EUTAXIANS HOLD BIG MEETING IN VILLARD riu* Eutaxian Literary Society held their meeting in Villard Hall last Wed nesday evening. It was a special open meeting and a large crowd attended. I he program opened with a vocal solo by Miss Payton. This was fol lowed hy a debate on the question: Resolved, That former Chief Forrester CitTord Pinehot was justified in his op position to the administration of Secre tary of the Interior Ballinger. The af firmative was upheld by Miss Ethel Clark and Miss lletnenway, but was de feated at the hands of Miss Jean Allison and Miss Maud Beals, who supported the negative. I he feature of the evening was a "take' off" or mock debate on the same question, in which Miss Stowe and Miss Calkins represented the affirma tive, and Miss Lila Clark and Miss Alice Larson, the negative. This latter debate was extremely interesting. The program closed with a rectitation by Miss Fay Clark, after which the soci ety adjourned, and the rest of the even ing was given up to social entertain ment and refreshments. Library Introduces Card System Every book hereafter borrowed from the library will be recorded on a sep arate card instead of the old system of making a note of all on the same sheet of paper. Librarian Douglas hopes in this way to facilitate the work of himself and his assistants and to secure a more systematic and reliable account of books borrowed. Each book will contain a card with its name and number and when taken our the name of the borrower will be written on the card which will be put on file until the book is returned. They may be kept out for two weeks and then re newed if not called for. OREGON WINS TWO OUT OF THREE FROM UTAH (Continued from first page.) H. B. Anderson, Leader of Utah Team We have been treated so well that I can hardly realize that we have been defeated. I hope, how ever, that Utah has the same team next year and that they meet the same team from Oregon. number of unfortunate circumstances, for which, however, they blame only themselves. In the first place, they prepared two debates requiring differ ent conditions within three weeks time. A week ago they were defeated by Brigham Young College using three men and then had to reconstruct their argument for a two man team on the way to Eugene. In the second place, an oversight on the part of their man ager caused them to prepare twenty minute speeches, whereas the contract plainly states that fifteen shall be the maximum. This fact, they were not aware of until the time came to go on the platform, and they had to recon struct their case accordingly. The Debate Carlton E. Spencer opened the de bate for Oregon, and in a clear, well delivered speech, presented the plan of incorporation advocated by the affr mative and showed that it was the only logical and effective remedy for exist ing corporation evils. Mr. Spencer is a superior freshman, but he speaks too fast for his complex style of writing. L. H. Hamren followed for the nega President Crooks I like to see a college that will support both athletic and intellec tual contests. This is usually not the case, but Oregon is an excep tion. I believe that there was a larger crowd to the debate than has ever before attended a debate in the state of Oregon. live and, after defining the word “bus iness” maintained that the affirmative were dealing only with corporations that carried on commerce between the states. He maintained that the burden of proof lay with the affirmative and that they must show evils inherent in “all" corporations doing interstate bus iness, amounting, he said, to at least liiree hundred thousand. His construc tive argument consisted in showing that the present system was potentially ef fective and could be developed so as to cure the present evils. 1 he main trouble, he said, was that the power of the national government was not used. Collier Applauded Percy M. Collier then took up the af firmative case and showed that the evils complained of were inherent in “all cor porations" under the present system and that federal incorporation would be a rtise extension of federal activity. His delivery was easy and forceful and he received more applause from the audi ence than any other speaker of the evening. H. B. Anderson finished the construc tive argument for the negative by re affirming the meaning of the word “all" .and “business' as stated by his colleague and contending that the evils attend ant on federal incorporation would off set the advantages to he gained.by it. Mr. Anderson is a convincing talker, hut his lack of preparation made his de livery so hesitating as to spoil much of the effect he would have had other A. R. Roberts, Utah Coach W e were beaten fairly, and can only plead lack of preparation for our failure. I only wish now to speak of te work of the Oregon manager. Throughout all our ne gotiations e never failed us on a single detail. This was the best managed debate I have ever seen. a ise. I he same disadvantage worked against his colleague. Oregon Supporters Delighted \\ hen the decision was rendered, the audience jumped to their feet and gave cheer after cheer for the victorious team. 1 he enthusiasm that took place Aithin the next few minutes rivals that shown at athletic contests. The Oregon students finally rushed up onto the platform and carried the two he roes out on their shoulders. Hon. L. 1. Harris was chairman of the evening and A. C. Schmitt, of Al bany, Professor R. D. Hetzel, of O. A. T.. and President H. M. Crooks, of Al bany College acted as judges. Before the debate the Glee Club sang several songs which were appreciated by the audience.
