THE ARGUS ILLINOIS WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY VOLUME XXXVI FORENSIC OUTLOOK IS BRIGHTEST IN [lVE YEARS, SAYS PRESIDENT Program Includes Trip to the Pi Kappa Delta Convention At Wichita, Kan. TO DEBATE FLORIDA The Forensic outlook is the bright-est in five years, according to Roy F. Scott, who is the president of the For-ensic Club and of the Pi Kappa Delta, and captain of the debate team. Scott is quite enthusiastic this year -that is, more so than ever. He was more than willing to give the vwriter a forecast of vhat is coming this year. Scott says that in the last two years we have had a man at the head of the department who has had ability and personality enough to get people in-terested in forensics, and interested in his program. This man also has the ability to give the students the neces-sary training to make Wesleyan out-standing in forensics. He thinks that, to one who is inter-ested in forensics, and gives it first place in his loyalty, it seems that Wes-leyan needs that which forensics can give it as much as, or more than any other activity. According to Scott, one of the things that forensics does, is to teach people to think, and dis-cuss intelligently the problems of the day. Scott says that the present outlook is very favorable. "We have left over from last year," says Scott, "our ora-tor, Virgil Martin, who missed first place in the WXisconsin-Illinois Pi Kappa Delta convention by only one per-cent. He is also our extempor-aneous speaker. Five of our best men in debate are back working for the squad, besides enough new material to prevent any of the former debaters to being sure of a place on the squad. "We have a very interesting pro-gram this year, including a trip to the Pi Kappa Delta convention at XVitch-ita, Kansas. This trip will include a schedule of debates throughout the entire trip. One of the interesting features of the home program will be a debate with Florida. Scott says that one has every rea-son to lhe optimistic alsotit thse outlook of the year.

ON WEDNESDAY Three-game Series of Cubs and Athletics Won by the Steady A.'s COMPOSE CLASS SONG Sixty seniors joined in the annual Piker's Day celebration held at Camp Lantz on \Vednesday, October 12. A large van and a number of cars filled with seniors left Wesleyan at 7:45 for the camp which is about twenty-three miles northwest of Bloomington. President Ahlenius dispatched a tele-gram ,to Dean Wallis explaining the sit-uation and notifying the juniors that they vere to be given a trial testing if they could fill the place of the seniors in the University. If so the seniors would not return. The morning program was featured by a three-game series between the Cubs and Athletics. The Cubs took the first game 9 to 7, following a seventh inning rally that netted three runs. The Ath-letics infuriated by the last inning de-feat, came back strong in the first in-ning of the second game scoring 15 runs. The game ended 37 to 7. Repeating their first inning performance of the second game the A's again scored 15 runs in the first frames, and seventeen more in the second. This margin was more than the Cubs could overcome and the last ended 41 to 18. Fisher Stars Stanley Fisher, pitcher, starred for the Athletics. He allowed few hits and pitched the entire series. Blakely's home runs and Hahn's fielding were the bright spots of the Athletics attack. The Cubs had to- use their whole staff. of pitchers but none of them proved ef-fective. Smith's two-bagger in the first game brought in the winning run, and Ahlenius' errors throughout the series were the high lights of the Cub per-formance. During the series several coeds suc-ceeded in climbing a nearby straw stack. Besides a sun bath they got an idea of the view a fan gets when he buys a bleacher ticket for a World Series game. Dancing, cards, singing, and explora-tion of the countryside were diversions that followsed the game.

Mr. Markland then gave the following statistics : "Twenty-six percent of the 206,155 women in 336 co-educational institutions was employed in 1927-28. In 93 wo-men's colleges attended by 48,501 wo-men, 15 percent was partially self-sup-porting.

In 103 junior colleges at- On October 21, 1929, the world celebrated the golden anniversary of the invention of the incandescent lamp. A tribute, such as the world has never known, was paid to the private citizen who accomplished his set task of making electricity his servant of light. The man, Thomas Alva Edison, was honored for his work. Edison, the wizard of science, has been the leader in the development and application of inventions that have revolutionized civilization in the last century. He has made more than fourteen hundred inventions, yet after eighty-two years, he is still vo-'-g in his laboratories. Edison's life was not a pleasant one. He had to work hard and could not enjoy the opportunities of an edu-cation that might have been his had lie been rich. The inventive genius of Edison, the boy, early showed it-self in his childhood activities. At an early age ie became interested in chemistry and performed many ex-periments. His experiments required money. This required him to work as a news-boy. In this he got valuable training in business management that he found useful later. As he grew his interest turned to telegraphy. Many experiments and a sound knowledge of everything about the job brought Edison to like elec-tricity. This decided his career. Since then many inventions were turned out by the mind and hand of this genius. Notable among his ac-complishments were the phonograph, perfections on the telegraph, tele-phone, typewriter, and tasimeter, the battery, the dynamo, and finally his crowning achievement, the incandes-cent lamp. Later inventions are num-erous, many of them very important. The life of Edison is one of work and thought. Perhaps no other man has sought after or delved into the secrets of nature as Edison has.

Builds Character The church is looking toward camp projects like this to help in building character. The idea was conceived and carried out by people who believe that the church should play with young peo-ple as well as worship with them. Yet throughout the entire program Christian experience entered into all that was done, and an attempt was made to raise the 'unils' minds and hearts to a deeper con-c. ciousness of the beauty and value of life.

Mr. Markland then gave the following statistics : "Twenty-six percent of the 206,155 women in 336 co-educational institutions was employed in 1927-28. In 93 wo-men's colleges attended by 48,501 wo-men, 15 percent was partially self-sup-porting. In 64 professional schools spe-cializing in law, theology, engineering and pharmacy, attended by 1,045 women, 695 or 67 per cent were partially self-supporting. In 103 junior colleges at- On October 21, 1929, the world celebrated the golden anniversary of the invention of the incandescent lamp. A tribute, such as the world has never known, was paid to the private citizen who accomplished his set task of making electricity his servant of light. The man, Thomas Alva Edison, was honored for his work. Edison, the wizard of science, has been the leader in the development and application of inventions that have revolutionized civilization in the last century. He has made more than fourteen hundred inventions, yet after eighty-two years, he is still vo-'-g in his laboratories. Edison's life was not a pleasant one. He had to work hard and could not enjoy the opportunities of an edu-cation that might have been his had lie been rich. The inventive genius of Edison, the boy, early showed it-self in his childhood activities. At an early age ie became interested in chemistry and performed many ex-periments. His experiments required money. This required him to work as a news-boy. In this he got valuable training in business management that he found useful later. As he grew his interest turned to telegraphy. Many experiments and a sound knowledge of everything about the job brought Edison to like elec-tricity. This decided his career. Since then many inventions were turned out by the mind and hand of this genius. Notable among his ac-complishments were the phonograph, perfections on the telegraph, tele-phone, typewriter, and tasimeter, the battery, the dynamo, and finally his crowning achievement, the incandes-cent lamp. Later inventions are num-erous, many of them very important. The life of Edison is one of work and thought. Perhaps no other man has sought after or delved into the secrets of nature as Edison has. He is truly the Wizard of Science, as the world of today knows him. ed nd rv ad ts th 12 ni-al de It. a-ip r-he -2 ct a into toe woods in wagons in true pioneer fashion.

Builds Character The church is looking toward camp projects like this to help in building character. The idea was conceived and carried out by people who believe that the church should play with young peo-ple as well as worship with them. Yet throughout the entire program Christian experience entered into all that was done, and an attempt was made to raise the 'unils' minds and hearts to a deeper con-c. ciousness of the beauty and value of life. |
