1FFICESS ELECTED P.uth Graham, President Elect, Speaks to Women on Ideals of Society. The Forum, women’s debating society on the campus, held election of officers at its meeting Wednesday evening at 7 o’clock in Professor R. W. Prescott's room in the basement of Johnson hall, along with a general discugsion of debate matters in preparation of the next round n the doughnut debate league. The officers, who wene all elected by a ananimous vote for the remainder of the college year are: Ruth Graham, presi lent; Helen Flint, vice-presideut: Stella Sullivan, secretary-treasurer; Marjorie Holaday, reporter; and Harriett Garrett, :hairman of the program committee. The president-elect, Ruth Graham, talked to the old and new members on :he ideals of the Forum, and the de*:re of ‘.he women who started the organization .ast year to make it take the place of the Roman forum among the women of the University. In summarizing the history of the or ganization. she told of the primary plan to discuss alternatingly debate at one meeting and current events at the next. This system was adopted from tbit of the Agra, the forensic society at Wellesley, to which Miss Julia Burgess, professor if rhetoric in the University and friend o the Forum, belonged some years ago. Walter L. Myers, a student in the Uni versity, showed the women prs lent just how the debates of the last doughnut series might have been strengthened. In his criticism, he pointed out the value of quoting from authorities familiar to the audience and judges rather than un known characters who have no appeal to the average public. He also cited the dis advantages of choosing a question in which much partisan spirit was involved, end discussed the difficulties incurred by this in the question which the men debat ed with the University of Washington last year.

SIGMA CHI FIVE VICTORS Defeat Kappa Sigs in First Game of Series by Score of 7 to 5. The Sigma Chi's defeated the Kappa Sig’s iu the first basketball game of the championship series by a score of 7 to 5. Until the last part of the last half it looked as though the Kappa Sigs would carry home the score but Merle Blake succeeded in getting two baskets, for Sigma Chi. “Pink” Boylen looked like the shining light for the evening. In the first two seconds of play he tossed the ball in the hoop- Masterson and Brown furnished considerable en tertainment for the crowd. The whole game was a battle between giants. The teams were so evenly matched it was impossible to tell who would win until the final whistle. Coach Haddock of the Sigma Chi five claims the honor of their victory, as it was his talk to the team between halves that brought them back fighting. Merle Blake was high point man with a total of 5 to his credit. “Pink” Boylen was next with 4 points. The second game of ,t|ie series will be played tonight.
