NIGHT EDITORS  Ruth Rogers  Marian Dyer   HIS FAVORITE TITLE  Unlike the average metropolitan daily, The Iowan conducts no departments of etiquette, of advice to the lovelorn, and similar personal sections which means so much to some readers in the way of helpfulness and to others in the way of amusement. The sole reason The Iowan has never assumed these responsibilities is because no one on its staff is competent to give advice in these very vital and intimate matters. Instead the paper is forced to beg suggestions of its readers, and it does today in the matter of professional etiquette.  Now, gentle reader, were you a reporter on a respectable college news sheet and much of your day's string depended on the mood and good will of professors in possession of certain facts, how would you address them, by what complimentary title?  Is it always diplomatic to call a man or woman with a doctor of philosophy degree "Doctor," a man who is a full-fledged, an associate, or an assistant professor, "Professor," and a respectable, if ill-paid instructor, "Miss" or "Mr."? It would seem so to the non-college class. Our experience, however, teaches us that such is not always desired by the doctor, professor, or instructor in question. They have little idiosyncrasies in this regard.  Like some ministers of the gospel who prefer to be called "Mr." rather than "Brother" (heaven bless them!) occasionally a Ph.D., wishes to be called "Professor" or "Mr." and instructors want to be distinguished in the matter of titles from ordinary individuals. And there are others whose dignity is so outstanding that even on request no mere reporter could commit the sacrilege of addressing them with a homely "Mr." And so, dear readers, you can gather that we are somewhat at sea.  Would it seem bold and a shade assuming on our part to request faculty members to have their names, with preferred titles, on their office doors, or to have printed cards (in the case of deans or men of high rank and a dignified wage, engraved cards) with their favorite title on them? But we would not be thought presumptuous, good gracious, no.   BEHIND THE SCENES  Behind the scenes of every profession and business is a region quite as interesting as that pertaining to the drama. In the dramatic world scene shifters, property men and stage directors are never seen; yet unless their duties are well and faithfully performed the play is a failure.  Behind the scenes of the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, which appeared here in concert yesterday is a modest man, who performs his arduous and necessary task absolutely unknown to the audience. This is Ademour M. Hoskins, librarian, who has full charge of the orchestra's collection of scores which are valued at something like $15,000. Before every concert Mr. Hoskins is responsible for the placing, in proper order, upon every musician's desk about 500 separate pieces of music, which he also must collect and return to their proper places at the close of the concert.  While the orchestra is on tour he has the added responsibility of packing and unpacking the music and seeing that the music trunk is ready for the baggage-man in time to have it put on board the orchestra's special train before it leaves for the next town. When one learns that during his eight years as librarian Mr. Hoskins has never lost one single sheet of music one realizes the competence of this secluded, but important member of the organization.   B. I. F. F.  Editor's note: The following rubber stamps of the men who seek to guide our steps in the stony path of knowledge are chiefly the gleaning from a labeled sheet posted on the Iowan office bulletin board. Any victims who wish to file libel suits please remember that reporters, not the editor, are chiefly responsible.   BRIGHT SAYINGS OF PROFESSORS  Pres. Jessup: We challenge----  Dean Kay: This is a wonderful world in which we live.  In the remaining ten minutes ---I was fortunate enough to be the only one.   Dr. Bose: China is a large country.  Sammy: His heart was big at bottom  On the one hand and---and on the other---  Race horse speed and lightning like rapidity.   Dr. Benjamin: Pardon me while I digress one moment.   Dr. Shambaugh: Oh, what shall I say?  This is a very fruitful field.  Prof. Weller: I may be sacrilegious.   Dr. Horack: The girl typewrote it.  Mr. Thayer: F'rinstance ---you know what I mean.   Dr. Mabel: And what not.   Dr. Prentiss: My Godfrey!   Tommy: Of course one can hardly say.  If anyone has a question---- (No one ever has).   Miss Waters: Voulez vous continuer.   Prof. Plum: I think it is fair to say---  There is no question in my mind---  As I said to my wife at breakfast---   (Continued in our next)   NEWMAN CLUB HOLDS ITS SPRING ELECTION  Luke Linnan was selected president; Rosalie Martin, vice-president' Grace Meloy, secretary; Claire Foley, historian, and Kenneth Bergner, treasurer, of the Newman club at the annual spring election Wednesday evening.
