HAT dispenser of delectable sweets and portentious volumes brimful with prepared knowledgeethe Reed Co-op.ehas lopped off another lap in its career. It was a momentous lap. Even the opening day gave promise of it, for the new $550 oak hnish cash register played to the tune of $577.50 which was so superior to last year,s opening day that it would take $328.60 to tell the difference. The tran- sition from room 306 in the Arts Building to a conspicuous corner in the south east section of the Commons Union was accom- plished on Campus Day between the hours of 9 and 11:30 a. m. The result of the Change was to completely efface and dispel all the pessimistic prophecies that the Co-op,s days as a purveyor of food were over. Instead of falling 0H, confectionery sales grew to the extent of 40 per cent. The in- creased counter space made possible the now famous 67 varieties. lTDonlt be a Stagnuckfl It was with such phrases that an at- tempt was made to further weight the erudition 0f the Reed type. Despite all efforts, however, Oscar Wilde could not compete w1th Gainsborough hair nets, nor Tolstoi with Palm Olive soap. It was an unusual surplus of funds that made the Co-op manager an investigator of stock and bond values. The result was that the store now owns two one-thousand dollar bonds. The Interest on these, together with that on the eighty-four War Savmgs Stamps, considerably augments the dividends surplus. . Four persons formed the personnel of the stere. Captalned Oby the redoubtable manager, it contained an amb1t1ous representattve 0f the fair sex, a married man, and a woman hater. A face fam1l1ar behind the counter would answer to one of the followmg names: Opal Weimer, Lawrence Collier, Hobart Benson, and Robert Brady. Page Sirty-nine

Page Sixty-eight Varsity Debate EBATE, the one activity in which Reed participated with the leading institutions on the Pacific Coast, was this year taken part in by both the men and the women of the college. In November debates were held between the women of Reed College and the women of the University of California and Mills College. The Reed debaters, Beatrice Olsen and Edith Mozorosky, upheld the aH-irmative in each case of the question, Resolved: that the United States should take the lead in the reduction of armament by suspending all additional naval construction for a period of eight years. The next debates took place in December. Men of the college met the University of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural College on the question, Resolved: that the United States should abolish its present policy of naval expansion. The Reed affirmative team, Gibson Bowles and Jacobs Weinstein, debated the Uni- versity at home, while the negative team, Marion Dickey and David Cohen, traveled to Corvallis to meet 0. A. C. The schedule was completed March tenth, when Reed par- ticipated in an international triangle debate with the University of British Columbia and the University of Montana upon the question: Resolved, that the Allied nations in the Great War should cancel all external war loans. Our affirmative team, Herman Kehrli and Harold Brownson, debated at Reed with Montana. The negative team, Marion Dickey and Gibson Bowles went to Vancouver to meet the Canadians. ' This yearls program for state, interstate, and international debate was the most extensive in the history of Reed College. Although in each case Reed failed by two-to-one decisions to uphold her Victorious record of last year, the season was worth while. The debates were in all cases Vigorous and well handled, and upon live, timely topics. Not only the individual debaters, but the entire student body came into contact with sister in- stitutions, and kept up the valuable relationship resumed in the past two years.
