PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Tuesday, December 3, 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 BOARD OF TRUSTEES C.H.Weller, chairman, E.M. McEwen, E.S. Smith, Gretchen Kane, Alice Hinkley, M.Elizabeth Hendee, Mary Anderson 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 Night Editor Agnes Kingsbury Assisted by Kathryn Fritson News Editor..Agnes Kingsbury Humorous Editor..Elizabeth Hendee Exchange Editor..Ethyn Williams Feature Editor..Ruth Stewart Sporting Editor..G.D. Evans BUSINESS STAFF Romola Latchem--Business Manager Telephone 935 Office Hours--daily, 103 Iowa Avenue "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came." --Lincoln. DEMOBILIZATION OF WOMEN Three months will see many readjustments in the industrial world. Women employed in munition trades and other occupations vacated by men will be shifting into other employment. These women will be happy to welcome their sweetheart, brother, or husband. They will extend to him the hand of true fellowship. They will be proud of him and of all that he has done for the good old U.S.A. Furthermore they will appreciate him more than ever before. They will receive their soldier man with open arms. But will they receive him with an open job. The women in the last few weeks have anticipated reduction of wages and the cutting down of factory and office forces. Many are now trying to find other employment. Others who have tasted the independence of the wage earner, will want to continue. They will not care to return to house-keeping, staying at home, and other old-time feminine employments. But the fact stands out that before the men of the National army are demobilized, there should be some disposition of the women problem. In some quarters the question is already acute. It behooves us as a University public to weigh facts carefully for within a short time we will be going forth into this commercial world. The problem will continue to be a live one for the next generation. CASTLES IN THE AIR Dreaming of success is a pleasant pastime. In idle hours to sit in a comfortable library at home and to think of the future are delights to most of us. Perhaps this castle building is more prevalent in University circles than elsewhere, because we are going forth eventually into the world of business and professional life. To think of your place in the world twenty years from now and to pin your thinking down to definite possibilities are an entirely different thing. You may dream of being a senator, a corporation lawyer, a consulting engineer, a manufacturing chemist or a noted physician. But aren't the possibilities twenty to one that you will be a small town lawyer with an insurance agency as a side issue, a second rate doctor, a clerk in a drugstore, of[or?] a county politician. It's all right to dream. But college days slip away and sometimes our studies, our dances, our associations have little place for real ambition and genuine service to mankind. It's all right to build castles in the air. The job before you now is to put a foundation under them. JUST COURTESY The squad, or platoon, or company (we don't know what it was) was marching along the street in a rather comfortable way! slouchily and with no apparent effort to get anywhere within a given time. Down the sidewalk came three girls, chatting among themselves and paying no attention to the approaching group. Suddenly someone in the bunch--it didn't seem to have a leader--gave the command, "eyes right." Every man obeyed the order and the girls were forced to submit to that form of humiliation until they had passed. Another group of men (or perhaps it was the same one) were shuffling along in much the same manner and again passed a group of girls on the sidewalk who were paying absolutely no attention to them. This time the men not only "gave them the once over" but hurled at them such choice sayings as, "Oh, you kiddo," "Hello sister," and "Got a date tonight?" It's a little thing--this matter of courtesy. But to the man of college age, it's a very noticeable feature. The women in both instances were University women (which made little difference), and as such, they should command the respect of University men.--The Daily Illini. B.I.F.F. The following effort must be blamed on Column Write, the usual perpetrator of B.I.F.F., who stands responsible for more than enough already. Some contributor who knew too much to sign his legal cognomen mailed the ensuing stanzas under the name of Crae Z. Puhle, and he alone is to be reckoned with. As the girls see it Loud alarm Wash your face; Down to breakfast-- Have to chase. Eight o'clock Land a flunk; Nine o'clock Spread the bunk; See your room-mate Just at ten; Same old story Mad again! Find your chum Has the "Flu" And you're feeling Mighty blue. Noon arrives, A speedy feed Now some cramming What you need. Gushing gossips In your room Mighty little Cramming done. Dinner, then A frat dance date. Man arrives An hour late Feeling in A grouchy mood You don't treat him As you should. Back again Just at ten And a little Cramming then. Hit the hay Work undone; College life Where's the fun? As the men see it Revielle! Curse the the Lieut, And the man Who plays the "flute," Down to roll call Have to chase-- Then a chance To feed your face, Now some drilling, Then to class; Wish you had A five day pass. Phone your girl For a date, Fix it up For half-past eight. Feeling like A millionaire When you meet The sergeant's stare, You know what It's going to be, And you get it, More K.P.! But at last You fill the date Get there half An hour late, Find your girl Feeling fine, Leave there fifty After nine! M.P. coming Up the street "Right about" You beat retreat. How you wish You could fly But you manage To "get by" And you drop On you cot. Dreaming, army Life is NOT. Pauline Hoover of Oskaloosa is visiting Dorothy Kelley.
