PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Saturday, March 29, 1919 THE DAILY IOWAN 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 Member Iowa College Press 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, Gretchen Kane, secretary, E.M. McEwen, E.S. Smith, Alice E. Hinkley, M. Elizabeth Hendee, Mary Anderson EDITORIAL STAFF MILDRED E. WHITCOMB, Editor-in-chief Telephone, Black 1757; Office Hours - 8-12; 1-6 daily, Room 14. L.A. Building Rowena Wellman - Managing Editor Associate Editor Ralph E. Overholser News Editor Eileen Galvin Exchange Editor Nancy Lamb Humorous Editor M. Elizabeth Hendee Sports Editor Leon H. Brigham BUSINESS STAFF ROMOLA LATCHEM - Business manager Telephone 935; Office Hours- 3-5 daily, 103 Iowa Ave. "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came."--Lincoln Night Editors Beth Wellman Marian Dyer OPEN THEM TO THE PUBLIC Womankind of this Mid-Western campus is growing more red blooded. It gives one a good feeling to watch this movement towards sport and athletics, this entrance of the many rather than the robust few into competitive contests of physical skill and endurance. All praise to the girl who started the inter-sorority basketball tournament. Due glory to her who brought about the first swimming contest. And let's not forget that energetic corps of gym instructors who are putting new life into that once blue-nailed physical education. Just why have women's athletics been so carefully guarded, so little discussed, and of such a gentle and unaspiring nature? Men go into athletics for the real love of it, true, but also for the glory and prowess they attain. Women need to have such inducements held out to them. Contests, public ones, with some deep-voiced rooting mingled with feminine cries, cups, insignia, athletic dinners, field and track meets, all of these would appeal to women, heighten their interest in sports, and result in corresponding physical development. The day when the Iowa woman is content to juggle a powder puff, to dance the latest wiggle, and to stroll in the pale moonlight for physical development is gone. She wants a place in college sports. If she is a champion hockey or tennis player she wants her picture in the papers in full costume, and she would appreciate a crowd to witness her triumphs. Other universities, Wisconsin conspicuously, have annual field and track meets for women, conducted on the same basis as the men's sport. Iowa can do this as well. Such activity is an asst to a school. It provides wholesome recreation based on rivalry, and it teaches women how to be game losers and modest victors. The Iowan believes this University can become a leader in women's sports. The time is ripe. More enthusiasm is being displayed now at the gymnasium than ever before, and it will continue to grow. But girls' games should be open to the public. No reason exists why their contests should be veiled in mystery. Playing before a crowd would inspire them; no girl would fail to show up at practice if she knew the advertisement at bottom Dancing from 8:45 to 11:45 VARSITY DANCE Company A Armory Varsity 8 Piece Orchestra FRIDAY EVE., MARCH 28 SATURDAY EVE. MARCH 29 top of next column whole student body was going to witness her ability in games. Let's be done with this false modesty which denies the woman athlete the right to appear in public in a more sensible costume than she wears on the street. Thsi convent and boarding school idea of athletics, this absurd eastern notion has no place in our University. Let women's field meets, women's basketball games, women's swimming contests assume their proportionate place in the scheme of University athletics. Open every contest to the public, and the result will be the mutual stimulation of interest in women's sports to the girls and to the student body as a whole. Come now. PROFESSOR LOOS The Political Science club today mourns the death of its founder. Its members as well as the organization have lost a sympathetic and wise counsellor. They as well as it have lost a friend, one whose personal interests have always given way for the good of others, whose keen intelligence and large heart have brought to him innumerable problems to solve, the responsibility for which he has never shifted to the shoulders of others. The members of the Social Science group in the State University of Iowa would recognize in this informal way the great service of Professor I.A. Loos to the Social studies in the University. They would express their recognition of his splendid leadership, of his unswerving loyalty to his institution and to his associate, of his broad catholic views which have enabled him to rise above self interest, and literally to give his life for the institution which he has served. They would also recognize his friendship, those qualities of heart which made him the friend of young men, as well as the lovable associate, which led him to encourage merit even in fields apart from his own and to give wise counsel to the younger associates in his labors. Therefore, be it resolved: advertisement SABINS: EDCATIONAL EXCHANGE Founded 1893 A.M.M. DORNON, Manager The most widely patronized, because the most reliable Teachers Agency in the Middle West.

Repectfully submitted, BENJ. F. SHAMBAUGH H.G. PLUM A PSYCHOPATHIC HOSPITAL A bill before the legislature which ought not to fail to pass is that one establishing a psychopathic hospital at Iowa City in connection with the medical department of the state university. The purpose in the creation of this department is to provide for the examination scientifically and accurately of people who are presumed to be mentally unsound. Many mental troubles are caused by slight physical defects easily curable in their incipiency. With an institution of this kind in operation in the state nobody is likely to be committed to an asylum for the insane without the fact first being established that such an institution is the proper place for them. This institution, attached to the State Medical college, will be a distinct credit to the state. It will be a manifestation of our interest in and our desire to minister to afflicted humanity with the most scientific agencies for their service.--Council Bluffs Nonpariel. advertisement TAXI PHONE 1700 MURPHY'S SERVICE Office HOTEL JEFFERSON advertisement Have you tried BANNER DAIRY LUNCH for a meal?

It develops, however, that few of these men are getting jobs. The cities have their own quotas of returning men to take care of and are giving them preference. The result is that the labor market in the larger centers is already glutted. Men without jobs or money are walking the streets hungry. Begging and crime are on the increase. This is bad for the boys and bad for the big towns and the remedy is simple. Keep your boys at home- see that they are given the facts about the situation in the larger centers. It is the plain duty of every citizen to interest himself in this matter. First National Bank
