Gilkinson Outlines Main Features of English Debating
Believes That Oxford Wor
Debate Over Kansas;
Offers Vote
as Proof
Prof. B. A. Gilkinson, cochale of debate at the University, is greatly in terraced in the influence which seem to be operating upon the American method of conducting debate as a re-education strategy. He batters to our colleges and universities
He is writing the various institutions which have entertained or are about to entertain Oxford debaters. He desires to a cure statements which may be studied and crystalized into something which may be considered more or less representative of the reaction of everyone to the debated Professor Gikinan multitude the proves that he has held here on Oct. 29, between the Oxford and Kansas University debating teams as follows:
"The three main speeches on each side were allotted 15 minutes each. Two rebuttal speeches of five minutes each were made on each side. It was distinctly understood that these time limits were not to be rigidly enforced, and in several cases the men van over the time allotted as much as five minutes. The speeches on each side were the audience that I am certain that the audience would have folloe cheated had the limits been strictly enforced.
Limits Not Enforced
"The Oxonians were easy, informal, frequently witty, sometimes ironic, inclined to a philosophical other than severely logical attack, and militar with classical, Biblical, and material material applicable to their subject.
Large Crowd Attends
- a crowd of some two,some nine humped dredge men unimpressed number for a debate in this reality. The debate programs were
printed as to permit the indication of the individual bearer's convictions on the subject both before and after the debate in any one of four different ways. Only 780 ballot were handed in, many apparently not caring to vote. Some, no doubt desired to keep their programs as souvenirs."
Total Shows Loss
"The audience vote was as follows, these mildly favorable to prohibition, before the debate, 123, after 78; mildly opposed to prohibition, before, 82, after, 82; strongly favorable to prohibition, before, 517, after, 567; strongly opposed to prohibition, before, 57, after, 116. Vote unchanging for prohibition, before, 50; mildly opposed to prohibition, 36; strongly favorable to prohibition, 445; strongly opposed to prohibition, 42.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS; LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1924
"It will be noted that the total show a loss to the cause of prohibition in terms of people influenced more or less away from its advocacy to the extent of 114 people. Assuming the ballots handed in to be representative, it seems clear $i.e.$ that the Englishman 'won' the debate, if anybody won $i.e.$ even though the great number of the audiences remained in favor of prohibition. Nothing appears more unjustified than the newspaper reports which are appearing following the appearances of the Oxonians in this country asserting that the Oxford team has been defeated.
"If any victories at all are to be claimed, it seems to me it can be done only on a basis of the number whose convictions appear to be changed as a result of the debate, as a result of the expert judgments, have one or two experts judge to determine which has the most effective debating regardless of the merits of the question. The trouble with that is that you are attempting to compare two contracting methods of debating. Our English students have judging and only assent to it out of courtesy," concludes Professor Gilkinson.

Elections in England Divert Interest From Presidential Campaign
Growth of Independent Party and Radicalism Is Felt Worldwide
(United Press)
London, Oct. 23.—Although the sadness and bitterness of the domestic elections has largely discredited British interest in the United States campaign, nevertheless there is sufficient similarity in the issues to intensify that interest as soon as the show-down is settled Oct. 29.
Business interests are waiting the possibility of tariff reductions, although there is no reason to hope that a Democratic or Independent victory would lead to a revision. Doubilities either would pass a tariff bill designed to benefit the farming sector or allow of wheat for the British consumer; little prospect for hope is seen on that score.
Economists contend that unemployment and high taxation are justifying radical outlaws here, but except for a general world-wide political swing to the left, there is little apparent reason for radicalism in the United States at the present time. Economists argue that the highest point of prosperity has been reached, and are desirous of avoiding reaction.
Growth of the Independent movement in the United States has surged close followers of world politics, while cavern readers express astonishment at the "sweep of radicalism in America," which is regarded as the world's most prosperous country.
The Manchester Guardian today declared that Labor successes in 1923 and 1924 has deeply impressed America, especially the continuous record showing that British Labor and Bolshevism are as far apart as the two parties in office. In office has quieted widespread fears concerning their doctrines, therefore stimulating a third-party movement and weakening Coolidge's cause.

The American Order of the Cofi is about twenty years old. It was founded at Northwestern University. It is based, however, upon the diocese of Chicago, where it was established by the Cofi. This was an association of the most eminent lawyers, never exceeding fifty at one time, from whose members exclusively, from medical times with the eighteenth century, were appointed to the courts of law appointed.
Great English Lawyers Members
The English order has not been sanctioned since the reorganization of the British courts in 1873. Among the members of the English Order of the Calf have been many of the best known English historians, including Colle, Littleton, Dugdale, Fortescue, Racon, Blackstone, Blackburn, Glaville, Campbell, and Coloridge.
Great English Lawyers Members
The order takes its name from the ward used to designate the cap which all the members of the Cofiff were originally compelled to wear. This was of white, lawn or wail, forming a close fitting boot. When wigs come into fashion in the English court, the Cofiff was changed to a cleddish dress, with the waist at the top of the wig. The budge of the Order of the Cofiff today is a rectangular gold key, bearing the legend of the order and a raised impression of a barrister at law with left profile showing the wig and the roff.
Newspaper Defends Radio Associated Press Is Attacked by Chicago Tribune
Chicago, Oct. 23—In an editorial entitled "A TIP to Shut Off Radio," the Chicago, Tribune today challenged the right of the Associated Press to prohibit member newspapers from broadcasting news or election bullets to the media against it. The notice served on the Tribune by the Associated Press remains an issue of interest to radio users as well as newspaper managers and readers. The editorial stated:
The notice in effect prohibits the broadcasting of election news by a newspaper using Associated Press press, the editorial said in part.
"News gathered by the Tribune by reason of its membership in the Associated Press is available to the newsroom. We are a well news matter of the association.
"The service is maintained for such advertising value as it may have, and in expectation that the newspaper which gives it,
"Heroitothe the practice has been to flash election returns on newsmen in front of newspaper offices, thereby subjecting the spectators to the vexation that comes with being stated. "Now the people can be served in their own home by radio."
