OREGON INTEREST GROWING
IN DEBATE.
Among the problems made more acute
tlinn formerly because of the diversion
*f student nttention from it during the
period of the war is debate us a Univer
lity activity.
While Oregon wns devoting all time
possible in preparing her men for mili
tary service during the early days after
America's entrance Into (lie war and
later under the S. A. T. C. every rflin
nte wns devoted to military training
ind military courses and to athletics
ralculated to put into the best physical
condition for military service the men
of the University of Oregon. Debate,
or, at least a great share of student nt
tentiou to debate, passed into interest
in military work ami to athletics.
The University of Oregon has been
criticised because of Ibis luck of inter
est in what is termed the greatest intel
lectual student activity of the Uni ver
ity debate. Not everyone can be ne
juaiuted with the complete facts of
rumpus HIV and particularly Is this true
with citizens of the state who live at
pome distance from the seat of their
state University as it is only the new
developments and the more spectacular
activities such as the unusual success
of the University in athletics which
reaches their attention and tends to
build up an impression that this is the
total of Oregon activity.
lhzdek’s and Huntington's football
teams and “Hill" Hayward's great part
in their success in his capacity of train
er and ilia record ns a coach of Ore
gon's great track teams of the past few
years are known throughout America,
perhaps more famous than sport activ
ity of any other University of the Pa
cific Coast because of Oregon’s triumph
in the Hast \s. West football gaun> iu
Pasadena two years ago.
As long as the Oregon spirit lives,
Oregon will maintain his record although
her student body i* smaller than those
of a majority of her competitors.
It is not that more time 1« devoted
to these sports nt Oregon but it is the
spirit in which Oregon men enter iuto
the support of tiie University on the
field and the way they are backed by
Orgon students.
Oregon students hit the hall! Never
theless, during the period of the war
there has been mild criticism because of
the pasing for the time, of de! ate. mak
ing it vital to the University that the
etaudiug »f Or>ugou in this line ho put
back upon the old basis along with the
other college activities.
Oregon Is a state University and a
place of intellectual training. Her rec
ord in debate goes gack well into the
forty-two years of her existance. It is
an old record, and honorable.
Before 9 the war carried attention
away from this activity of Oregon de
bate halls on the campus were crowded.
Oregon mat British Columbia, Wash
ington, California, Idaho and Utah in
inter-collegiate debate as well ns enter
ing teams into the smaller debates with
Universities and colleges within the
borders of Oregon. Oregon was beaten,
only to bring out in the Rtudent body
renewed effort in debate and support
for the representatives of Oregon, and
in all this period Oregon won the ma
jority of her contests — more than held
her own in the Northwest and along the
Pacific Coast.
The forensic council and the Executive
committee of the student body took the
right step yesterday in organizing on a
firm basis the intra-mural debate on a
larger scale than It has ever been
known in any University of the. West. A
general superintendent of the men’s
teams and another for the women’s
have been appointed and a manager
from every group on the. campus is to
be appointed within a few days to take
part in organizing teams for participa
tion in tlie most interesting debate
schedule ever outlined for the “dough
nut debate, league”—-n form of debate
which nt the same time offers a more
universal participation and an economic
feature made important to the student
body this year because of the necessity
for every possible cut in the students'
expense budget.
I Tn addition to the trophy already up
for the men another, the first in the his
tory of the University, will bo put up
for competition among the women. An
other trophy will be the award for the
winning team in a debate before the
student body assembly between the
champion men's and the champion wo
men’s teams.
Student Interest in debate this quar
ter Is going to be big. The Emerald
suggests that all organizations begin to
take an interest now that they make
a showing in Oregon’s greatest year of
student debating.

We hour ii groat deni ahout conserva
tion of national resottroea and the sin
of bring extravagantly prodigal of min
orals, forests and water power. Now
what about the sin of wasting student
power?
Hy making a study of- efficiency some
great business interests net enormous
profits from material formerly thrown
away. They haven’t increased the
supply hut simply made use of every
bit of it.
The demand of the University is for
efficiency. Oregon is not willing to be
represented by a team that is handi
capped from making its best plays. The
members of all athletic teams submit
themselves to very striet training rules,
the purpose of which is to gain self-con
trol in everything. This makes for
their efficiency.
In the husiuess world the employer
is after efficiency ami so he not only
takes iuto account the skitl of his em
ployee but inquires into his personal
habits and finds out how he spends his
leisure time.
S'nce college is the great preparation
foi successful living, the student must
take into account the necessity of effi
ciency in preparation of lesson* and In
accomplishing the ends sought by par
ticipation in the many student aetivl
■s outside the academic cirrieulum.
11 >e of the most serious handicaps to
t i ..ut llviug is undermined health
which leads to dulled intellect and wear

An Oregon student last year wou the
Northwest championship in oratory and
occasioned little interest on the cam
pus considering the importance of the
Oregon triumph. With the growing in
terest on the campus this year, result
ing from the fact that Oregon is getting
hack to her old interests and standards,
it is safe to say this period of lack of
interest is past
