THURSDAY, OCT. 17, 1907 EDITORIAL. Just four year ago we entered in- to a debating league composed of Dickinson, Franklin and Marshall, Swarthmore, and State. Since that tinae, notwithstanding the fact that State is not a classical school, we have held our own against the other colleges in the league. This year. as usual, there will be two intercollegiate debates in which State will take part. In order to put a winning team in the field there should be at least a dozen candidates for every position on the team. Besides the first team we expect to have two second teams who will de bate with the first team and with smaller colleges upon the subject de bated by the first team. Our first debate this year is with Dickinson. The subject is: "Re solved, that the initiative and; ref- 'I HE STATE COLLEGIAN erendum systems of enacting legisla tion should be adopted by Pennsyl vania." There is a long list of references on the subject to be found in the Library. The trials will be held on Oct. 26th in the Old Chapel. Candidates should drop their names in the box at 340 Main stating which side of the question they wish to uphold. Remember that to succeed in any line of work it is not sufficient that you understand your subject thor oughly. You must be able to ex press your knowledge in words. Every man who has any talents in this direction owes it to his college to try for the team. The college papers received by the Collegian are filed regularly in Room 273 Main, where all may read them. - -The'-exchanges will be placed there as soon as , possible after they are received, - in order that the news may be fresh and interesting. All college organizations are urged to hand in - the time and place of meetings and thus help us to furnish a complete calendar of local meet ings. The box in the door of Room 130 Main is now available and all are urged to use it freely. , Notice All applications for positions on the editorial staff of the Collegian should be dropped in the Collegian box not later than Saturday of this week. A considerable number of applications have been received from seniors and , sophomores, but the numbers of junior applicants as yet is small. Two men will probably be chosen from this class and all 1909 men are urged •to try for the posi tions. . We wish to call attention to the fact that subscriptions must be paid during the next two weeks to secure the $1 25 rate. After Oct. 31 the price . ill be sl.so,and all are urged to see any member of board and take advantage of the lower rate before , that time. - CALENDAR. SATURDAY, OCT. 19 Football.
