"Resolved: That this house believes that competitions such as are now conducted for managerships and the Crimson are an evil," will be the subject for discussion of tonight's meeting of the Debating Union. The meeting will be held in the Union living room at 7:30 o'clock.

During the past few years, the number of candidates for membership on the CRIMSON Boards and for managerships of the various athletic teams, has appreciably lessened. Whether or not this is caused by the length of the competitions and by their severity, will be disputed tonight.

The men competing for oratorical honors this evening are all well prepared to speak. All have competed in the competitions which they will discuss, and several have participated in more than one.

The supporters of the affirmative will be H. C. Bartlett '28, Managing Editor of the CRIMSON, and R. A. Magowan '27 Senior Editor of the CRIMSON and Manager of the baseball team. Those upholding the negative of the question will be R. K. Lamb '28, an editor of the CRIMSON and a member of the Lampoon Board, and J. C. Furnas '27, Senior Editor of the CRIMSON and a member of the Advocate Board. D. W. Chapman '27 president of the Debating Union, will preside.

At the conclusion of the prepared speeches, the discussion will be open to the audience.
