It is now certain that Miss Kroemer's illness is due only to a nervous breakdown and she will probably be out of town until she can talk this morning. She is able to walk at the present time. Commenting on the parachysis report, Doctor Hugh Mulligan said the students would have been almost unfounded even if the case had been infantile paralysis. Not only is it unfortunate that the students are afflicted with it, but even in the most severe disease, the disease afflicts only about three people in a room.

Audience Renders Decision Favoring English Debaters
Eight Margin in Balloting
Gives Cambridge Edge
Over Jayhawk
Talkers
The result of the Cambridge-Kanaka debate on the question "Resolved, that the power of the press is inimitable to the press," be dismissed, "gave a slight advantage to the affirmative, according to the votes which were cast by the students," Prof. E. C. Buhler, director of formics, was an experiment on an audience not especially familiar with debate, and whose attendance is open to prejudice.
There were 124 ballots cast with no change of decision indicated. Seventy-nine of that number were more mute than affirmative, a little more than the men. The final result of the debate indicated a light trend toward the affirmative, which favored him, he affirmative and 59 for the negative, while in the more decided votes the affirmative was favored 61 to 51. He was 110-15 in favor of the affirmative.
"This is the first time that we have ever had to turn away people from $y$ debate because of limited space. Two hundred were unable to be accommodated. In addition to the University students and others who were over 200 visiting high school students in the audiences," said Professor Buckler.
Chancellor Lindsey pressed at the debate which opened with the presentation of data by the first speaker of the affirmative, Hugh McInneth Foot of Cambridge. In his opening speech he stressed that the American press and the English press, "The English press," said Mr. Foot, is rather like the Victorian press, but much more overstressed. The press is disclassic in n composition. The American press is more modern, and we, the affirmative, have difficulty finding a com-
David Evans, first speaker of the negative, emphasized the fact that power is a potentiality for good and will alike.
Chumos Tells of Advantages
M. A. B. Kring-Hamilton, in his argument, proposed the idea that the press should affect the good. "The tendency in journalism today seems to be to make journalism less literary and English," he said. "That is a kind of deeof ethics. We of the affirmative have pointed out many fallacies in the press and we want them."
Chums Tells of Advantages
In the argument of George Chums,
second speaker for the negative, a
speaker from England, advantages of
the answer in former years.
"The press is ever watchful," said Chumos, "and is the most effective instrument in bringing about reform; and to curb its evil power its burp. We propose a change in policy, and then the evils will be eliminated."
With the argument of Herbert Lionel Elvin, the third speaker for the affirmative, came the crisis of his own life. He reviewed a debate in the house of commonness when the same question was debated, substituting the "Crown" for "Pearl." His response to this his argument were that, to make a democracy successful there must be an educated electorate; for this, a president has been chosen who has become "a government of the people, by the clever, and the rich." The more powerful papers accuse the president of being social, the most semantical, and the most dishonest. The press is like a distorting mirror. "The Americans," he said, read Journalless, "he said.
Kingsbury Closes Debate
Burton A. Kingbury was the third speaker for the negative statement of his two colleagues. The principal point of his argument was to submit the solution to the question of the British defense of Iran, and to argue that "of the press?" by saying that "If you cannot make a change soundly and safely, it should not be made. Power is an attribute to an individual, and we call it influence. The answer is to free the press."
One five minute rebuttal was allowed each side. Hugh McIntosh, the senior speaker, and David Evans the Kansas team. Following the rebuttal speeches the audience voted for a second time as to their stand on the situation in Iraq. Mr. Evans said that the suit was practically a tie. The Cambridge team left immediately before the debate for Stillwater, Oklahoma, where they will debate with Ollinda A. and M. on the same question.
