MAY STOP DEBATES SUGGEST ARBITRATION

According to decision made yester-
day by the oratorical association of
Earlham college, the college will not
enter the triangular debates with De-
Pauw and Indiana next year unless the
system of Judging is radically chang
ed. Prof. r. P. Trueblood, head of the
department of public speaking, was
appointed to conferk with the author
tiles of the other schools on the mat
ter.
In the recent triangular debates be-
tween the three schools, the Judging
was done on the basis of individual
merit, and no value was put on or
ganization and team work, the speak
ers being graded individually as in an
oratorical contest. 1t is proposed to
change this system by making the
judges decision cover the work of the
teams New officers for the Oratori-
cal association were elected yesterday,
Fred Hollowell being reelected presi-
dent. The other officers are Howard
