Have\New Organization
Debating among the Big Ten
universities is being conducted
through a new organization pro-
gram this fall. The old Mid-West
and Central debating leagues have
been disorganized and in their
a place a Conference debating league
composed of all the Big Ten uni-
versities except Chicago has been
formed.
According to the regulations of
the new debating league, each uni-
versity will participate in four con-
ference debates each year. Two of
these debates will be held in the
fall and two in the spring of the
year, thus allowing the University
w teams to debate against represen-
tatives of four other universities
during the year. A different sub-
ject is to be used each semester.
Will Alternate Schedule
The second year, a similar sched-
ule is to be followed with the onet
exception that each university will
debate against the four schools ,
that year -which it did not meet
1e previous year. Under this plan,
each member of the league wil de-
bate every other member of the
league once every two years.
Under the agreement reached by1
- the league schools, all students of
each university who have the ne-K
cessary scholastic qualifications aret
eligible for competition. This pro-
visory makes graduate as well as
undergraduate students eligible for1
the teams.1
The University teams were se-
lected from the class in inter-col-
legiate debating which was resum-
ed this semester after a lapse of
a year. Other members of the same
class are continuing to study the
question and will serve as alter-
nates.
Faculty Will Leave

School of Education will attend the
annual meeting -of the North Cen-
tral Association of Secondary
Schools to be held in Chicago on
Saturday, December 6. H. T. Ryan,

ricula. All the committee reports

upon which the University profes-
sors are serving, will. be made in
an endeavor to show how the
various subjects taught in the sec-
ondary schools. can contribute to}

mittee.

the work done by the committee
during the past year. The second
part of the report will contain a

by the government, inspection of
factories engaged in the produc-
tion of airplanes, and rules gov-
erning the government's licensing,

Prominent airplane manufac-
turers have felt that the industry
should impose upon Itself certain
regulations concerning the build-
ing of safe aircraft, and hasf
sought department of commerce

co-operation in this project. Regu-
ment of commerce have been
worked out in co-operation withI
