AJiTEM ISIA DEBATE WITH each year that is added to the history of the University a greater and stronger interest is being manifested in the art of debate. There is now a realization among the students that oratory is one of the prime factors for the culmination of a suc- cessful business career, whether their profession be that of a lawyer, doc- tor, engineer or business man. Furthermore, that their ability to meet the public is brought about by their means of being able to stand before an audience and expressing what they have to say in a clear, concise, logical and coherent manner. At various periods in the growth of the University organizations and clubs have been formed for the purpose of furthering oratory. These societies have prospered famously for a short time and the interest would wane and then they would die out. With organization of the Debating Club, which was reorganized under the name of Clionia, a new morale was put into the art of debate and oratory and with each successive year of its history a stronger manifestation of this spirit has been realized. This factor of class activities has become so well established that the University has appropriated a certain sum of money, to be set aside each year for defraying expenses of debaters to other colleges, in order that they may represent this University in inter-collegiate debate. In ail debates, both inter-class and inter-collegiate, it is our aim to choose subjects which are vital to the day. One of the subjects which we discussed in inter-ollegiate debate and which was contested on the plat- form of the Brigham Young University auditorium, of Provo, Utah, was : Resolved, that the Right of Workers to Bargain Collectively Through Their Chosen Representatives Should be Recognized by Their Employers. The speakers from this University were Mr. Paul Hornaday, first speaker, and Mr. John Belford, second speaker. The second inter-collegiate debate was held upon our own grounds with the College of Pacific and the subject was, Resolved, that the United States Should Establish a Protectorate over Mexico. The negative side of this question was upheld by our team consisting of Mr. John Belford and Mr. Charles Miller. The subject for our inter-class debate was : Resolved, that Shantung Should Have Been Returned to China during the Recent Peace Confer- isCX JmT m 173

T T«-T7 X T T €I T A Th : A PAIR OF SIXES THE Clionia Society chose for its dramatic presentation this year the well known comedy, A Pair of Sixes. The plot is a story of two partners in a drug manufacturing business who, since they are unable to get along together, decide to settle their disputes by a game of poker. The loser of the game is to be the servant in the house of the other for an entire year, while the winner operates the business. The result brings about many interesting complications, mingled with a snappy love story. Under the expert direction of Mr. Turner, the play has been staged three times with great success, once in Carson, once in Reno, and once in Fallon. The cast was singularly adapted to the play, each character slipping into his or her part as though it had been created for them alone. THE CAST Mr. T. Boggs Johns Philip Frank George B.
