central rooms on the first floor of
Renfroe. According to their bulletin,
Mr. J. M. Aubrey is president of the
new firm and Mr. J. C. Babcock bolds
the position of secretary and treas¬
urer. The Howard Canteen will sup¬
ply all the various little things for
the delection of the appetite for which
a college boy usually spends his coin.
A runious financial depression has
left the business world of Cuba pros¬

be of service In this perilous time
to the bereaved family.
Although Mr. Suros’ knowledge is
limited, we believe he takes back
to Cuba a fine impression of the

MI8S CLARK READS
BEFORE HOUSEKEEPERS' CLUB.
Last Wednesday Miss Clark read
I.isa Tarleau’s “Blue Roses” at a
meeting of the Housekeepers Club
in the home of Mrs. Prescott, wife
of the college consulting physician.
Miss Clark’s reading was highly com¬
plimented by her audience.
Miss Clark, debating coach, an¬
nounces another Intercollegiate de¬
bate to be held in mid-April with
Union University of Jackson, Tenn.
ri he question will be either the fol¬
lowing or a variation of it: “Re¬
solved, . that the principle of the
open-shop is justifiable.”
This wiU be a double-headed de¬
bate and we choose whether we
shall send a negative or affirmative
team to Union.
SENIOR PLAY SELECTED.
Union University Is
choosing the subject this year.
The first rumblings of this debate
heard on the Howard campus will
be a debate on thie subject before
the Philomathic Literary Society be¬
tween Mr. Bonfield, Mr. Glover, Mr.
Lambert and Mr. Smith. The debat¬
ing class will be set to work upon
(hie and the interest of the students
aroused in general, with the hopes
of winning both sections of thi3
debate.
This play will require a cost of
about eighteen people, half boys and
half girls. It Is a marked contrast
in both type and theme to that pre¬
sented last year. “Prince Chap."
This comedy 1s clever and enter-
ta'ning. With the present interest
and ability of the Seniors and the
able assistance of Miss Clark In di¬
recting, it bids fair to be a very
attractive feature of commencement
week. This play will be given at
the Jefferson Theatre. Earlier In
the year the Senior class voted
unanimously that Miss Clark have
complete control of the selection and
tra'ning of the play this year.
From base to summit four distinct
zones of bird life — tropical, subtropi¬
cal, temperate and alpine— are found

NEGATIVE WINS INTER-TEAM DE¬
BATE.
In a clash between the affirmative
and negative teams of Howard Col¬
lege on the Philippine question in the
auditorium Tuesday eveniug, February
8th, Mr. G. C. O'Kelly and Mr. Earle
Powell, for the negative, succeeded In
obtaining the decision over Mr. J. J.
Bell and Mr. L. V. Wilder, of the af¬
firmative. The judges were Mr. E. E.
Smith, principal of Ensley High; Prof. :
Bohannon and Mr. J. E. Brewton. Mr.
В.
E. Cox, president of the Philo¬
mathic Literary Society, presided.
This was the first real debate How¬
ard studente have had the opportunity
of hearing this year, and was one
which has Justly given them a strong
belief that these two teams will win
both inter-collegiate debates on Feb.
24. As each speaker sat down one
felt that his viewpoint was the only
logical one. None of the speakers
spoke with the aid of a memorized
manuscript, yet their diction was ex¬
ceptionally dear and fluent The first
speaker, Mr. Bell, thoroughly explain¬
ed the question and then launched up¬
on the affirmative line of reasoning.
Mr. Oiteily opened the argument for
the negative and
вроке
very interest¬
ingly for twenty minutes. Mr. Wilder
arose and forcefully presented the af¬
firmative. Mr. Powell closed the argu¬
ment for the negative in a humorous
and convincing manner. The five
minute rejoinder by Mr. Bell was very
clever and concluded the debate.
While the judges were preparing
their dedsion the audience was enter¬
tained with a vocal solo by Mr. Oden,
which was so splendid that the audi¬
ence demanded another.
The andience was not jammed, but
was large enough to inspire each man
to do his beet. The people of East
Lake were evident in every row and
many people from town were on hand.

nounces that the library will hence¬
forth be open from 12:30 to. 2:00
