Feb. 7, in the Adelphi room, 4206 Ali- gell hall, Prof. James M. O'Neill, head! of the speech department, announced yesterday. All men wishing to tryout for the squad must sign up in the speech de- partment office not later than Mon- day, Feb. 6. Sheets for that purpose will be prepared today, Professor O'Neill stated. Each sheet will contain 10 speak- ing places, five affirmative and fivej negative. Thus those men signing up on the first sheet will begin speaking at 3:05 o'clock. There will likewise be a sheet for those desiring to speak between 4 and 5 o'clock and thosej wishing to speak between 5 and 6 o'clock. A fourth sheet will be pre- pared for those who will speak be- ginning at 7:30 o'clock Tuesday night. The tryouts will consist of five min- ute speeches on either side of the question, "Resolved, that the control now exercised by the United States government in Panama, Nicaragua, and Salvador should be condemned." :New System 'Used By the system which is being used this semester, it will be possible for each man to determine his own speak- ing position and consequently it will be to the advantage of each to sign up at as early a dlate as possible. "Of course," Professor O'Neill added, "if there is a break in the list, we will close up and hear the next man on the list." Speeches in any one par- ticular group, however, will not be started before the hour in which they are scheduled, he explained. From the men who try out, a squad of probably 16 will be chosen. This group will gradually be cut down until six men are finally selected for the Mid-West league debates with Illinois and Wisconsin which occur near the middle of March. Study Sun Spots For Effect Upon Radio Conditions Efforts are being made to determine the effect of solar disturbances uponl the electrical conditions o1f the earth's atmosphere in relation to ra- dio receptivity and weather chanzg-} es lby the cooperation o: four 01)-I servatories of the country. IThe observing station, which are Ini t inf in this investigation are the Astronomical Laboratory of Sinth college, Hlarvarid observatory, the Naval observa tory, theo Mount Wilson observatory in California., and the4 Y erkes observatory of the University of Chicago.! IThe phenomena known as sun spots, or violent gaseous convulsions on the surface of the sun, have been proved to affect radio transmission, seasonal changes, and to be a direct cause of the Auirora Borealis, or northern lights. Daily photographs of the sunl's surface are made at each of the var-- ions observatories cooperating, and are then forwarded to Washington with information gathered from the observations. Some of the sun spots represent disturbed areas two or three times the diameter of the earth in extent. The greatest one recorded l was about 100,000 miles in. length. At the Harvard laboratory special equipment has been installed for preparing the sun spot data. After the photograph has been taken, the im'age of the sun is projected by aj special optical lantern onto a white globe, in order that the position of the shots can be accurately determ- DENTON, Texas.-The "average woman" rather than the "most pop- ular" or the "most beautiful" is chos- en by the students at the College of I Industrial Arts.
