A Call to Debaters Heretofore State seems to have laid much stress upon technical sub jects and has neglected the possbili ties that lie in the realm of debate. In spite of this she has made a good record for herself along these lines, having won 5 out of 6 debates dur ing the last three years. In view of the fact that this year's freshman class is the best prepared that has ever entered the college, we look to them as well as to the older men to furnish good candidates for the debating teams. Three teams of four men each are to be chosen. Full credit will be given by the de partment of forensics for all of the time devoted to the subject. The trials will be held in the old chapel on Friday evening, Oct. 16. at 7p. m. Each man will have five minutes for his speech and three minutes for rebuttal. The question is, "Resolved, that all corporations doing an interstate business should be compelled to take out a federal charter under such regulations as Congress may by law prescribe, conceded that such legislation would be constitutional."
