C. colleges and universities are neglecting one ol the most im portant and beneficial soieties that have ever existed in our high er ii stitutioi - of learning as an outside a tiv il\ that i- the de bating soeietv. Inter-collegiate debating has taken a ha. k seat since the sweep i g appearance ol athletic- in our colleges, lime was when il was i 11-idered a great honor to make the college debating leam. and the ollege il bator was some w hat idoliz: d. but today, it seems that all eve- are turned toward atlile ti s. and as a result athletics have Icen over 1 rga 1 zed at the expense of the different literary ai tiv ilies. w hi h are conceded to be more essential to the lite ol every 1 ol lege and university than are athle tics. Surelv athletics have their place, 1 \ ital pla e. But there is no n a-o 1 win we should let them in terfere with the effectiveness of our literary work. It i- evident that debating and public -peaking must lie organized in each i idividual college. \t the beginning of the college vear each class should se lect a debating team to debate the other classes within the first two mouths of school. Bv this method greater competition would result for a place 011 the college team, which should also be selected earlv in the year. The colleges in the state ol N. (].. will sooner or later find it necessary to organize as a foren sic association because debating and public speaking will not come to the front again until they do. Flic association should appoint a committee to decide on the query, rules for debate, et All the col leges and universities in the state which wished to do so would de bate this question to determine the debating championship. A method j similar to the "triangular system" las used bv the high schools, or THE GUILFORDIAN sonic different scheme might lie used for elimination. Such ail association would not onl\ save time and hundreds of unnei essun letters to determine 'the query, time, place, rules, etc.. iluit il would create a -latewide in llerest in deliatinsi and pnl>lii j-peaking.

REPEAL OF JAP EXCLUSION ACT QUESTION BEFORE THE OPEN FORUM AT GUILFORO lln subject fin the open forum di- j u-sion la-t \\ ednesdav evening was: "Should the Japaiese Exclusion \ct fce le, e led?" Ilii- discussion wa- doubtless the n.o-i interesting -ince the beginning of thi' college foniin. Worth Mackie. the first speaker, gave a brief history of the -it not ion in California before the Ex clusion Art was passed, lb* also men tioned lie -ii called "(lentlemen.- \greeiiienl" and ii- effect. Both sides ol the question were well represented by a number of students who took part in the di-ru ion. In lhe debate il was -hown ih I the Xnßican people think that they are better than the Japanese. The -lale ment in de bv a prominent Japarie-i writer that the Japanese themselves bi lieve tli. I the Americans are a sup erior people. According lo -ome of the -peakers. thi- exclusion act will never cause a war between the two nations hut the fact that Vmerica has turned lu r hack to Japan, who has never brok ii the "(ii ntb uion's Agreemnct'. i -urely not an act toward pe. ee. The land in Japan i- not adequate to sup port the increasing population. This awakened -ituation i- one great cause for migration. The negative side of the discus-ion stressed the fact that llie people in the south and north do not realize the -eriou.-ness ol the situation a- do the pi op|e ol the Paciln I oast -tales, all the senators of which voted for the act. I'lie greatest problem iu California i- I lie fact that the "J. Ps". rather than associate with the Americans, form a -mall nation or colony of their own. I'liey are a home loving people. Since a homogenious population i- no - e-sary to have a smooth riming govern ment the Japanese imigr. Nts are un desirable, because they are not homo urinous being a block instead, 100. the constitution of the United Stale does not provide for Japanese imi manls to become citizens. The prirciple solution offered to the existing situation was a sugge-lion that there be a law p ssol rstahlishing a committee, consisting of both Japanese and Xinrrirans. to decide who shall ,-i-me lo Vmerica bv piekii only de sirable immigrants.
