ASHLAND WINS DEBATE TITLE McLoughlin High School Defeated 2 to 1 REFERENDUM QUESTION DeCou Cup is Awarded to Victorious Team Ashland won the state high school debating championship by defeat ting McLoughlin Union high school of Milton-Freewater last night in Villard hall by a two to one deci sion. The two teams met as a re sult of winning the championship in the eastern and western divi sions of the state. The winning debaters were awarded the DeCou cup by Professor E. E. DeCou as a token of the victory. Judges were Robert W. Prescott, Dean E. C. Robbins, and Prof. Hugh E. Rosson. Representatives of the winning team upheld the negative side of the question, Resolved, “That the referendum is a desirable feature of representative govern ment,” were Barnard Joy, and Marion Leach. They were coached by Rosa Dodge Galey. Points Clear Out Roy Herndon and Chester Bab cock coached by B. H. Conkle, up held the affirmative side of the question for Milton-Freewater. Ar thur M. Cannon, president of the Oregon High School Debating league and a residont'of Hood Riv er, presided at last night’s debate. The affirmative based its case on three main points. First, the referendum is demanded by the people. Second, it is truly in ac cordance with democratic govern ment. Third, 1* has been used suc cessfully in practice. The winning Ashland team de nounced the referendum system as a desirable feature of representa tive government on four issues. First: The referendum has not been a success in Oregon. Second: It is not practical in all countries having representative government. Third: It strikes at tho vory root of representative government. Fourth: Legislation should not be in the hands of the people them selves as it necessarily is under the referendum. This year there were 8-1 high schools in the debating league. Tho state is divided into seven dis tricts, four in tho western and three in the eastern part of the state. Pendleton won in 1922, and 1923. Salem won in 1924.

Dean John Bovard, with Miss Ce cil Johnson, director of physical education in the Albany public schools, will have charge of general educational subjects. Miss John son will devote her time to ele mentary gymnastics, swimming, dancing, and sports, while Dean Bovard will have charge of the up per division. Two particular courses will be offered by Dean Bovard, one, “Problems in Physical Educa tion,” will be given for the benefit of physical educators and adminis trators of physical education, and will have as its purpose to show what physical education is trying to accomplish. His other course will be “School Health Problems” and the main ideas stressed in this course will be the organization of pro grams for health in schools and the relation of school health programs to physical education, to general education plans and to community health. These two courses are ex peeted to be especially beneficial to instructors of physical education in rural districts. Virgil Karl, who as coach at Washington high school in Portland proved his ability to turn out good athletes, many of whom later be came Oregon football stars, will have charge of classes in football and track. William Reinhart, who is consid ered one of the ablest young coaches in the Northwest and has been baseball and basketball coach for the past year on the campus, will have charge of basketball and baseball this summer. <2»_.__■_-<> ORE GAN AS AVAILABLE Copies of the 1925 Or eg ana are now available at the Gradu ate Manager’s office in the old J ournalism building.

DeCou, head of the mathematics department, said yesterday. Profes sor Hadamard is to lecture before a meeting of the San Francisco Section of the Mathematical Society to be held here June 19. This will be the first regular meeting of the society to be held in the Pacific Northwest, said Processor DeCou, who points out that it is a great honor to have the meeting placed here without solicitation. It was largely through the work of Stanford and Univer sity of Southern California men that the meeting was given to Oregon, said the professor, characterizing the gathering as “an unusual priv ilege, for it is on rare occasions that such a famous scientist can be brought to the Pacific coast.” The meeting will be held on the campus June 19, and the following day the members of the society will be taken on a scenic trip up the McKenzie river. Many members along the Pacific coast have al ready sent in their acceptances of invitations sent out, said Professor DeCou. PARADE WILL CLOSE WORK OF R. 0.1. C.
