Williams, assoc iate. professot of chemistry, is study ing to determine all things necessary to make yeast grow. Assisting him are Richard ltochmn, Eleishmann fel low, and Miss Elizabeth Bradway, graduate students. “We are studying the yeast be cause we hope to find out more about all other organisms, including ourselves,” said Dr. Williams. “You see, all organisms are related. “Many persons do not realize how important yeast is, but just one of the Eleishmann factories uses 100 tons of yeast a day.” 'I he yeast plant is so minute that it can only be seen under a very powerful microscope. In one pound cake of yeast there are one trillion, three hundred and two billion, two hundred million plants. fJhe surface of the plants, ►small as they are, 'would cover an area of 2,000 square feet. 'Placed end to end they would reach (1,000 miles.

Hi Heckling and Memorized Talks Opposed by Coach J.K. Horner The Wittenberg college recipe for debate success, which includes the placing of a dozen men in one room to give their speeches all at once, the heckling of speakers, anl the memorizing of talks, does not meet with the unqualified approval of debate coach J. K. Horner. ‘.‘I doubt that it’s good in debate to put several men in a room and let them all talk at once,” lie said; “for the coach couldn’t very well follow the speech of any one man. “Those distractions which average speakers meet, such as coughing, shuffling of foot, laughing, tapping of pencils, or an outburst of sar casm, may be used in training men for platform poise, but debaters will hardly meet with the situation of having to talk at once against sev eral other men.” Varsity debaters here, ho explained, are made to de liver speeches amidst the moving of chairs, the sudden letting-up of a! window shade, a sarcastic interrup tion from the audience, or laughter —all this to develop poise and to see if they can control their minds and center their attention on their speeches. The purpose is to school them to meet any average situation with, which they might come in contact in an actual contest. “I am not in favor of learning speeches,” lie said, “although it has been done here in the past. I am making an effort this year among the men varsity debaters to make I all talks extemporaneous. They will i plan their speeches, of course, but they will not actually write them I out and learn them.” The average | speech situation out in life, Mr. i Horner said, is not one in which a memorized talk may be delivered. If is extemporaneous, he believes, and in that the object of the de | partment is to give practical train j ing in public speaking, the emphasis I is on the extempore method. The heckling of speakers and the actual talking part of debate is but a feature of coaching, ,Mr. Horner pointed out. An immense amount of reading on the subject is assigned, the determination of the issues, the assembling of facts to prove the case, must all precede the writing of speeches. The Christian Science Monitor says of the Wittenberg de dators that they “marshal their facts, assemble them in logical or der, then submit their speeches to criticism of students and faculty members interested in debating, then learn their speeches.” That, except! the learning of their talks, is a part of all debate coaching. Wittenberg college won the Ohio conference, debate championship for! the third consecutive time this year, discussing the same question to bo! used in the men’s debates here— “Resolved, that the jury system] should be abolished.” The college! debated five times and won decis ions on all encounters. is ;i member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.

K. Horner, head of toe public I speaking department, yesterday. The money for the prizes is the income from the estate of the late Wilson F. Jewett, and is given by Mrs. Jewett to stimulate interest in the public speaking activities of the campus. The all-university extempore eon- j test for women is open to any wo man on the campus whatsoever, Mr. Horner says. A broad, general sub ject will be selected, contestants will read on it, and an hour or so be fore the final* speaking, specific topics will be drawn upon which the contest will be waged. About 175 men in the introduc tory speech classes taught by J. K. Horner and A. Holmes Baldridge, instructor in the department, will be eligible for the ‘‘entemp” contests for men. The same method as that for the women will be used. Prizes are offered for the best orations in each of the pre-legal Eng lish and advanced public speaking) classes. An effort is being made by Air. Horner through the recently-formed public speaking club to raise money ’for a prize to be offered in an all university extempore speaking con test for men. The prize would stimulate a more campus-wide in terest in speaking, Air. Horner thinks.
