PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Sunday, January 26, 1919 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 News Editor Ruth Rogers Pink Sheet Editor Helen Hays Humorous Editor Elizabeth Hendee Exchange Editor Marie Kellogg Sporting Editor Leon H. Brigham BUSINESS STAFF Romola Latchem--Buesiness Manager Telephone 935 Office Hours--3-5 daily 103 Iowa Av. Edw. Chamberlain--Advertising Mgr. "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came."--Lincoln. Night Editors Ethyn Williams Agnes Kingsbury BURIED TREASURE Modern Robin Hoods, Toms and Hucks, or even half dozen unvisionary workmen could reveal some valuable treasure about the University if they took their tools and went to work. Down the hill at the armory, the old S. A. T. C. mess hall floor covers one of the University's most valuable possessions in view of the season. Right now whem small colleges of the state have squads of men training for track meets, Iowa has no place for her thinly clads to get in form. The cinder track which lies beneath the mess hall floor should be restored to the light of day and for the tramp of runners immediately. When the reclamation of the women's swimming pool took place after the death knell and obsequies of the S. A. T. C., the cinder track was left concealed because University authorities had visions of a cafeteria. Now that the cafeteria plan has been dropped and returning soldiers make labor plentiful the cinder track should be restored. At least fifteen old track men are registered in the University now, enough to form the nucleus of the best team Iowa ever produced. Trainer Watson will soon send out the call, and if the men can start training immediately on an indoor track they should repeat last year's surprising record in state meets. Let the buried treasure be exhumed. THE GOVERNMENT PLAYS FAIR Notice has just been received from the government that refunds will be made to all students who made deposits to cover the housing, subsistence, or tuition previous to their induction into the S. A. T. C. It will be recalled that the instructions which came to the University from the government last fall gave the assurance that, as soon as possible after registration day, probably on or about October 1, opportunity would be given for all regularly enrolled students to be inducted into the Students' Army Training Corps, which induction would provide housing, subsistence, and tuition. When it became known that the government would be unable to induct all the men without delay the University undertook to provide housing and subsistence at the rate of one dollar per day to all men seeking induction. It was felt at the time that, since neither the University nor the students were responsible for the delay in induction, the government would deal fairly with the young men by refunding to them such payments as they would be required to make up to the time they were actually inducted. That which was fully expected would be done by the government has been done. It will be a source of satisfaction to all the soldiers who were connected with the Students Army Training Corps that such fears as some of them may have had that the University was dealing unfairly with them or that they would not be repaid by the government were entirely without justification. WHAT'S IN A GRADE? A careless attitude toward grades is being cultivated by campus talk. The person who works for grades is held up for derision, and the lazy student considers himself virtuous because he isn't "a stupid grind." Whether grades count for anything or not, the man or woman with the Phi Beta Kappa key is more apt to secure a position than a score of competitors with a "C" average. When looking up the records of applicants, it is a rare employer who does not concern himself with the grades these applicants made during their college course. Not that they believe "A's" and "B's" are through tickets to Success, but it does show them that good consistent work has been done, and the steady worker in college is apt to be the dependable person in business. The idea of humoring one's fancies in college work and devoting special attention to those thing only in which one believes himself temperamentally fitted is gaining followers on the campus. To follow one's natural bent and to be interested in it primarily are conducive to success in that field. But to pursue a single subject to the exclusion of all others is most narrowing. Subjects are interrelated to such an extent that he who studies only one thing is ignorant of it as well as all others. The college grind is as much a bore as the man who is a slave to making money. But the person who takes a whole-hearted and constant interest in his studies is the man who is apt to put business before golf and earn a comfortable living for his family and the respect of the community. The actual knowledge gained in some subjects through thorough study may not be great, but the habit of doing everything well is one worth cultivating. Let's do away with this foolish talk about grades not counting for anything. The work a student does at the University, even though he won't admit it, is a fair sample of what he will do all his life. Ruth Brothers has left school and gone to her home in Laurens.

The infant class of 1922 displayed the only example of genuine pep exhibited this year in a class election. With three tickets backed by strong machines, they smashed the latest theory that Iowa class spirit will turn up among the belated war casualties.
