UNDERGRADUATES TO CHOOSE TOPICS FOR DEBATING UNION

Members of the University will be given an opportunity to suggest topics for discussion under the plan just adopted by the Debating Union. A bluebook has been posted in the Union wherein topics of general argumentative interest may be inscribed. It is expected thus to obviate such embarrassing situations as that of the great football debate last fall.
