Women’s Debate Season Closes With Good Slate Inauguration Tri-State Three Year Contract Outstanding Event Two Out of Three Varsity Contests of Season Won That women’s forensic activities on the Oregon campus for the year 1926-1927, have been unusually suc cessful, is shown in a report pre pared by Frances Cherry, women’s debate manager, in which is given a resume of the year’s work, and which includes suggestions to be considered in working out next year’s forensic schedule. One of the outstanding accom plishments of the year is the estab lishment of a three-year contract providing for an annual triangular debate, the universities of Idaho, Washington and Oregon participat ing. The varsity women this year won decisions in two out of the three contests in which they took part. The first inter-collegiate event was a dual debate with the University of Utah, held March 7. Cecil Mc Kercher and Marion Leach, Oregon co-eds, won an audience decision on the subject, “Resolved, that social sororities and fraternities should be abolished from American college campuses.” Win One, Lose One April 7, Margaret Elackaby and Frances Cherry defeated the Uni versity of Washington at Seattle on the question, “Resolved, that there should be established a department of education with a secretary in the President’s cabinet.” Pauline Winchell and Irene Hartsell up held the affirmative side of the same question in a debate with the University of Idaho, losing the de cision by a two to one vote. An unusually large number ,bf women participated in the try-outs held the first term. Of the twelve upperclass women who entered the preliminary contest eight were chosen to work on the squad and six represented Oregojn in inter collegiate contests. Of the twelve freshman women who tried out, six were chosen to work on the squad, and four took part in forensic contests. Freshmen Non-Decision The freshman debates were non decision. Sylvia Seymour and El eanor Poorman debated Pacific Uni versity April 14 on the question, “Resolved, that women’s place is in the home.” Margaret Edmundson and Flor ence McNerney debated Linfield College April 20, on the question, “Resolved, that democracy has been extended too far in the TJ. S.” According to the report, next year’s debate schedule will very likely include a return debate with the University of Utah. An Ore gon negative team will go to Mos cow, Idaho, to debate the Univer sity of Idaho, and the affirmative team will meet the University of Washington, at Eugene. A manager for freshman women’s debates will probably be appointed. Creole Moon (Continued from page one) The ponies didn’t appear, and the beauties lacked the sparkle to take their places. The setting and the songs were excellent, though. The first scene of the second act showed the Mardi Gras, with a crowd of revelers in the background. Ernest McKinney gave a forceful characterization of a highly ine briated young man. A little more action in the background might have helped the idea of making merry, but Cavita Campbell’s pantomime work and the pouies’ dancing left little room for improvement. Russian Dancers Appear The second scene of the second act was the highlight of the entire production, in the writer’s opinion, although the action of the plot ad vanced but little. A breath-taking series of specialties kept the stage in a kaleodoscopic whirl. An ec centric dance was unique and skill ful. A Russian chorus was joyous, and a Russian specialty was fine. An exhibition of the tango was careful and beautiful. An acrobatic act, wherein the ponies entered the stage by a chute, was good, and a prima donna sang sweetly and well. “Ballroom Steppings;” the contri bution of Swede, Jerry, and Okev; a song by a trio of harmonizers; and a double tango attraction round ed out the scene, and left the audi ence agog with anticipation. The third act found Ed Cheney and Madge Normile doing the heavy work. We’ve seen Cheney dance bet ter. A pickaninny song, blue sing ing, a dash of dialogue, and two pony chorus numbers added gusto. The fourth act found everything coming out happily. It was short j and sweet. “Creole Moon” will show twice to j day—tonight and this afternoon. | Don McCook, manager, reports al most a total sell out for tonight. Continued capacity houses are ex pected, as plenty of people who attended last night are planning on returning twice today.
