STUDENTS CAUGHT IN SUNDAY'S STORM Many students who were canoeing Sunday were caught in one of the heaviest rain storms of the season. Trees along the banks of the river provided somewhat unsatisfactory means of shelter. Those who were near the Country club were given an opportunity to seek refuge from the down-pour. Canoeing has been one of the most popular sports at Iowa this spring. Nearly every Sunday all the canoes are rented for the Mid-River trip. STATE EXAMINATIONS State bar examinations will be held at the college of law on June 24-5-6. TO GIVE DENTAL COURSES Dentistry students who have not completed all their work and those who wish to do further work will be offered a clinical course during the summer session. About thirty students are expected to register. Classes in chemistry and medical courses will also be open. The clinic will be open from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. daily for the summer session. IOWAN POSITIONS ELECTED TONIGHT Final Application for Editor and Business Manager Must Be Turned in Today Applications will be accepted today for editor and business manager of the Daily Iowan. They must be handed in to Prof. C. H. Weller's office by five o'clock this afternoon. The election was postponed until today because of the small number of applications received. Only one person has so far applied for the position of editor, and three for that of business manager. There are no restrictions upon candidates; any student in the University may apply. The board of trustees wishes more applications. Those who have applied or who will apply today will meet with the board in Dr. Weller's office, room 11 L. A. building, at 7 o'clock this evening. The candidates will be interviewed by the board at this time and the election will follow. The stipulated salary of both the editor and business manager is $250 a year, payable monthly, and both share in the net profits. At the meeting of the board Tuesday night the new board was installed. Dorothy Lingham was elected secretary, and W. J. McChesney was reelected treasurer of the Daily Iowan Publication company. SUMMER TERM FOR NURSES University Will Offer Course of Science Essentials The summer session will include a preparatory or pre-nursing course, with studies that will cover the fundamentals of a natural science essential for the trained nurse. The entire course in nursing covers three years, of twelve months each, including the time occupied for pre-nursing studies. Iowa was the first university to offer this pre-nursing term whereby the duration of the course may be shortened for women who are college graduates or have pursued two or more years of collegiate study. The maximum reduction for college graduates is nine months, and for collegiate upper classmen, six months. Pre-nursing studies which will be offered this summer are as follows: Anatomy, chemistry, foods and their preparation, bacteriology, history of nursing, and elementary nursing and hospital economy. Instruction in all of these studies will be given by the regular members of the staffs of the college of liberal arts and the college of medicine. HAWKEYE POSITIONS TO BE FILLED TODAY The business manager and editor of next year's Hawkeye will be elected at a meeting of the Hawkeye board this noon in Dr. C. H. Weller's office. The candidates must be juniors next year. ATHLETES DINE AT COUNTRY CLUB AS GUESTS OF BOARD One Hundred and Fifty Men Transported In Cars For Annual Athletic Dinner DR. PRENTISS PRESIDES Greenwood, Brown, and Berrien, Captains, Respond to Toasts Following Dinner The following men were elected to captain the Iowa sports for next year at the athletic dinner last evening: Basketball, Leo Nicolaus Baseball, Carter Hamilton Track, Leon Brigham Basketball, baseball, and track men of the University to the number of one hundred and fifty were given a dinner last night at the Country club by the Athletic board. All men who won and "I", and "I 2", or a numeral in basketball, baseball, or track this year, and other athletes who did good work in one of these sports received invitations. The men assembled in front of Coast's store a little before 6 o'clock, and were taken up the river in automobiles. Several trips had to be made to transport the party. After the dinner there was a program of speeches. Dr. H. J. Prentiss presided, and the three captains of the teams, Brown, Greenwood, and Berrien, responded to short talks. Because most of the men are busy with examinations at the present time, the men were brought back to town at an early hour. Last night's dinner is a part of the annual program of the Athletic board. The football men held their celebration last winter. Since the adoption of the method of giving dinners and mixers in honor of the athletes of the University, there has been a great increase in interest of all sports. This new interest is most marked in track. This year and last year were banner years in this branch of athletics. More men were out for practice and a better showing was made than for several seasons before the new policy was adopted. "HEROD" IS WELL GIVEN Dramatic Students Present Difficult Tragedy Playing their difficult roles in a highly creditable manner, members of the class in educational dramatics appeared in "Herod", their last play this season at the Englert theatre last night. Special mention must be made of the work of Charles V. Brown who, as "Herod" played with all the power and reserve demanded by the part. Marth Darrah as Marianne, the Queen, showed a fine appreciation of the emotional demands of her role. J. Leonard Murphy as Gadias, Eleanor Tally as Salome, Carl Kaufman as Pherroras, and H. H. Matt as Sohemus deserve special mention also for their realistic and natural portrayal. Costumes, special lighting effects and music helped create the atmosphere of the play. The faculty of the college of pharmacy furnished a picnic for all pharmacy students last night. JUNIOR MEETING There will be a meeting of the junior class of the college of liberal arts in the assembly room of the L. A. building, Friday at 4 o'clock. The class will take action on the proposed regulations for physical training which are before the student body at the present time. THAYER WILL TEACH JOURNALISM IN WEST Appointed Associate Professor of Journalism at State College of Washington Frank Thayer, instructor in charge of the course of journalism in the University for the last two years, has been appointed associate professor of journalism at the State College of Washington. Mr. Thayer will begin his work in Washington in September. Mr. Thayer came here from the University of Kansas where for one year he was instructor in journalism and advisory managing editor of the University Daily Kansan. Since his graduation from Oberlin college in 1912, Mr. Thayer has been a staff member of the Erie, Penna., Dispatch, The Springfield, Mass., Republican, and the Detroit News. In 1916 Wisconsin granted him his master's degree in journalism, the first of its kind granted in this country. During his work in the University he has strengthened the course in journalism by the addition of both the United and Associated Press services for the practice of the students in editing. He has also been active in the American Association of the Teachers of Journalism and Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity. SHOPS OPEN ALL SUMMER Engineers Will Pursue Courses During Fourth Quarter In the past very little has been done in the way of summer courses in engineering, but the interruption in the present school year has created a demand for a number of these. A considerable number of men who are absent from school during the first quarter desire to make it up during the summer months. Courses will be offered in descriptive geometry, drawing, and mechanical engineering; instruction to be in charge of Professor Higbee assisted by Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Shone. Teachers of manual arts who wish to prepare themselves to teach mechanical drawing in high schools may complete this course in six weeks. In the past several women have taken the course in drawing because of an interest in landscape architecture. One of them is a member of this year's senior L. A. class. More work will be done in the shops than is usual for the summer and the foundry will remain open all during the quarter. BAND GIVES CONCERT The University band gave a popular concert on the campus last night. The program consisted of light numbers and included the familiar "Zampa Overture", which was well received. The state board of pharmacy will hold an examination at the college of pharmacy for members of the senior class and others on June 12 and 13.
