debating team argued and persuaded
its way to a unanimous decision over
Mississippi College's negative team
last Friday night in the college audi¬
torium. At the same time and on
the same question, Howard’s negative
team lost a decision to tire affirma¬
tive of Union University in the let¬
ter's territory, , and furthermore, at
fhe same time and on the same ques¬
tion, Union’s negative team met Mis¬
sissippi's affirmative team in the lat¬
ter’s backyard — the result of which
we have not been able to ascertain.
The fact is, there came to pass a tri¬
angular debate between Howard, Un¬
ion and Mississippi N College last Fri¬
day night on tfce question. Resolved:
That the Japanese Exclusion Clause
of the Immigration Bill of 1924 Should
Be Repealed.
Howard split even; Mississippi
either split or lost botji decisions;
and Union either split or won both
decisions in the triangular debate — de¬
pending upon her outcome with Mis¬
sissippi. Both affirmative and nega¬
tive teams of one school must have
won In order to haye taken the de¬
bate.
, Howard’s affirmative team was
composed of Leo Hearn and E. ,E.
leaver. Her negative, who went to
Union, was Awbrey Hearn and Albert
Beasley.
The argument between Howard and
Mississippi College was opened
Frances McNeil; Miss Mabel Wil¬
loughby -tapped Miss Mary Elizabeth
McPherson.
Initiatioh services and banquet for
these pledges will be held next Mon¬
day night at the home of Miss Ivie
Pearl Ray.

student bedy congratulates these
young ladies on being chosen as the
most outstanding of their class and
looks to them to uphold the high
standards set by the organization.
8:15 by Leo Hearn, first speaker of
the affirmative. Hearn got off to a
smooth start, showing easy poise and
clear elocution; He stated the ques¬
tion, used a brief introduction, and
sdt forth part of the argument— speak¬
ing for about 22 minutes. <
Worley of Mississippi College fol¬
lowed Hearn as of first speaker for
the negative, and proved to be quite
an orator, having an especially good
voice. , ,v ! ■
Following Worley, Professor P.
P. Burns, who was presiding over the
debate, introduced the judges and ex¬
pressed appreciation for their time
and services. The , judges were Dr.
N. A. Barrett, superintendent of the
Baptist Hospital; Prof. Perry, head
of the English department at Bir¬
mingham-Southern College, and Rev.
Foust, pastor of , the East Lake Meth-
at j odist Church.
