INTER-GLASS DEBATE Contest Scheduled for April 25— Capital Punishment is Question Chosen. Final arrangements for the Sopho more-Freshman debate were made Wednesday afternoon, when the rep resentatives of the two classes met with Assistant Professor Robert Pres cott in Villard Hall. The question of capital punishment was chosen, word ed as follows: “Resolved, That life imprisonment with restricted power of pardon is a desirable substitute for capital punishment in Oregon.” The contest is scheduled for Friday evening, April 25, and will be held in Villard Hall. The toss of a coin gave the Sophomores the negative of the question. Each debater will be given twelve minutes for constructive argu ment and five minutes for rebuttal. Following a series of elimination try-outs, each class will choose its representatives independent of the other, three men from each class com pose the final teams. Each class will announce the dates for the try-outs in the near future. Professor Prescott says, that it is probably too late for any prize from the State Bar Association this year, but the members of the winning team will have their names and class num erals engraved on a silver cup pre sented by the class of 1910. This cup is to remain a permanent trophy. The object of these debates is to revive interest in debating in the University and to train future University spout ers. The plan is similar to one in vogue at the Universities of Michigan ami Wisconsin colleges, which win seventy-five per cent of their de bates. The Freshman representatives were Leslie Tooze, Fred Dunbar, and William Holt. The Sophomore com mittee was composed of James Don ald, Clarence Hrotherton, and Maurice Hill. CHAPMAN ASKS FOR FARMERS (Continued from first page.) “Taxation today is eight times what it was ten years ago; and we can not blame the people for com plaining, for it is a burden. Neither can we complain against the exhaus tive methods used by our farmers now. They are the pioneers here, and we respect them. They are entitled to all they have in just the way they want it. What we need is more peo ple on the soil. We must, have every thing that makes for better social in tercourse throughout the state; and (he only method is to increase the producing population, and to appor tion tht- taxes among them. “That is the job of the Develop ment Dengue.

On Friday the Agora Club will be addressed by Mrs. Mable H. Parsons, of the English department. In the treatment of her subject, “Women in Civic Work,” Mrs. Parsons will em phasize the following requirements for work along this line: First, the neccessity of a disinterestedness of purpose; secondly, a strict imperson ality of attitude and method; thirdly, the spirit of co-operation rather than of criticism; fourth, a willingness to make use of the machinery of the city government actually at hand, such as charters, ordinances, etc,; and lastly, a willingness to make use of the small opportunities .for improvements lying immediately before the worker’s feet.” To summarize, it “is a willing ness on all occasions to be practical rather than superior.” In the past, Mrs. Parsons has done much work .as a civic reformer and prominent club woman. Mrs. Par sons had the splendid opportunity of studying and investigating the condi tions in the Chicago stock-yard settle ments and the Chicago commons while a guest at the famous Hull House. In Michigan, Mrs. Parsons was interested in the civic interests in the city of Detroit, and was presi dent, of the University Consumer’s League at Ann Arbor. Before com ing to Oregon, Mrs. Parsons was president of the Greater Medford Club, a civic improvement club of about 200 women.
