PREPARING FOR BIG DEBATE
STUDENTS OF WHITMAN WILL
THRESH OUT MUCH DISPUTED
JAPANESE QUESTION.

Unusual interest is being manifested
by the debaters who are to take part
in the Phrenokosmian-At -AtheLaeum de-
bate or: the Japanese question to be
held in the Whitman chapel Thursday
evening. Last year the PhrenOkosmian
society defeated the Athenaeum unan-
imously and for that reason the de-
baters of the latter society are putting
forth every effort to defeat the
Phrenos.
| The Phrenos have slight advantage
in that two of their team are ex-
perienced debaters. However this is
pretty well evened up on the side of
the Athenaeums by the training which
several members of the team have had.
and also by the fact that the Athena
cum has the affirmative sidef of the
question.
Abundant material on the question
has been placed OF. the debate shelf
and it is all being examined daily
by the members of the teams. so that
there is no doubt but that they will be
thoroughly prepared on the question.
On account of the universal interest
which is taken in the japanese there
should be a large audience of students,
and faculty members as We'll as citizens.
This debate is preliminary to the
! big triangular intercollegiate debate to
| be held in February with Pacific ana
/ Willamette universities To the man
who succeeds in obtaining the leader

handsome prize of books. the gift of
