TO DEBATE INCOME TAX.
First Try-out for K. U.-M. U Clash Tuesday Night.
The first try-out for the Kansas-Missouri debate will be held next Tuesday evening in Fraser hall. At a meeting of the debating council Thursday the negative side of the question, "Resolved, That a tax upon incomes is a desirable means of raising revenue within the state," was chosen. A cash prize of $25 will be given to the person winning first place in the final try-out.
The Kansas-Missouri debate this year will be held about May 1, though no definite date has yet been set.
Action was taken on letters received from the Universities of Oklahoma and Colorado. The letters proposed amendments to certain sections of the constitution which govern debating contests between Kansas and these other schools.
At Thursday's meeting, Prof. Frank G. Bates tendered his resignation as corresponding secretary of the council. The election to fill this vacancy will be held at the next meeting.
DEBATING CRITICISED
It Is Intellectual Dishonesty, Says Professor.
"Modern college debating is the most dangerous tendency in the modern university," said Professor George Lefevre of the University of Missouri, Thursday morning.
"The practice of university debating teams advocating first one side and then the other of the questions is nothing but intellectual dishonesty. It causes students to devote their whole faculties and abilities to advocate subjects they do not believe in. It fosters a state of mind that anything can be proved whether right or wrong by the use of eloquence and rhetoric."
Professor Lefevre's remarks were made in the course of an address on "Academic Ideals."
