WHITEAND GOLD 27 Exchamgzs Building up an exchange list is a slowK proposition but something that every new school journal is eager to accomplish. In response to our first number sent out, we have received several exchanges. Every new one is cordially welcomed and we hope before my months to be able to put some thing besides joshes in this column. The Janus, from Hanford High, formed the foundation for our tipile. The cover design is good, and quite appropriate for a football number. If this issue of the paper is to be judged as at fair sample, the gamma sthnd- ard is undoubtedly lower than it was a: year ago. 'The Radius from Kansas City is without doubt the wittiest paper we have received. The joshes and locals are handled in a masterly fashion. The editor of this department is a humorist. The nLisn: of Magazine? is particularly good. Mills College White and Gold is thorouglily literary. The article on Rossetti is worthy of very special mention. Such a. piece of work shows a broad knowledge of literature in general. The comparative poems could not have been so aptly chosen without much careful thought and study.

26 WHITEAND GOLD The Forum On Friday evening, February 23, a debate took place between two mem- bers of the Normal School Forum and two members of the Four C3 of the Central Christian church. It was held in the Normal School auditorium. The subject was: Resolved that the introduction of machinery into manufac- turing has not increased the happiness of mankind. The speakers for the Forum and affirmative side were: Walter Bigham and Orrin Smith. Those representing the Four Cs and negative side were: Mr. Barr and Mr. McLeea. Although a very friendly spirit was maintained throughout, each side stood by their speakers most 10Iyally. The Four Cs came up in a special car and were met at the station by an enthusiastic crowd of Nonnalites. After each side had given vent to its feelings by a few lusty yells, the Normal stu- dents led the way to the building and gathering around the piano sang school songs by way of welcome. The auditorium was decorated with flags While on the stairs the colors of the two societies were in prominence. The red and green of the Four Cs and the yellow and white of the Normals were blended together in a truly significant way. Prof. Bliss. presided and because of the absence of the presidents, the vice presidents of the two societies occupied seats on the platform. The debate itself was intensely interesting. The speakers on both sides held the attention of the audience from start to finish. The j udges were not unanimous in their decision, but finally made the formal announcement in favor of the negative. The affirmative side was upheld entirely by individual worrk. The question had at no time been discussed in the Forum. This made the entire preparation of the debate fall upon the two speakers, but they proved themselves equal to the occasion. They did their work in a manner that made all true Normal students as well as Fomm members proud of them. N ething need be said of their opponents as the decision of the judges is suf- ficient recommendation for them. This is the first public appearance of the Forum, and although we did not win in the eyes Olf the judges, we are well satisfied with our hrst attempt. At present the officers of the Forum are: Mr. Charles S. Gurwell, presi- dent; Miss Marie L. Stoker, vice president; Miss Marie Austin, secretary. The program committee consists of Miss Emma George, Miss Pauline Black, and Mr. Walter Bligham. A marked improvement has been noticed in t1 e propira 16 for Me regular meetings. Several new features have been added which give variety and add to the interest of the meeting. Much credit is due to thle committee in charge and also to the president back of them. e The stillness of the night was broken only by the sound of the electric car whirling through space. The clanging of the bell, together with the drowsy voice of the conductor as he called off in monotonous tones the names of the streets, broke the silence. Conversation had lulled with the three occupants of the car, Royden, Orrin and Chester. Hhe Conductor continued to call off thie streets: uMaple, Nutmeg, OlivetL-C'hester, like a hash, started and called a halt, and the conductor rang the bell.
