Another Tonight

bitious debaters ended their meet
ing in an impromptu argument.
Due to a mistake in scheduling
the meeting for all interested in
debate was announced for Monday
night when Professor Laase has a
class in speaking for businessmen
and many students have fraternity
and sorority meetings. The meet
ing will be held tonight at 7:30 in

Center in Conference.
Debate at Nebraska in this war
year will feature as much or more
competition as in years previous,
but will be centered in conferences
where many teams will meet for
several days of forensic activity
rather than in trips where only
two teams compete.
Women's debate, organized last
year at the university, will con
tinue this year with a varsity
women's team that will compete
with women's teams from other
colleges.
A program of freshmen debate
will be organized after the first
six weeks of school. Freshmen may
attend the meeting tonight if they
desire, Laase said; but a special
meeting will be arranged for them
later.
Tryout dates for the varsity de
bate team have been definitely
scheduled for next Tuesday night,
Oct. 26.
