H.S. Debate Conference This Weekend
The annual Kansas High School Debate Institute and Debaters Assembly will be held Friday and Saturday in Fraser hall. Invitations to attend this conference have been extended to all Kansas high schools interested in speech and debate.
The Debaters Assembly is a new feature of this annual meeting. Its first session will open the conference Friday morning at 8:30.
The session will take the form of a mock legislative meeting in which members may introduce, debate, and vote on bills. Membership in the assembly will be granted to four representatives of each high school participating in the convention. Saturday morning will also be taken over by a meeting of the assembly.
High spot of the conference will come Friday afternoon when Chaplain Alpha P. Kenna, Ft. Leavenworth, and Dr. Hiram Weld of the psychology and philosophy departments, of Baker University, will debate the question, Resolved: That every able-bodied male citizen in the United States should have at least one year of military training before reaching the present draft age. Chaplain Kenna will take an affirmative position, Dr. Weld the negative.
Lee Gemmell of the extension division of the University, who is in charge of the debate institute and assembly, urged University students to attend this discussion. He pointed out that the question to be discussed may have more bearing on the life of the student than he realizes.
After the debate, the question will be open to discussion from the floor. Prof. E. C., Buehler, who has written a handbook on the subject, will lead this discussion.
Following a luncheon given for the debaters Saturday noon, there

Estes Reunion will be held Saturday, 4:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m., at Genevieve Harmon's farm. The group will leave from Henley House at 4:30 for the picnic supper. It will be a meeting of the Rocky Mountain Region of the Student Christian Movement, which includes the Y.W. and the Y.M. in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Utah. This will be the first meeting this year in connection with the Estes emphasis in the Y program on the Hill.
Anyone who has been at Estes is invited. All those wishing to attend should call Marian Hepworth by Friday night. Students from Baker University will be present at the reunion.
will be a debate between a University of Kansas team and one from the University of Oklahoma, John Waggoner, college junior, and Arthur Nelson, college sophomore, will form the Kansas team.
Both night sessions of the conference will be filled with the usual non-decision debate tourney between the high school teams. This year, the University freshman debate squad will also take part, debating some of the high school teams, but each participant will be given a critical judgment of his work. Visiting high school coaches and members of the University debate squad will act as judges.
Eighteen high schools have already signified their intention to come to this year's conference, Gemmell reported. The usual number participating is about thirty, he said.
