The Coming Joint Debate.
What promises to be one of the most interesting events of the University year, the contest to determine who shall represent the University of Kansas in the joint debate with Nebraska, and incidentally have a chance to win one of the two cash prizes offered the Kansas contestants, is very near at hand. As it happens that the regular date for the final preliminary contest, the first Friday evening in April, will this year fall in vacation, the committee having the matter in charge has determined to hold the debate one week later, on the evening of April 10. Those who will take part in the debate are as foilows: For the Kent Club, Mr. S. J. Homer and Mr. Geo. Kingsley; for the Adelphic, Mr. Arthur McMurray and Mr. W.E.Griffin; for the University Debating Club, Mr. B. B. McCall and Mr. R. C. Netherton. Chancellor Snow will preside, music will be provided, and the entire University is expected to be present in order that it may determine whether or not it likes debate better than oratory. The candidates have been hard at work for a month or more, and a most spirited and exciting contest may be anticipated.
In order to provide for the traveling expenses of our representatives, it will be necessary to charge a small admission fee. An advance sale of 250 tickets will probably be sufficient to cover all expenses, and the committee will begin the advance sale next week. Single tickets will be 25 cents, five for $1.00. Tickets purchased in advance will entitle the holder to a reserved seat. Should there be any surplus after necessary expenses are paid, it will be added to the students'loan fund.
The committee proposes to canvass the University, hoping to secure the attendance of every member of it from the Chancellor down,
and thereby to make this the University event of the year. All citizens of Lawrence will be invited to attend and an effort made to fill University Hall, with an audience as large and enthusiastic as is ordinarily seen in attendance at public debates in other collegiate institutions. Upon the result of this contest and the one following, that is the joint debate itself, will depend not only the maintenance of our record made against Nebraska, but the decision whether the joint debates shall be continued after this year. If the attendance and support of the University is all that is anticipated, the annual joint debate may be regarded as permanently established. Nebraska has already adopted a permanent constitution.
