& its function in

eil the affirma
tive team from
Sunt hern Oregon
normal school at
Ashland in the
debate with the
University of Ore
gon negative team
at 107 Villanl
hail yesterday, af
ternoon, on the
subject, Resolved,
t luff the jury sys
conducted on tin* old rejoinder
system and no decision rendered.
Waste of Time Scored
The affirmative deplored the
immense expense and waste of time
attributed to the jury, and suggest
ed the judge be allowed to take
over the duties of the jury. They
argued that the judge is better able
bv reason of experience, familiarity
with the law, and knowledge of
human nature, to render verdicts
today- The jury, it was said, can
be fooled, but the judge cannot be
fooled on such simple things that
usually befuddle a jury. (Questions
of commerce, li-olitlics, mechanics,
science, and the like are beyond
the jury.
Jury Represents People
“The jury is the product of 70(1
years’ experience, and it attains
its position by selection. It rep
resents the people,” the negative
replied. “Very few cases exist
where technicalities put the facts
clearly out of reach of the jury.
We should keen the jury because
it is efficient. It is nut tlio jury
but the judge who is responsible
for the delays and mistakes of the
jury. The judge is too narrow and
technical to successfully take the
place of the jury.”
The affirmative team from Ash
land was composed of George Lowe
and Desmond Wood, and the Ore
gon affirmative was made up of
Eugene Laird, junior in journalism,
and Ellsworth Plank, senior in eco
nomics. Walter Durgau pressed
as chairman.

My First Job
Professors Relate How
First Money Earned
“I started out as a journalist,
even though 1 am now a professor
of business,” sa.vs Arthur Ktillman,
professor of business administration,
in regard to his first job. ‘‘When
t was 13 years old I worked as a |
printer's devil in tlie town of Uuf- !
falo, Wyoming.
“I inked one of these old-fash-;
ioned Washington hand - presses, j
There was a real knaek in swinging
the press around. The printer \
showed me how to give it the right
twist, and then he delighted in call
ing in some of the strong men
around town and asking them to try
to do the same thing. They couldn’t
Ufhve the press. 1 felt quite a bit
of pride in stepping up and pulling
the press around after they had
failed.
“The newspaper had eight pages.
On Tuesday night we printed the
inside pages and on Thursday night
we printed any other important
news about local happenings. The
paper was a weekly and liud about
1500 subscribers.
"I received a dollar a week for
my work. The first thiny I did
with the money was to buy a pony
for $-0. The first time I tried to
ride it, I was thrown off and kicked.
I have always liked horses, how
ever.” he added.
