Debating Improves, Employs Freer Style, Popular Issues
Spring is a season of debates. During March teams from high schools and colleges all over the country start to practice, pick up steam, and get under way to a few months of forensic prowess.
Debating used to be like football coaching. If a debate coach won a sufficient number of debates, he had a good chance of keeping his job. Each school placed a great deal of emphasis upon victories.
Generally, a panel of 15 judges was submitted weeks in advance in order that the most impartial three of the list could be amply scrutinized and chosen. Each school which was to participate in the debate select five favored judges, from which would be drawn the officials.
At a result of this practice, craftiness on the part of coaches and underhand tactics came about. Speakers often drilled two or three months on one debate speech. As a result debates were very formal, stilted, interesting to everyone but those participating.
Twelve years ago a team from Oxford came to the United States, touring the country with a series of debates. Throughout the nation they used their distinctive style of debate, which has since been adopted in this country. These Oxford debaters had as their only aim the enjoyment of the audience, caring nothing for winning in itself.
One member of the Oxford team was so unfavorably impressed by the type of debating used in this country that the Nation magazine, entitled, "America
Five new improvements have entered into the art of debate since the Oxford tour. During the last decade there has been a gradual and steady breaking away from the rigid to the free style. The questions discussed have become more live, up-to-date, and the trend has been away from emphasis on decision. Furthermore, interest of those participating has increased tremendously, and most professors have begun to take the debate to the audience instead of requiring the au-

Debates for Blood." It derided the bloodthirsty tactics of debaters in the United States. This bit of comment broke the bonds of many professors of speech who had always supported the free style no decision debate.

A humorous incident occurred during one of the debates on the tour which served to make American debtage the goat of much ridicule. One member of the Oxford team was very late to the debate, scheduled to be held at Carton College in Minnesota. When he finally arrived he spent all of his time on the platform describing how he had traveled for some time on a train bound for a destination where he would doctor informed him that he was heading the opposite direction from Carton College. It took him some time to make the journey because of his previous misinformation.

And so debating goes forward, improving and becoming more popular by the simple plan of making the debate more interesting to the audience. And once more the English had to show us how.
LABOR MARKET DISCUSSED IN GAGLIARDO MONOGRAPH
"The Kansas Labor Market, with Special Reference to Unemployment Compensation", a monograph by Domenico Giugliano, professor of economics, has just been issued as one of the most important Studies series by the University.
The monograph covers the occupational character and trends in Kansas and makes an estimate as to the coverage of an unemployment compensation law, size of establishments, and payroll taxes.
Professor Gianniardo analyzes percentages of skilled and unskilled laborers and suggests that present data are not sufficient to indicate what part of the unemployed might come from unemployment insurance.
He suggests that a general unemployment compensation law will not always be able to provide for the accumulation, in years of prosperity, of funds large enough to carry workers through a prolonged depression. He points out that even in non-depression years, seasonal unemployment will occasion a considerable demand for benefit funds.
The Men's Glee Club of the University returned last Friday from a four-day tour of four Kansas cities and eight concerts were presented.
MEN'S GLEE CLUB RETURNS FROM FOUR-DAY JOURNEY
One concert each was given in Chanute and Kingman, and three in both Hutchinson and Wichita. A performance had been scheduled for Iola but was cancelled because the schools there were closed for scare-fever. The Wichita programs, even East High School, North High School, and Wichita University were attended by more than 6,000 persons.
According to Joseph F. Wilkins, director, the club, the quartet, and the one-not musical comedy previews at the well-received by the audienres.

Minneapolis—(UP)—John Anderson has been a morgue-keeper for nearly 20 years, but his "strongest request" has just been received.

The minister explained that he wanted one or more of the articles to illustrate a sermon he planned on Teh Price of Sin."
Anderson was unable to fill the request.

Janet Gaynor says: "Leading artists of the screen prefer Luckies"
Miss Gaynor verifies the wisdom of this preference, and so do other leading artists of the radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices are their fortunes. That's why so many of them smoke Luckies. You, too, can have the throat protection of Luckies—a light smoke, free of certain harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process "It's Toasted". Luckies are gentle on the throat.
An independent survey was made recently among professional men and women-lawyers, doctors, lecturers,scientists, etc. Of those who said they smoke cigarettes, more than 87% stated they personally prefer a light smoke.
"I live at the beach most of the year and there is hardly a weekend that a number of friends don't drop in. Naturally, I keep several brands of cigarettes on hand for guests, but the Luckies are always the first to disappear. I suppose it's just natural that Luckies would be the favorite brand because most of my friends in pictures have discovered that the long hours of rehearsing and shooting at the studio place a severe tax on the throat. Leading artists of the screen prefer Luckies because they are a light smoke that sympathizes with tender throats."
