Six Have Entered Contest on Memorial Building Scheduled for April 20
The speech content on the uses of the Memorial Union to be held Friday, April 20, and the women's day at the university will be on Wednesday, April 25, will close the forensic season for 1927-1928. The season has been a successful one re-recognized by the University oval valley debate championship by Kansas for the second consecutive year. Kansas won twice as many debates out of her entire schedule as did Virginia.
Included in the forensic program were 25 intercollegiate debates over technical issues, using 17 debaters, three women and 14 men. It was the most ambitions program which has ever been conducted in North America. In the course of all the nine types of judging were used: Judging by jury, by the audience, and by three judges.
The power of the press was the subject on which Kansas debated Cambridge University. The freshman team debated on the issue of a statewide ban, where were four debates on the Republican and Democratic parties. One debated on the question, "Should we protect by armed forces a capital investment in foreign countries?"
Several Questions Debated
The question to be debated on April 25 is: "Should married women be engaged full time in occupations outside the home?" The question debated in the Missouri valley debates was concurring with our recent Latin-America policy.
Through the co-operation of the extension division of the University, debates were arranged to be given out of town before formal conferencing. Some of these were before the Topeka high school, the Rotary Club of Atchison, St. Mary's Academy at Lenoxwood High School, and citizens of Martysville. The attendance for the season averaged about three hundred, the attendance at separate debates averaged about eight hundred.
Clubs Hear Debaters
The prospects for next year are promising. The forensic council plans to arrange an extended tour of the East, possibly reaching into Canada and including visits with many of the country's investigators of that part of the country.
The debaters of the past season were Russell Stroble, c131; Raymond Barnes, c131; Glen Vorum, c131; Heyt Burtner, c131; Richard Burrow, c128; Le兰贝尔 Burrow, c128; Paul Porter, c28; David P.
