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.
