The debating team consisting of Roy
Dynes, William stapleton and irwin
Storland were defeated in their debate
at Bookings last Friday against the
South Dakota State college. They up
held the affirmative side of the ques-
ton Of Federal Ownership Of Forest
and Mineral Lands. The opposing de-
baters were r. A. Nord, B. H. Chap
horst and William Sander. The A. c..
debaters were handicapped in the
main argument due to a misunder-
standing between the schools. They
had prepared a ten minutes talk, but
were called upon ia talk twelve min
utes. In the rebuttal they were again
confronted with a similar disadvant-
age. They had intended to talk five
minutes and were allowed only three.
Sanders and Nord were strong in re-
buttal for South Dakota Storland
opened the rebuttaI for the A. c. and
Roy Dynes was the A. c.. last speaker.
In this the debators compared fav-
orably. In augmentation our team
was strong but South Dakota proved
stronger on delivery. Sander was
their strongest DICTATOR, which is prob
ably due to the fact that he is spec
ializing in forestry and had a great
deal better knowledge of the question.
The team speaks very highly of the
treatment they received while in
Bookings. They were met at the de-
pot and shown about the campus in
a carriage. After the debate they were
given a reception and again escorted
to the station by the students.
A campaign has been started at the

that were connected with the common
drinking cup, a motion was made and
accepted by the different classes to do
away with this source of danger If
possible and lend their efforts in be-
half Of the movement.

one of the judges in the state ora
torical contest which will be held at
Carleton college. In this contest, the
judges have Jurisdiction not only over
thought and composition, the literary
side of the art Of oratory, but also over
delivery, the oral side OF the art. They
are privileged to examine the written
orations before hand, but to suspend
Judgment upon them until they are
delivered, when each judge decides in
his own way upon the ranking Of the
orators and their orations. Is not
this a distinct Improvement over the
