member of the Hungarian orchestra

he included that original American
dish in his order. The bowl of mill
was placed on his plate, but he evil

that existed between the bowl of

6amma Literary Society.

The Joint debate between represen

ma societies of the College was held in
the room of Alpha Kappa society last
evening Members of Psi Gamma wore
red carnations and the supporters of
Alpha Kappa had bue flowers in their
buttonboles, the different hues of thi
flowers representing the different col
ors of the societies.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr. David Turner, of Psi Gamma, who
introduced Mr.. Thomas Gri1iths as the
opening speaker. Mr.. Griffiths gave an
excellent Introductory address and
made clear to his auditors that the en-
suing battle represented not physical,
but intellectual force and that the con-
tect was perfectly friendly,
The question for discussion was.
Resolved. That the United States
should control the Foreign Relations
with Cuba"
Psi Gamma chose the affirmative and
was represented by T. j. Summers and
l.. e. Brokaw. Alpha Kappa contest
ed for the negative through her repre-
sentatives, Albert Schumacher and Il.
Dana Johncon.

and well by both sets of speakers and
was finally passed to the consideration
of the judges, Hon. w. H. Leeper,
President A. r. Perry and Prof e. e.
Phillips. The Judges stood two for
the affirmative and one for the mega
tive, thus giving Psi Gamma the third
