PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Thursday, October 24, 1918 THE DAILY IOWAN The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa MEMBER IOWA COLLEGE PRESS A morning paper published for the period of the war three times a week--Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday--by The Daily Iowan Publishing company at 103 Iowa avenue, Iowa City Entered as second class matter at the post office of Iowa City, Iowa Subscription Rate $2.00 per year EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-chief Mildred E. Whitcomb Telephone Black 1757 Office Hours--8 to 12; 1 to 6 daily, Room 14, L. A. building. Managing editor Rowena Wellman News Editor--Agnes Kingsbury Humorous Editor--Elizabeth Hendee[[?]] Exchange Editor--Ethyn Williams Feature Editor--Ruth Stewart Sporting Editor G. W. Evans BUSINESS STAFF Romola Latchem--Business Manager Telephone 935 Office Hours--daily, 103 Iowa Avenue Night Editor Agnes Kingsbury Assisted by Ethyn Williams "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came."--Lincoln "PACK UP YOUR TROUBLES" Echoes from France carry back to us the strains of that soldier ditty, "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag and Smile, Smile Smile." Writers say that no other song is so popular among the English speaking fighters. The reason why it jjumps so readily to the tongue of the campaigner in foreign lands is because it meets one of his most piquant needs. A soldier must have something to bolster him up. Not that his courage or his determination wavers in the slightest degree; it is his spirit that droops under exacting He needs jollying. His life is restricted until he is concerned almost entirely with the ordinary matters of living. He has nothing to distract his interest from patty discomforts, no luxury to counteract slight grievances. As a result the soldier is very apt to fall into a state of pessimism which transforms every petty obstacle or discomfort into a mountain of ill-luck. Various agencies are organized to combat this tendency on the part of our fighting men. The Y. M. C. A devotes much of its energy to amusing the men. Army officials encourage sports and other distractions. But the final fate of Private Gloom and General Pessimism must be in the hands of the soldier himself. Members of the Students' Army Training Corps should grasp the idea now that they will make army life either tolerable or intolerable for themselves. If they begin now to grumble at the food, grumble at the uniforms, grumble at the cold weather, they will have a miserable existence. Soldiers and officers-to-be, pack up your troubles. Make the best of all things. Take inconveniences as a matter of course, if you must, and look ahead. When you seem overwhelmed, do your best, and you'll get ahead. Smile, boys, it's the style.-- The Daily Illini. WHAT OTHERS THINK The Daily Iowan will gladly print any communications from students or faculty members. The writer must sign the article to show his good faith in sending it, but no name will be printed if the sender so designates To the Editor: Are we willing to put our Greek secret societies to the test of "the ideals we are fighting for" is the question in the mind of Flora Robinson, a correspondent to "The New Republic" for October 19, 118. Miss Robinson belonged to [2nd column] a national sorority of Goucher College, Baltimore, in 1908. Acting with Jesse Woodrow Wilson, now Mrs. Frances B. Sayre. she finally withdrew, because they could not reconcile "certain inherent characteristics of the system" with their ideals of Christion democracy. It is interesting to note that president Wilson stood by them in the action to which their conclusions led them. In Madison, Wis., last year, this same problem culminated in 18 girls from five of the leading sororities handing in their pins because they had tried in vain to inculcate into their sororities the true democratic spirit. These 18 girls were the leaders on the campus, one of them, Alice VanHise, is the daughter of the president of the University. Did you ever think about the simplicity of the situation in our own L. A. lobby as you pass through between classes? Over by the north window are the Kappas, exclusively, by the south window stand the Pi Phis, the Tri Delts are grouped in front of the door waiting for a freshman to bring over the morning mail. Oh yes, to be sure", you say, "that is what they are grouped together for, to get their morning mail. It is a great advantage but non-sority girls exper-vantage but non-sorority girls exper-ceiving their mail. Be frank girls, are we democratic?--A Sorority Girl MEET MISS __________ In these days of distracted interests, to meet a woman who has a real purpose is a rare pleasure. Such a woman is Miss Leila McGuire, the new Food Administrator, at the home economics building. Already she has come to prominence by her work durin gthe epidemic, at the Masonic Temple, in ppreparing and serving food for the sick men. Her introduction into Iowa City and her induction into service was simultaneous. There during the days that the epidemic ravished the city, she lent her head and her hands willingly in aid. Always ready for emergencies of any kind, she showed her ability early in the year. Miss McGuire is an Ohio woman, the daughter of an optician. She received all of her education, both her high school and her college training at Columbus. After having received her B. S. degree at Ohio State University, she remained a year at the University as assistant, and also began work on her M. S. degree, which she expects to receive this summer. Miss Wardall was head of the department of hoe economics at the Ohio State University when Miss McGuire was a freshman there. Besides classes in foods, Miss McGuire will instruct the nurses in hospital dietetics. She spent last year at a hospital as a dietetian, so she is especially qualified for this work. Miss McGuire is very cordial. She talks more readily about yourself than about herself. Her interest in her work is contagious; she is so practical herself, she instills into others the desire to achieve real results in their work. She knows her subject, loves girls and likes Iowa--and therein her success here as a teacher is assured. Her way of receiving people would make a receiving line a joy. CONFERENCE POSTPONED The conference of social workers, which was to have been held in Muscatine Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week has been postponed until the latter part of November or the first of December, because of the state quarantine. Send The Iowan home [3rd column] NEED MORE WORKERS TO MAKE GARMENTS Influenza Epidemic Has Retarded Progress of Relief Work for the Belgians Miss Delia Hutchinson, who is in charge of the Belgian relief work which is now progressing slowly at the refugee garment shop on East Washington street, states that a larger working force was absolutely necessary to insure the completion of the latest quota in a short time. "The influenza epidemic," she stated, "has seriously retarded the speed with which the work was formerly progressing and those few who have not been afflicted with the disease and who have volunteered their services to the cause have found it necessary to work later and harder than ever before. Our present quota is large and is only abut half completed. Nearly 40 skirts are yet to be made and our time will soon expire." In view of the great need for more workers, it is urged that all those women that have time for the work, help the local movement to the best of their ability. The refugee garment shop is located opposite the Englert theater. Working days are Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. The rooms are open from ten to twelve o'clock in the mornings, and from 1:30 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. QUARANTINE DELAYS TEACHERS MEETING Many Members of the University Faculty Will Take Part On the Program The sixty-fourth annual session of the Iowa State Teachers' association, which was scheduled to meet in Des Moines October 31, and Nov. 1 and 2, has been postponed on account of the state quarantine for 30 days. The general theme of this session will be "The Problem of Democratic Education in the Coming Perior of Social and Economic Reconstruction." William H. Taft was to have been one of the speakers, but because of the change of date it may not be possible for him to be present. The University will be represented by many members of the faculty. Those taking part in the program will be President W. A. Jessup, Dean G. F. Kay, Prof. F. C. Ensign, Dr. E. D. Starbuck, Dr. Arthur Steindlar, Prof R. A. Stevenson, Dr. .C. S. Sea[s?]hore, Prof. CH. H. Weller, Prof. E. L. Lauer, Dean William Russell, Prof H. L. Dodge, and Lieut. R. H. Sylvester, formerly connected with the psychology department but now at Camp Dodge. UNIVERSITY ARTISTS WIN MANY PRIZES Prizes at the state fair art exhibit this summer were captured in large numbers by University of Iowa artists. Claude A. Patterson for three years instructor in graphic and plastic arts at the University took individual honors, receiving five prizes. Edit Bell, a University instructor won second in water colors on a landscape sketch. Edna Patzig, another instructor in the University art department won third in the oil painting class.
