ALUMNI SECTION No. 12 VoL n ALUMNI EDITORIAL The Alumni Weekly of the Establish University of Minnesota de a Campus voted its issue of DecerS Forum her 13th to a movement to ° revive debate at the Univer sity of Minnesota and place it along aide of football and baseball in the inter est of the students, faculty and towns people. The object of the campaign as announ ced in the special Forensic number of the Alumni weekly was the establish icnt of a public speaking Forum on he campus to call for training of all Indents in public speaking and discus iion. The Alumni weekly reviews the past history of Forensic activity at the University of Minnesota and publishes a >rief statement concerning every man pvho has ever represented the University n inter-collegiate debate. Many of these lebaters have since become prominent n politics and business. The Alumni editor says editorially, "It s significant of those who have respond d, that apparently it matters little into what line the debater has gone after eaving college, he finds the work help ful— not onl; to express his ideas, but tS enable him to see clearly, to weigh evidence and value facts in their pro per proportion. One who has known only the lack of enthusiasm concerning ora ;ory and debate which has characterized :he University community in recent years, lardly can appreciate the enthusiasm concerning the same lines which char icterized the Unive.sity community of early days. Until well along in the *90’s lootball and other athletic news has sub ordinated the news of oratorical contests ind debates. “There are also six literary societies t the University at the present time, pour on the main campus and two on the agricultural campus, which are active in $he movement,” PERSONALS Irwin Brooks, ’14, a member of the Jeta Theta Pi fraternity, is coaching he high school basket ball team at Ath na, Ore.

WOULD BE GOVERNOR BUT HIS AFFECTION BINDS Osan Straub Receives Letters Galore Promising Support for His Guber natorial Campaign. “If anything keeps me from running for governor it is the thought of sever ing my connection with the University— with my boys and girls.” said Dean Straub, today in speaking of his probable candidacy for governor of the state. “This is the strongest pull to keep me from running.” Dean Straub has received a pile of let ters from alumni and friends throughout the state who promise him their sup port should he decide to ‘become a can didate for governor. Many of the old graduates do not wish him to run. Their argument is that: “Anybody can be governor of the state of Oregon but none can take Dean Straub’s place in the University.” W. C. Taylor, ’84, a Baptist minister at Clarksburg, West Virginia, insists that Professor Straub should not lun because he belongs to the University. When the old “grads” get together and talk of the University, they really talk about Dean Straub, writes Mr. Taylor. The old school as they know it can not be the University without him. Almost every one who has heard of the University has heard of him. There is scarcely a town in Oregon that he has not visited, while connected with the University. Last year he spoke at 95 different high schools in the state, in connection with the University exten sion department. This year he has ad dressed thirty high schools already. DR. DALLENBACH’S FAME AS PSYCHOLOGIST SPREADS The work of Dr. Karl M. Dallenbach, instructor in psychology at the Upiver sity of Oregon last year and now in structor "at Ohio State University is re ceiving attention among psychologists. Dr. Dallenbach read a paper on “Mea surement of Attention” before the experi mental section of the American Psycho logical Association at its annual meeting in Chicago, three weeks ago. This paper, based largely upon experimental work which he carried on at the University of Oregon, caused so much discussion that it is to be printed in its entirety in the American Journal of Psychology. One of Dr. Dallenbach’s articles appeared in last October’s issue of the same journal. Another of his articles, giving the re sults of an investigation into spelling de fects will be published this year in Edu cational Psychology. r WOMEN’S NOTES 1 ★.. * Miss Mabel Louise Cummings, head of the Women's physical training depart ment, left for Portland today to visit her sister, Eva Southworth.
