Since the meeting had been crlled by request of the class play committee, It was at once given over to the committee; for a discussion of plans. After much careful investigation as to material to be found in the class and a thorough search for plays that would be appropriate for the occa sion, the committee, assisted by Miss Howell, has chosen the play and is now busily engaged in assigning the parts to various mejnbers of the (lass. The assigning of parts will be put on a competitive basis entirely. All those who wish to take part in the play register as some character in the cast and learn a selection that fairly represents the character in the play. These selections will be rehearsed be fore Miss Howell and the committee, and the one who shows merit andseeins beut adapted to the part will receive the assignment. This plan of choos ing characters nas been tried in the university with success, nnd it Is the one that is followed in the eastern colleges. A large number have al ready registered and it is hoped that more will do so because sharp com petition will give best rcnults. President, Gay A Vice president, E. F. Snavely. Secretary, E. F.

Unions Debate Doane The annual debate between Doane college and the Union Debating club of the university occurred Saturday evening in the ohl chapel. THo ques tion discussed was "Resolved. Th'at the tariff gives the trusts an undue ad vantage." The affirmative was- up hold by J. M. Paul, I. C. Baldwin, and O M. Mellck, of the university, while the negative was supported by Messrs.. Tunia, CharlcHon and Cnrbln, of Doane college. Mr. Hall of Doane presided, and Introduced J. M. Paul, the first speaker on the affirmative. The speaker said that United States' manufacturers sell goods cheaper In foreign countries than at homo and asked the negative 'to tell why this Is. Mr. Tunia, for the negative, reviewed the commercial development of the United Stntes and said that trusts were the natural outgrowth of this develop ment. He said that trusts were formed years beforo any tariff was known. Mr Mellck said that the tariff was Intended to protect home industries. and not to foster great commercial concerns. Ho was of the opinion that the trusts could take tare of them selves The speaker gave statistics showing that before the McKlnlcy tariff bill was passed there were only , fifty triiBts in existence; now there are 856. Mr. Charleson attempted to show that the tariff was not the mother of trusts. He said there was no tariff on oil, and yet one of tho greatest trusts in existence was tho Standard Oil company. Mr. Baldwlnw said we are not argu ing for free trade. We are in favor of tariff, but tariff which a.ts as a pro tection. Mr. Baldwin referred to a statement of the negative that If the tariff was removed capital would leave this country The speaker thought it unlikely that raw steel would be shipped to England to be refined and then shipped ba k again. Mr. Carbln attempted to show that tariff resulted in higher wages. He thought no tnibt wholly American could effect prices. The gentleman cited the congressional record as au thority for most of his argument. Mr. Paul in concluding for the af firmative, said: "Anything under the sun" lould be proved by the congres sional record, and maintained that the negative had attempted to prove things which were not pertinent to the ques tion.
