high school ever inspired. But never can you stay long enoug at the University, were you allotted fifty years for your higher education, to lose that fine sense of awe and reverence which it awakens in you as you see it today. The vastness of its halls, its athletic prowess, all these things grow to seem natural and not unexpected, but the association with students many of whom are to be the great men of tomorrow and with professors, many of whom are the great men of today, never fails to excite your admiration. The longer you remain at the University the more you will realize the pitiful scantiness of your knowledge in comparison with all the institution affords in the way of instruction and opportunities. OUR ATHLETIC POLICY Iowa is today host to two hundred athletes who have come to exhibit their skill and talent at the University's eleventh annual field and track invitation meet this afternoon on Iowa field. Youths from the four corners of the Hawkeye state, representing the cream of vivacity and physical prowess, will bid for honors with a spirit of enthusiasm ilnherited from Grecian ancestors. The vigorous athletic policy of the University is in part responsible for the growing interest in high school track and field events. Coaches and trainers have come to realize that athletes can not be made over night and that the more training lads receive in pre-college days, the better the college athlete. With this in view Iowa's coterie of coaches and trainers, Jones, Watson, Schroeder, and Armbruster, have lent their energy towards endorsing and promoting interests in high school athletics. The result is the annual high school field meet which we have today. Although Iowa has been a potential force in boosting athletics for a number of years, it has looked with disdain upon the professional college athlete who develops the body at the expense of the mind. Rather has the University curriculum endeavored to balance mental activity by physical exercise - such proportion bounded by the necessity of man's nature. A pursuit which lacks the exercise of a cultivated mind, no matter how much the majority passionately follows it, will become more and more mechanical and vulgar. On the other hand to neglect the physical side of education is to breed an inferior race. There is a happy mean to be attained, and it is toward this balance that the University has been working. The victors of today will be the heroes of tomorrow. It is they who will carry on the Old Gold colors; it is they who will carry the college standards of the state into foreign fields and carry on the victorious resord of present day Iowa teams. The University of Iowa is proud to entertain the embryo athletes of the state and points with pride to the work it is doing in promoting the athletics of tomorrow. _______________________ IN THREE YEARS The University has made it entirely possible for high school students to complete a regular four-year college course in three years;this without carrying extra work. To accomplish this feat and get a bachelor's degree in 1922, the present high school senior has only to register for work in the University summer session of eleven weeks which begins on June 16. By attending this session and two succeeding summer sessions together with three regular September to June terms, he may obtain his degree. Ample vacation periods are allowed between summer session and the regular session. It is only a matter of a few years until all school plants will be run on a twelve-month basis. Economy demands that they should. Several high schools in the state are giving summer work and such sessions are well attended. No reasons exist why the student should study nine months in the year and proceed to forget what he studied in the remaining three. Unless the student needs to work in the summer or is in poor health, there is no plausible reason he can give for frittering away one quarter of the year. Believing that many students resented this loss of time in completing their college training, officials at the University devised this plan whereby a four-year course is shortened by one year. ____________ WHAT OTHERS THINK Editor The Daily Iowan: Is there any prohibition in the Article of War, federal or state codes, against shavetails, or as they are technically regarded, second lieutenants, from investing in an outfit of Kuppenheimers after they are discharged and honorably from the military service? There are several of these handsome animals who yet strut around at this late day, in full florescence with everything on but side-arms. Irrespective of the fact that an armistice was signed 'way last November and that the war shut down long ago and it is all over except the fiuming (pardon) of a few Italian political mediaevalists, the shavetail is still with us. He has gon out of fashion however. There was a dazzle and a glamour about him once upon a time but it has evaporated; shavetailism was a half-hearted revival of chivalry and the shavetail was a half-baked knight. Despite all, however, he was a good fellow, and now that he has gone (except when one of his more persistent ghosts can't discard his uniforb) let us leave him r. i. p. A SUBSCRIBER B. I. F. F. Song to Be Sung by Iowa Fans No game today; no game today, We can't play ball on Monday. No game today; no game today, You'll have to come around on Tuesday. Oh, I got a girl who wants to see a game with Michigan Leaning up against the grandstand. Oh, Boatman, saev our diamond. A PH. D. __________ Lots of funny things can be found in the waste baskets of our own professors, and a special messenger has been hired to hunt them up. Everything from poetry to last week's unread (but graded) exam papers, can be found by the enterprising seeker. _________ It is, for example, interesting to find Mrs. Professor's shopping list, with a short, emphatic, despairing word, in professorial handwriting, inscribed after the line, "Thread to match my blue silk dress, the one with the taupe collar." _________ And once our ten-cent-an-hour messenger found Sonny Professor's arithmetic lesson, all worked out by pater. And - Sh-s! - the decimal points were always forgotten. _________ Our greatest find for this week, however, is a passionate poem by one of the literary lights of the institution. It is gratifying to learn that even a grammarian may feel the divine emotion. ________ Love Song Oh, you are the object of my prepositions, The subject of every verb. My heart and my mind are but mere appositions To love that I cannot curb. _______ SOCIETY AND PERSONAL MILLER-FRANK The marriage of Murrel Miller of Washington and Pressey H. Frank of Waterloo took place on April 24 at the home of the bride. Mrs. Frank attended Iowa State Teachers' college and Mr. Frank attended Northwestern university and the University of Iowa, graduating two years ago from the college of law. he is a mamber of Sigma Nu and Phi Delta Phi fraternities. Mr. and Mrs. Frank will make their home at Waterloo, where Mr. Frank is practicing law. _______ Delta Chi entertained at a dinner party at its chapter house thursday evening. Prof. and Mrs. H. F. Whickham were chaperons. Donald Shelby of Mitchell, S. Dak. is a guest at the Delta Chi house this week. Ensign Arlo Wilson, B. A. '12 assistant paymaster in the U. S.

Chaperons for the dance at the Park pavilion Friday were Mr. and Mrs. W. J. McDonald and Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Russell. Pauline Dodge and Frances Schlatter are visiting at the Dodge home in Des Moines this week end. ATHLETES GROUNDS AT NEW DORMITORIES If the new barracks should be converted into dormitories, as present plans indicate, space inside the quadrangle could be provided for tennis and hand ball. Should three hundred men, the number it is estimated may be housed in the new building, take up their residence across the river, facilities for all sports would be in demand. Many additional acres to the west of the buildings may be devoted to baseball and football fields and mass athletics. _________ C. E.

Everyone who wishes the joys of the open road is invited to come along. declares the Rev. W. C. Schafer. ________ Nellie Schiebel and Mary Brown are spending the week end at their home in Washington.
