Representatives of Wake Forest and
Trinity College met here yesterday and
completed arrangements for the joint
debate here Thanksgiving evening be-
tween the two institutions.
All of the details of the debate were
agreed upon. The contest will take
place in the Academy of Music, and the
question that received most considera-
ton yesterday was that of limiting the
attendance.
The representatives of both institu-
tions agreed that the best way to pre-
vent the crush that has attended all pre-
vious debates was to make a minimum
charge for tickets. A proposition was
submitted tc President Iosephus DAN
iels. of the Chamber of Commerce. linn
ting admission tol the debate by ticket.
1t was suggested that both Trinity and
Wake Forest BE- allowed 400 tickets each
and that the Chamber of Commerce dis
pose of 400 tickets at twenty five cents
each, the proceeds from the sale of
which be devoted to some worthy OBJ
ject President Daniels said he would
name a committee from the Chamber
of Commerce TO take up the question
with the colleges.
1t was suggested that the proceeds de-
rived from the sac of tickets go to the
Orphanage and there was. also a suggcs-
tion that the sum be donated to the
monument to Sir Walter Raleigh.
While the Academy is unequal for the
needs of this debate, Trinity and Wake
Forest, it is the most desirable auditor

would be equal to the occasion and
whether admission be with or without
admission hundreds will be turned
away.

bate here. They are J. C. Little. w. A.
