PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN, STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Tuesday, May 20, 1919 THE DAILY IOWAN A morning paper published for the period of the war four times a week--Tuesday, Thursday, 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 Harold Chamberlin BUSINESS STAFF ROMOLA LATCHEM--Business manager Edward Chamberlin--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. Senior editor Rowena Wellman News editor Agnes Kingsbury Editorials Ethyn Williams Senior Contributors Ruth Rogers Agnes Dawson Romola Latchem Elizabeth Hendee SENIOR WEEK "I don't want to graduate." Thus wails the senior who finds herself in the lamentable position of being rudely thrust out into the cold- cruel world. She realizes that undergraduate days are over--the days when one receives. Alumna days begin when one pays back with loyalty and service the debt of her alma mater. But, to overcome this serious prospect, senior week gaily trips upon the scene. In spite of dignified senior caps, the women of the class of 1919 plan to sing, picnic, even skip their classes with no fear of professional wrath, this week. The "I don't want to graduate" feeling is replaced by a thrill of pride in the fact that she is privileged to be a senior, and by a warmth of feeling for her class mates. Senior week will serve to bind the women of the class together in closer friendship. The traditions started by the class of 1918 are being carried on by the women of 1919. Senior week is to be more than an adventure--it is the democratic, loyal spirit, the mingling of pleasure with the prospect of service. It will constitute one of the happiest memories of the women of the class of 1919. WHAT SHALL WE DO ABOUT IT? When an excellent orchestra, good refreshments, and a clever program of the best talent, fails to attract more than a twentieth of the members of the class to an all-senior mixer, what is the fault? What is the remedy? When Phi Beta Kappa nominees evince little or no interest in class activities, declare themselves too absorbed in "major" matters to be concerned with such "minor" details as wearing the black cap for senior week, are they forgetting that the academic cap and gown are but the manifestation of the tradition which has given rise to the honorary fraternity whose key they so proudly accept? Are the graduation ceremonies of less moment than the three stars of distinction after one's name? And when Phi Beta Kappas must spend Saturday evening in the reference room in preference to congenial meeting with their classmates, why have any social activities? When class presidents do not even respond to endeavors to effect harmony and fellowship between students of the different colleges, when Varsity or Redmen's hall has a stronger call than fellow students, when senior women decide not to go to the senior party because at a late hour they get a chance for a "date," when squads of men wander from one crowded movie theater to another seeking diversion not half so wholesome and far less enjoyable than the class mixer, what can be the matter? We except the laws for they respond wholeheartedly to the efforts in behalf of a closer organization and co-ordination among the seniors; they realize the importance of a Greater Iowa. But the rest of us, is our commencement to fail miserably? Is the crowning event of our whole University course to be medley of diversified interests, each person thinking only of himself and none for the glory of his University? Seniors, are we forgetting our obligations to our school, and are we by our inertia going to defeat the promotion of a Great Iowa? WHAT OTHERS THINK O HEART BE JUST? Excuse of Seniors from all final examinations at the end of the quarter is requested by at least 200 students in the University. Surely Commencement time with all its round of social activity should not be interrupted by piling on needless examinations. Parents and friends are here to be entertained, senior festivities must be attended, and classmates long to be together in the last few hours of their college career. Seniors in the past have been known to take as many as four finals on their last day of school-- Now are examinations to be the parting reminder of our college days or can we have some other provision? Could examinations be given earlier in the week, be partially dispensed with, or thrown completely out of the curriculum of the Senior week. Oh heart be just; remember you were a Senior not so long ago. You disapproved of the existing abominable system at the busiest and happiest time of the year. Many universities and colleges have disbanded the idea of Senior examinations, and it has worked successfully. Surely if Iowa wishes to keep step with her sister schools she should follow up. The faculty should seriously regard the senior situation, not for kindness, but in justice to those who have fulfilled for the most part, their obligation. A. K.
