The Daily Iowan The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa VOL. XVIII─NEW SERIES VOL. III IOWA CITY, IOWA, TUESDAY, MAY 13, 1919 NUMBER 99 DETROIT MINISTER EMPHASIZES HEBRAIC IDEA OF THE HEART Psychology of Freud is Basis of Vesper Sermon, "Highways in the Heart" MUSICAL PROGRAM PLEASES University Orchestra, Vesper Choir, Prof. Hays, Miss Cooper, Give Musical Numbers "What we need is a profound reorganization of our fundamental way of thinking of life," said the Rev. Gaius Glenn Atkins, pastor of the First Congregational church of Detroit, at the May vesper service Sunday afternoon in the natural science auditorium. His subject, "Highways in the Heart," was selected from the eighty-fourth Psalm. The Rev. Mr. Atkins showed the influence of roads in the development of mankind, and as a basis of civilization. He emphasized the Hebraic idea of the heart as all those characteristics which make up the life of the individual man. Divine Impulse Innote Freudian psychology formed the foundation of the entire sermon. Everything that has been done since primitive times influences our lives; and all our thoughts and dreams indicate our life. Unless the heart of man is right there can be no real development. There is nothing in this world which was not once some aspect of the unseen, the speaker declared. In the heart of man is the divine impulse said the Rev. Mr. Atkins. If this is not heeded, then the divine nature is atrophied and capacity is not developed. These divine influences are the influence of God in our life. He concluded that the movement of peace is an expression of this, saying, "I believe profoundly in the League of Nations." Uses Figurative Language Throughout his address, the Rev. Mr. Atkins expressed his thoughts in figures of speech, and apt illustrations. The University orchestra, under the direction of Dr. O. E. Van Doren, opened the services with Bach's "Schauspeil Overture." Prof. W. E. Hays and Miss Bertha Anne Cooper sang pleasing solos. The vesper choir, composed of the members of the Men's and the Women's Glee club, gave an anthem, "How excellent Thy Name," by Lester. The familiar Intermezzo from "Cavalliera Rusticana" was also played by the orchestra. The Rev. Ira J. Houston of the local Congregational church, read the invocation. HERBERT HOFFMAN BACK FROM FRANCE Herbert Hoffman, Phi Kappa and LL. B. '17, has just returned from long service overseas in the infantry. He was commissioned first lieutenant at the first Fort Snelling officer's training camp nearly two years ago, and received his call for duty in France several months later where he was engaged in different activities on various fronts. While in the University, Hoffman was prominent in dramatic circles and was president of the University Players in 1916. He left Friday morning for his home in Dubuque after a flying visit with his friends in school here. MAY PRESENT CLASS SONG Seniors Gather Saturday Night for Good-Time Mixer A male quartet composed of Rigler, Simonson, Mayne, and Mullany has been chosen for the senior mixer program to be held Saturday night at the women's gymnasium. It is probable that the senior song which is being arranged by the senior sing committeee [[committee], will be ready at this time and will be presented by the quartet. President W. A. Jessup and Clyde Jones, chairman of senior presidents, will be the speakers. Instrumental numbers and solos will also have a place on the program which is to precede the get-acquainted hour and general senior dance. Every member of the graduating class, in all colleges of the University, is invited to be present and take active part in the all-senior event. JUNIORS TO ELECT STAFF AND CIRCLE Ophelia Miller's Name Was Omitted from Nomination List─Voting is Today─8 to 4:30 Election to staff and circle will be held in the liberal arts hall today from 8 to 4:30. Twelve women of the twenty-two nominated at the annual junior breakfast will be chosen by the formal ballot of the junior women. By oversight the name of Ophelia Miller was omitted from the printed list of nominees. Because of delinquency of credit, an oversupply of credit hours, or the intention of the person nominated to leave school before the end of the next year, several names were struck off the eligibility list. Prior to the proliminary election Saturday morning Mrs. Nellie S. Aurner gave a brief analysis of the qualities desirable in Staff and Circle members. The spirit of service, compatability, strong personality, executive ability, and capacity for leadership were the chief characteristics she mentioned. Staff and Circle is "right hand man" to the dean of women, assisting freshmen to register and get located in the fall, and acting as advisory board to the dean throughout the school year. NEW PETITIONS FOR SOCIAL BOARD OUT John Schneider and Frank Shuttleworth have added their names to the list of those circulating petitions for election to the student social committee. The list is now as follows: Rodney Cobb, Helen Evans, Don Nasby, Iva Baker, Max Conrad, Mary Moss, Lucille Sawyer, John Schneider, and Frank Shuttleworth. Petitions must be presented to the committee on elections by 6 o'clock tomorrow evening. This committee is composed of one representative from each college: Ronald Reed, liberal arts, chairman W. Keith Hamill, law; Harry Dahl, medicine; Harry Ehred, dentistry; L. W. March, pharmacy; Alvin Hanapel, applied science. Dean George F. Kay will give an illustrated lecture on "Field Courses in Geology" Wednesday evening at 7:30 in room 109 old science. This lecture is open to everyone.

The fraternity was organized in 1776. Not until 1875 were women eligible for membership. Only three schools in the state have chapters of Phi Beta Kappa: Iowa, Grinnell, and Cornell, of which Iowa's is the oldest. Officers of the chapter here are Prof. F. C. Ensign, president; Dean Nellie S. Aurner, vice-president; and Bessie L. Pierce, secretary and treasurer. SENIOR WOMEN PLAN WEEK Mystery Day is Culmination of Three Days of Concentrated Fun Promotion of a stronger University spirit is the purpose of the plans for senior week as arranged at the senior women's mass meeting Thusrday, according to Lilian Prentiss, president of the class. All the events will take place within three days beginning Tuesday, May 20. The first will be the senior breakfast which will be combined with the annual May morning breakfast given by the Y. W. C. A.. A special table will be arranged for seniors. Thursday, which has been designated as "Mystery Day," is to be a gala day for seniors.

RHODES CANDIDATES APPLY More Definite Information as to Form May Come Later Inquiries concerning the application blanks for the Rhodes scholarship have been filed at the president's office during the last few months. Because of a new plan for the form of the blanks is under way, accurate knowledge with respect to the method of application is not to be had, and no one has been able definitely to apply for the scholarship. It is expected that after the consultation with the Oxford secretary of the Rhodes trustees who will be here in May, more definite information can be obtained. Prof. Jacob Van der Zee of the University was sent to Oxford in 1905 as Iowa's representative. SOLDIERS AND SAILORS TO MEET TOMORROW Capt. Robert Shaw and William Hart Will Speak Tomorrow Night at Auditorium Capt. Robert Shaw, commandant at Coe and William Hart, an attorney of this city, both former Iowa men, will be present at the monthly meeting of the S. U. I. legion tomorrow night in the natural science auditorium at 7:30. They have just returned from St. Louis where, as members of the Iowa state delegation, they attended the big opening national convention of the American legion. These men will talk about the initial effort of the men of the great war to unite into a new Grand Army of the Republic. They will tell of its vast attendance made up of delegations from every state in the union, of the work accomplished, of the fifty Iowa delegates, mostly graduates of this University who swung the convention in its choice of Minneapolis for the second meeting next fall in place of Chicago and finally of the extensive plan of operation that each state committee is undertaking in organizing the units within the state. The S. U. I. legion may become a part of the American legion and receive a charter upon proper application or it may remain an individual organization but still affiliate with the National legion. All men in the University who have seen service should come to the meeting if possible as further organization of the legion must be discussed. Some decision should be reached about the future status of the legion and whether it should become a chapter of the national society or only affiliate with it. Arrangements should be made for the closing meeting of the year, and a disposition made of the by-laws submitted by the committee on constitution and by-laws. Officers for next year should be elected. During the ensuing year many discharged soldiers and sailors will join their home organization of the American legion but that will not prohibit membership in the University legion, as the latter has the same end in view and is for the special purpose of providing a "post" at the University, because the students are unable to affiliate readily with their home organization. Orchestra will practice in band room tonight at 7. Everyone present. MINNESOTA REFUSES TO RUN MILE RELAY OR CONCEDE TO IOWA Hawkeyes Lose Track Meet in Schore of 72 to 63─Judge Gives Victory to Gophers IOWA MEN ARE INDIGNANT Claim Is Made That Colby Beat Opponent in 100 Yard Dash And Tied in 220 Iowa lost to Minnesota in the dual track meet at Minneapolis Saturday by the score of 72 to 63, after a close and hotly contested battle. The Gophers took an early lead in the track events, and although the Old Gold athletes made some brilliant performance in the field competition, their points gained in this department were not enough to win. Iowa men, spectators and athletes, returned from the Flour City highly indignant over the decisions of the Minnesota officials. It is alleged on all good authority that Charles Colby beat Holt of the Gophers team a good foot in the 100 yard dash, but one lone judge overruled the decision of two other judges at the finish and succeeded in giving the race to the Gopher. Mile Relay Scheduled In the 220 yard dash, the finish was again close between the same two men and the Gopher sprinter was again awarded the decision although the majority of the men at the finish line believed the race to be a dead heat. However, the most aggravating circumstance of the whole meet occurred near the end of the contest when the Minnesota coach refused to run a mile relay or concede the event to Iowa, although it was one of the regular scheduled events. The questionable conduct of the meet at Minneapolis has resulted in considerably wrathy comment on the campus here both among the athletes who participated and those few who were spectators on Northrup field. Six Men Place First Six Iowa men became eligible for the honor "I" by winning first places in the dual. Kostlan and Rosenbaugh copped their events on the track, the former winning the low hurdles in :27 flat and the latter taking a beautiful race in the half mile from McNally of Minnesota in 2:05. In the field contest, Clater, Mockmore, Sheedy and Brigham took their respective events easily. Sheedy hurled the javelin 162 feet 10 inches, beating the Gopher's nearest mark by many feet. Slates put the shot 39 feet 7 inches and Wallen and Mockmore grappled the four remaining points in this event. Brigham had no trouble winning the high jump at 5 feet 6 inches and then made an exhibition leap of 5 feet 10 inches, clearing the bar easily. Mockmore managed to show up the best the northmen had in the exent with a throw of 105 feet 10 inches. SENIOR PLAY TRY-OUTS "Alias Jimmy Valentine" by Paul Armstrong is the play chosen by the committee as the senior play. Try-outs will be Tuesdty, May 13 in natural science auditorium from 4 to 6. Everybody is urged to try-out for parts. There are especially many places for men.
