takers tL-an men has never prevailed
at the University of Missouri, at
least as far as the makeup of the de-
batting squad goes. But this year Miss
Mary Chorn Of Kansas City has done
something no woman has been record
ed as doing at the University before
she has out-talked enough men to be
made member of the debating squad,
from which the debating team are
chosen to represent the University in
intercollegiate debates.
Moreover, Miss Chorn is one of the
first of her sex at Missouri to he made
a speaker at football mass. meeting.
This honor came to her last fall.
Another Of tine sixteen members of
the debating squad. chosen from thir-
ty-one competitors, is Herbert Blum
er of Webster Groves, Mo-, who has
been elected captain Of the Missouri
football team for 1921.
For the first time since 1914, the
NJ S. U. Debating Society has won a
cup from the Athenaean Society for
placing the larger number of mem
bers upon the debating squad. The
score this year was nine to Ave. Miss
Clorn and another competitor placed
as Independents.
