It recognizes four degrees of proficiency in the art of public speak- QP9 ing based upon experience and success in intercollegiate contests. It not only provides a chance for experience in debating and public speaking at 'lj its conventions but the conventions themselves provide for the meeting gas and association of men and women over the entire state who are interested if in this sort of activity. It provides a national question upon which all Q3 schools are prepared to debate. It provides a list of accredited judges from V ji which judges can be selected to judge any particular debate. Through its quarterly magazine it provides a chance for a national forum on forensic T matters. ig? For the first time the national Pi Kappa Delta held provincial conven- fax tions this year. These provincial conventions are held every other year so that they will fall on the years between the large, biennial, national con- ventions. In this way the interest and enthusiasm will be kept up in the 52 years which have no general convention. Ours is the Province of the Platte, including Nebraska and Colorado. It met at Hastings this year. iii? e 1. 4 e iii il? if? J? Q 13 ii? fi? ii? 67

logical case delivered with a good deal of polish and won the vote of two of the three local judges. All the above mentioned debates were on the question: Resolved, that the principles of the McNeary-Haugen Bill should be enacted into a federal law. As a post-season feature the College held a special debate with the University of Wyoming. This debate was unique in that the question was not announced until twelve hours before the debate. At that time the de- baters began work and prepared their case. Debate this year was coached by Prof. W. A. Knox. Miss Miller again acted as Business Manager. The negative team included Harold Eisele, Frank Rice, Ervin Williams and Chester Windolph. The affirmative was upheld by Paul Newell, Lloyd Richards, Joseph Alicata and Robert Hamlyn. Grand Island College was represented this year in oratory by Paul B. Newell. His oration was entitled, Our Quest, and was a discussion of the difficulties and rewards of idealism. Mr. Newell worked hard at his selec- tion and the College is grateful to him for his efforts in representing it in the State Oratorical contest. 66
