decide which of seven prominent
people from history and litera-
ture is most worthy to be saved,
will be held by the International

that seven people are traveling in
an air-balloon which begins to
leak, says David Bunker, Grad.,
chairman of the ISA debates.. In
order to save all the travelers from
certain death it is necessary to
throw six out.
Each person will try to convince
the audience that he is the one
who should be saved. An audience
vote at the end of the debate will'
decide the question.
Those taking part are Beverly
Poole, special student, who will
represent. "Old Mother Hubbard;
Frank German, Grad., Helen of
Troy; Vincenzo Peri, Grad., Diony-
sus (Greek god of wine); Robert
McEntire, Grad., Orval Faubus;
Adnan Zein, Grad., Louis Pasteur;
Michael Bentwick, Grad., Moliere;
and Ian Davison, special student,
Henry VIII of England.
The debate is open to the public.

the juniors. However, the sixth
dance was taken over by a group

"Society Hop." But the juniors in
1883 came back to sponsor it once
more as the "Junior Social."
In 1900 the dance had record
attendance. Before that any man
who did not ha've a date from out-
of-town would stay at home.
J-Hop was an annual affair un-
til 1913 when a group composed
"partly of students and partly of
local riff-raff" crashed the dance
causing 425 damage and injuries
to a janitor. Because of this the
