0UT-TALKED
THE BOYS


tween Albany and Salem bigb
schools. It will be seen from ,h,.
that the Salem boys hung nm tba,s
stockings and the girls filled them
with great big bucket of white
wash. They should have known no,
ter anyhow-for no one can hone IN
excel the Albany girls:
The debate last night between tho
Salem and Albany high schools wos
probably the most interesting the
city ever had.
Albany won on the masterlv aror
ments of the three girls represen,.
atives, who talk live veterans op
the forum.
Prof. Marlette, the father OF The
interscho 'astic debating league pre.
siding paying Superintendent Sander,
a fihe compliment and explaining the
purpose OF the league.
The arguments were presented AZ
follows;
The question: Resolved that the
act of the last legislature approprlat.
ing $125,OOO for fhe support of the
U. of o.. should become a law.
The AfIirmative-SaIem.
Mr.. st. Pierre. needs the
U. Of o. because It's educational ad.
vantages are insufficient to meet the
demands. Because the university
completes an educational system
Because II flls the demand for a free
institution. Because II Is wise
economic policy OF education which
pays.
Mr.. Zimmerman.-one hundred
and twenty-five thousands dollars Is
not excessive. The Increase has been
gradual and has only paralleled the
increase in membership. displaying a
chart: 1908. $4,000 and 241 mem.
bers; 1905. $7S.75O and $40 mem.
bers; 1907. $125.OOO and 4SO mem.
bers. The university Is In need OF
more than the amount. in fact, $780,
900. Idaho has i.5 mill tax for Ia
university, Washington 4, and Ore
CONS Is only 3 We should not be
the least progressive.
Mr.. Hendrlcks--Tts continuing
policy places II on business basis,
out OF politics, the board being able
to use every cent 10 the best advan-
tage. II should not be segregated
because the regents are the best
Judges of the use OF the fund.
The egatiye-Albany
Miss Martin-The act Is wrong on
principle, and inexpedient because
permanent and made before the pub
lie system has been properly built
up. with varied needs II shoIld not
be permanent Blanket approprla-
tions are wrong. the amount should
have been segregated. There are
too many courses. with one instruc-
tor for every students, most state
universities having one TO every 90
approximately. The money IS wanted
to raise salaries. already high enough
for Oregon. Half the courses are
duplicated at the o. A. c. II makes
a cost OF $500 for every student, the
public schools only SEQ, Il was
passed by foul means. Give It ana
they will be back for a special ap'
preparation. 1t is unconstitutional
the state capital being the proper
location. Some of the money Is
wanted for athletic fields and room
ing houses.
Miss Dow.-The U. OF o. is not
wealth producer. oregon needs more
development along the lines OF agrl'
culture, timber regulation and lhe
public schools. The o. A. c. Is pro-
ducer, in direct touch with the peo'
pie. II is not business TO add sie'-
OOO until 100000 for armories'
$500, 600 for the Oregon City locks
and $l60,0OO for the portage roau
are first attended TO. The increase
is $50 per capita, the public schoois
only 81. Put the money in the pup
lie schools and it would increase 'hs
average term of 6 months 70 .
months, greatly needed, and Wouiu
give $1,000 to every high school IN
the state. a0
Miss Hart.-The U, OF o. mas
too many professors for the student
body. Best schools are private iAs
Harvard and Yale and John hopA'H',
The New England states nave -
