The seniors determined to secure this at the beginning of the school year, but as the Juniors are the larger class, they were at this time unsuccessful and a member of the Junior class was elected to manage the debating. But the seniors would not abide by this1 decision and so hatched a scheme whereby the debating coun cil of the entire Willamette student body would manage all of the debat ing of the school, and then proceded to elect their members to this coun cil. They were successful in secur ing a majority of that board and now it Is up to the Juniors to allow their future debates to be managed by them. The Juniors were not asleep all this time however, and they now have it In their power to keep the seniors entirely out of the debate as a law class, but in so doing they also keep themselves out as well. So it is supposed that the Juniors will surrender this time to their more experienced brothers and look for another opportunity to get "square" eve'n if they have to wait until they are seniors' and take it out on some succeeding junior class. o MUST ANSWER THE CHARGE OF MURDER f UNITED PBESfl LEASED WIRE.1 Sticramento.

Then, In order to extricate himself from a dangerous position, the Italian commander determined on an attack which proved futile.
