The debating council at its last meeting took a step that should have been taken long ago, when it voted to petition the faculty to allow a two hour college credit in public speaking for the work on an intercollegiate debate. The members of team do full as much work as a student of any two hour course; they get full as much practical benefit. The request seems to be a very reasonable one.
Why would it not be well to recognize the worth of our debates to the University by giving the members of intercollegiate teams the privilege of wearing the University emblem? Why not grant K's of an easily distinguishable style, and place debates on an equal footing with other intercollegiate contests? It would not cheapen the emblem, nor would it detract from the distinction of the athletic K's. It would bring out half a dozen candidates for debates where there is now one.
There are two things in Governor Hoch's message to the State Legislature that are of especial interest to the University—the one Board of Regents for State institutions, and the recommendation for a regular maintenance tax. The latter is the one of most interest just now, and, if adopted, would go a long way toward making the University independent of possible whims of legislators. It goes hard with education when it must be shelved whenever a periodic economy campaign might make it a political necessity. An adequate tax that would grow with the wealth of the state would insure a steadier expansion of the institution.
The season of preparation for the intercollegiate debates is opening, and with the four debates the University will have this year, comes the necessity for more active encouragement of debates and debaters. It requires several men and much consistent work to make so many debates a success. As matters stand, a man who devotes half his days and nights for two or three months to working up a good debate, gets no Uniiversity recognition for it. Members of the glee club and of the orchestra get college credit in musical appreciation; athletes get credit for their work in physical training,-and get in addition the University emblem. The debater who works just as hard in another way, and who represents the institution as truly as any athlete gets nothing. Isn't it worth recognition?
