The Kansas-Nebraska Debate.
Far more interest is being taken in the Kansas-Nebraska Debate this year than ever before. Last year it was difficult to get even a sufficient number of debaters for the preliminary contests. This year all is changed. The list of those intending to try for a place is very large in fact, some twenty-seven in number. The Kent club leads with twelve contestants; the Adelphic society follows with nine; and the K. U. Debating Club enters six.
The first preliminary contest will be held by the Kent Club on January 25, and the following question will be debated: "Resolved, that the maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine as applied to the Venezuelan dispute will justify an Anglo-American war,"
The Adelphics and K. U. Debating club on January 31st will separately debate: "Resolved, That the United States is in greater danger from the higher than from the lower classes."
It will probably take one or two inter-society debates to choose contestants for the final preliminary which will be held in the chapel during April. All the judges have not as yet been chosen for the minor contests.
Oratorical Contest.
There is a great improvement this year in the interest taken in the Kansas University Oratorical Association, and the result is that five able men have entered the contest, and each one will be supported next Friday night by a body of enthusiastic admirers.
The contestants are: R. R. Brewster, A. McMurray, A. J. Bales, P. O. Klassen and G. W. Plummer. The judges on thought and composition are: Dr. Cordley, Dr. J. H. Dougherty, of Kansas City, and Professor H. B. Peairs; and on delivery; State Superintendent Stanley, Mr. B. W. Woodward and Judge J. Q. A. Norton. The sentiment in favor of withdrawing from the State Association seems to have almost entirely died out and probably no attempt in that direction will be made this year.
