PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN, STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Thursday, May 22, 1919 THE DAILY IOWAN A morning paper published for the period of the war four times a week─Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday 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.

A CAMPUS BEAUTIFUL With the possibilities of one of the most beautiful campuses in the country, we have one that looks far better at a distance than close up and with your specs on. For a time dandelion plants grew and flowered in the spots bare from grass, and the effect was not bad. Now in their late maturity, the dandelions look gaunt and repulsive in their hoary headedness, and with each gust of wind their winged seeds are flung broadcast over the campus. And still there are spots where not even dandalions thrive. We point to the new campus on the west side with pride. the buildings are spacious and impressive looking. But we secretly pray that our guests will study the landscape in the distance and not let their eyes fall on the Old Capitol's unstately back yard, the squatty houses below it, and the unsightly interurban bridge that disfigures the beauty of the background. Why can't the grounds at the rear of the Old Capitol be terraced down until they meet the pretty approach to the Avenue bridge? Why can't the house of the sign painter and the corner grocery be purchased, razed, and the ground sodded or put into tennis courts? These are matters like the improving of the nurses' home─for why should busy nurses have to walk up to Currier hall to see samples of landscape gardening?─which do not require vast expenditures of money or labor? All of these things can not be brought about in a week or in a year. But something can be done month by month toward campus improvement until we some day possess a campus beautiful. Who's Your Tailor? You can duplicate a suit price any place but a PRICE SUIT only one place Made to your Individual Measure E. V. Price JC $30.00 AND UPWARDS J. R. KEMPSTON Opposite Englert Theatre WHAT OTHERS THINK Why cannot the University women who did government work in Washington during the war get University credit just as much as the soldier or sailor, former government clerks who are now back in school are asking? Surely grinding at infinite detail in a large over-crowded city was as patriotic as serving in the S. A. T. C. or doing K. P. in some inland camp. Many University girls interrupted their studies to do their bit in Washington when the drive for more government clerks and stenographers was one; they left congenial home for the uncertain comfort of boarding houses, and the interesting variety of the University day for the monotonous grind of government work. And after they found that life in the Nation's capital was not all pleasure, that being half-crushed in street cars, and standing in line for half an hour for food was to be daily expected, even then they stuck, and only returned home upon the disintegration of their respective boards. The work of statistical clerks, order clerks, and private secretaries is assuredly as skilled as that of any doughboy or gob whose day consisted of marching, drilling, etc.; and in the business world a private secretaryship to a big man should be recognized as equal to that of a second lieutenancy in the army. There is too much currency given to the idea that the girls who served Uncle Sam in wartimes had an "interesting experience." Although knowing Washington had its compensations, still the girl who went there unacquainted with the city and its people deserves as much credit as the man who enlisted in the army or navy. Is the University of Iowa going to recognize that patriotism; or is it going to recognize only man's part in the War? D. M. Mrs. Fred Davis of Sutherland is visiting her daughter Alleene.

ENGINEERS WANTED For the past few weeks many demands for the services of graduate engineers have been coming in to the head of the department of applied science. Dean Raymond states that these requests are numerous, and varied in their nature, some of them coming from old graduates but many from firms who have never had any connection with the school. Positions are open in all branches of engineering and are only waiting for the men to fill them. Many of these requests are very desirable and will soon be filled.
