For the past nine years these contexts have been held at Washington University in St. Louis and it is the only one with a campus on the K. U. campus.
Before the Missouri valley league was established Kansas took part in various state meets. These contests were considered much as football and basketball are now and large crowds of enthusiastic students attended games in their respective states when some undesirable decision was handed down by the judges.
State Meets Held Formerly
There were five judges, usually men of official capacity in state affairs, and were brought to the debates at a considerable expense. The winning of these inter-state contests was considered a great honor.
Prizes to Be Awarened
Other members of the league are:
Nebraska, Iowa State, Colorado, Oklahoma and Washington Universities.
When the Missouri league league was formed Kansas joined and has been active in debate since. The team this year lost only two debates
There will be a first prize of $50 and a second of $25 to the winning debaters. Each man will be allowed approximately twelve minutes for his debate and the judges will be members of the faculty and coaching staff of the contesting universities, each one judging a different school.
Senior Dinner Plans Made
Texas and Washington have shown up the best in the last few years and Texas is confident of repeating her victory of last year.
Important Business Matters to Be Discussed
Plans for the annual senior dinner which will be held at the University Commons on March 23, are almost completed, according to Wiltford Bergard, senior class president. The dinner which will last from 6 to 7 o'clock will be followed by dancing until eight. Bergard is making an effort to have senior students attend this meeting. He especially requested that organized houses and others make an effort to all of their seniors represented.
Several important business matters will be taken up at the dinner. Among others will be that of a class memorial. The senior class of last year established a fund to be used in buying chimes. If each senior class contributes to this fund it will take several years to accumulate enough money to buy the chimes by the class. The question will be taken up as to whether this year's class will add to this fund or establish a memorial of their own.
There will also be a report from the University senate on caps and gowns. The faculty in past years has steadfastly refused to wear cap and gown at commencement and it is honored that officers that they consider their action this year and comply with the request of the class.
the dinner will probably consist of two courses and will cost about 50 or 75 cents.
