1929-1930 Tor
"Trial by Jury in criminal cases
should be abolished." Is the debate
question for 1929-2930 receiving the
most votes from Nebraska high
school member, of the Interstate
Debating league. This question was
one of three submitted to the var
ious state school, by the chairman
of the committee on debate mater
ial, and Interstate cooperation of
the University Extension division
of the United Slates, and secured
t wonty-three votes.
Nebraska has for the past year
been cooperating with ber neigh
boring states In tha choice of a
subject for debate and In other
arrangements. Including the possi
bility of an intenttate tournament.
Therefore, the proposed quntions
were sent to all members of the
league for the present year.
Subject Depends on Vote.
"If any considerable number of
schools vote for one of these ques
tions, It will probably be the one
used the next season, although It
will not necessarily bind ua,"
stated Prof. H. A. White, president
of the Nebraska High School De
bating league, In a bulletin Issued
to the various atate school.. "Un
doubtedly, however, we shall again
use the subject being debated by
otber state., unless some good rea
son, develop which will determine
another course."
The other two question submit
ted were: "The Installment plan of
buying personal property is eco
nomically sound." receiving thir
teen votes; and "The president of
the United States should be elec
,ed for a term of si years."

waa probable that Nebraska would
not be represented in the national
interscholastJc basketball tourna
ment next year even though the
University of Chicago persists Id
staging one. Black favors a na
tional interacholastlc federation,
which would sponsor and conduct
Its own tournament, rather than
letting college officials do it.
Plans for conducting such a tour
nament were discussed at a recent
meeting of state high school ath
letic association executives, who
suggested that a city in tbe middle
west be selected as the place for
holding the tournament. Nebraska

school federation that voted
against the Chicago tourney ana
c..rnrr Ttlack said that he did
not expect the stavte boa'd would
permit the 1830 winuer in me
state tournament to participate It
the Chicago tournament
Tbe Chicago tourney was criti
cised because there were no uni-foi-m
rules, each team being al
lowed to qualify according to tbe
rules of iu own state. Several

Mr. Reed says that this princl

Religious Element Swayed
t Meetings When Professors
Took Turns Leading Talks
i Before Student Body
By Elmont Waits)
"The Incline and Fall of the
Convocarion" mlpht be a good sub
ject for some enterprising wrlier
of the University of Nebraska
Only one all-university convocation
has been held thus far this year,
ihe Stanley Jones meeting. There
have been minor gatherings, of
course, but classes were not dis
missed. Early jii the history of tbe Uni
versity, convocations were held
each day, and were called chapel
ex-erclces. These gatherings were
marked strongly by a religious
element. Some times an instructor
w-as called upon to lead. This was
done quite frequently, and It often
gave use to amusing situations, for
not all the professors were fitted
to lead religious exercises.

where they sat. squirming and
twisting, and striving mightily to
keep their faces straight. For on
that day "Bobby" Owens was to
lead in chapel. Owens, a professor
of the electrical engineering facul
tl, bad never been noted for his
piety, and all tbe students awaited
his "sermon" In high humor, cov
ered with a cloak of mock solem
nity. "Bobby" did his best however,
and read long section, from tbe
prsyer book befora tbe chapel ser
vice, the forerunner of our modern
convocation, ended amid tbe fren
zied approval of the engineers lin
