WHY ARE PORTIAS SO RARE?
Women Orators and Debaters a Rare Species Around Mt. Oread
Why University women do not engage in intercollegiate debating so they do in interscholastic is an open question, according to Prof. H. T. Hill, of the department of public speaking.
"With their ability to argue and their present efforts to take the lead with men in world's activities, it would seem that they would take the platform and debate in a firm and confident way, probably due to the feeling that courtesies were shown by a woman debater thereby giving her an advantage over her male opponent. Certainly, with the growth of the suffrage movement, woman will step to the platform and take her place against him, until no doubt, reflect that movement by the appearance of woman debaters."
GEOLOGY MUSEUM HAS
BIG OILLITE COLLECTION
The oolite is one form of Jurassic rock, chiefly limestone in substance. Until recent discoveries were made the oolite was discovered only along the Pacific coast of North America.
Prof. W, H. Tendonhof has just purchased a collection of oolites from J. A. Bennet, formerly with the Kansas geology survey. The oolites were found in excavating in Kansas City. Professor Tendonhof declares it to be one of the finest collections to be found anywhere. The specimens will be placed on exhibition in the geology museum, where they will be classified by some member of his classes.
Sh-h! A Secret!
The Student Council met in secret session this afternoon with the avowed intention of suspending students who led an unauthorized rally October 23, the day before the Aggie game. After an hour's meeting behind closed doors, the Council refused to divulge anything of its proceedings. Three students were called before the Council, but it is not officially announced whether or not they are the accused, or whether or not they were suspended.
The Council, at its meeting last night, voted to suspend for two weeks any students found guilty of disturbing or breaking into classes at the time of the Aggie rally, and deferred definite action until this afternoon, at which time the accused were to appear.

Contributors May Say Where Funds Shall Go
$541.02
Funds collected by the Red Cross committee at the University may be used in any one of the countries affected by the war, according to a telegraph received this afternoon from Miss Mabel Boardman, president of the American Red Cross. The telegram is as follows: "Committee may designate any country for which it desires funds used."
This telegram was in answer to one sent Monday afternoon by the University committee asking if it were possible to designate the country for which the contribution was to be used. Many of the contributions have been accompanied by specifications as to where the fund will be used. The telegram makes it plain that those who wish their aid to be given exclusively to one country can do so by simply stating where they want the funds spent.
Many who have not contributed on account of prejudices against the use of funds for this or that country will have the assurance now that their contributions will be used only where they desire them to be used.

MONEY TALKS AND IT SPEAKS FIRST
Deposit the Coin, Please
The Deserted Village was a howling metropolis in comparison to the telephone booths in Fraser Hall. They, too, used to throb with life and love, but not with death; they surrounded the receivers and hornets fill the transmitters with mud.
With a fiendish desire to boost the high cost of loving, the telephone companies have made the Fraser booths pay stations. It used to cost them money, but the home folly beaten and make a date free for nothing. Now, it costs, costs, costs, no matter what you say.
