"I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed  best each day as each day came."--Lincoln. 

SHOW YOUR PEP Iowa's reputation for a fast eleven has spread. When Mr. Jones attended the Chicago meeting of coaches this week, he had no difficulty in matching up his squad with the strongest teams in the conference. Other Big Ten coaches were not so fortunate. The Varsity's ability meets a keener appreciation at other institutions than here, if judgments are to be drawn from the only available datum, the sale of I  tickets. The athletic board under adverse conditions has made every effort to schedule games for the University with the very best material in the middle west, and they have succeeded better than they themselves hoped for. The squad has already developed into a surprising capacity. But board, coaches, and team are powerless without the old Iowa spirit behind them, the spirit that comes only with the co-operation and loyalty of every student in the University. On account of the epidemic, mass meetings have been abolished, temporarily, at least. That splendid outlet of enthusiasm and devotion to the Varsity squad is gone. Only one method is left to display the real Iowa spirit. Buy an I ticket. The women who have held off in hope that an admittance would be theirs through the courtesy and attention of a soldier have waited in vain. Quarantine has shattered such expectations. Only one method is left to show their real Iowa spirit. Buy an I ticket. Saturday there will be a game with an opponent not so tender as some would think. And after that there will be games with as strong teams as ever fought on Iowa Field. The lay student cannot fight on the gridiron. Only one method is left

AVOID TOO MUCH COLOR
In these rushing, pell mell, helter skelter times, the college student is apt to appease his literary appetite on black headlines, yellow bulletins, and Red and Blue Books. Further than that in the realm of current literature he does not explore. As a result, the strategic importance of the Bagdad railway and the fourteen conditions of an allied peace are familiar to the ears rather than the mind. An hour a day set aside for the reading of city dailies, a current magazine article, or a book on the war would add more to the general intelligence of the student in several hours' study of remote subjects. An hour a day for reading habit should be recommended next in line to brushing the teeth. An artistic taste in literature will shrink at too much color. Much misinformation is gained by the hurried reader from headline newspaper reading. Due to brevity and the inelasticity of type the most cautious newspaper occasionally qualifies headline statements in the story proper until the meaning is altered measurably. Unfortunately, too, Mr. Hearst still runs papers, as does Mr. Brisbane with the help of kindly and disinterested brewers, and it is their readers who take part in such demonstrations as the "shirt tail parade" that followed the announcement of Germany's peace offers. Too much color is there failing. Just because a book is on the war book shelf is no indication that Edward O'Brien has smiled upon it. The student must not reach for war books indiscriminately. A poor war book is a pitiful thing; many of them base their only claim to that title on the red goriness of their plot. An hour a day with a conservative newspaper, a standard war book, or a reputable magazine is as good an investment for the college student as a liberty bond, and in them interest increases daily.

WHAT OTHERS THINK
To The Editor:
Your article in last Thursday's Iowan made direct appeal to myself and, I'm sure, to other women of the University who would welcome military drill as a form of physical training for women. For reasons other than the excellence of the training as such, it would be a profitable innovation. We women are woefully lacking in information concerning the rudiments of military organization. But reliable knowledge of such things can come only through repeated experience with the various phases and rankings of complete military organization; we must live in it in order to know it. That is why we don't like to be laughed at when we don't know how many individuals make up a squad, a company, or division; and we don't all of us know that a silver bar denotes higher rank than a gold bar. Incidentally, we would welcome instruction about the Flag: how it should be carried, how used for decorating, how hoisted. We who were not Campfire Girls feel the need of a better understanding of its significance. Perhaps we might even come to manifest more reverence by rising to our feet and KEEPING SILENCE when the Star Spangled Banner is being played. Possibly the readers cannot see how the substitution of military drill for calisthenics or hockey will enable us better to understand and the tremendous organization of which our brothers are now a part, or show more becoming demeanor towards Old Glory, but I feel that they are each a part of the other, and I pledge myself to elect military drill in addition to the other required gymnasium work, if only the department can see its way clear to offer us the course for which we're asking. I hope, ye editor, that you will continue to present the proposition to your readers and ask that we may hear from others either in favor of or opposed to military drill for women. A. Senior Woman.
