A move ment of state-wide significance had its rtse at the State University this week In the form of an organization, of a "North Craolina High School Debating Union." The two debat ing societies of the University evolv ed the plan, and expressed as its purpose the stimulation of greater interest in debating and encourage ment of inter-school debating among, the secondary schools )n the state. Towards the accomplishment of this end more than 375 letters have been sent to the high and graded schools of the state urging their co-operation. The plan provides for a trian guiar debate between schools of the same standing and convenience of location. The two scofleties of the' University wjll suggest the ' query ana provide, rrom tne university J' brary, in par'.''!i.. 2..., material' covering both sides of the question; free of cost- Each school will send' out a team of debate the negative side of the query and keep a team at home to debate the affirmative side. The school winning ' both sides of the debate will be entitled to send both teams to Chapel Hill where a contest win be held to determine the two teams that shall contest in the final debate fori' the state championship. The school winning the debate in the final will be awarded the "Aycock Memorial Cup,"' with the name of school and the members of the team engravd on it. If a school should win the cup for two. successive years It be comes that school's property, The new educational building;, ff, dft of the Peabody fund, Is- nearing completion and will be rendy for occupancy the first of 1913. The ' Peabody fund contributed J40.000 towards its erection. It Is a. ihanflsome structure arm nill ho eredit to the elu-stlcnrl department: of the University as well a" to North Carolina. It will be a pre.it addi tion to the work of the regular summer school. The preliminaries for Carolina's firstjlnter-colloj-ate del-ate for the college year will be hpid October 19. The dbate is with Washington and Lee University, of Lexington, Va., about the middle of December. The contest will be held at Lexjngtcn or Lynchburg, Va. What is considered to be the first definite step towards the re-, storation of athletic relations be-, tween nil the colleges of North caro-. flna was taken in Raliegh recently In the orgalzatio of an lntercolle Riate basketball league. All of the leading colleges of the state formed the league with the agree ment of playing series of two ffampa with each college. This evident sign of restoring athletic peace among the colleges of the state ha been received everywhere with commendation, and as a sign of good omen for all interested. G.B. P. ! Worth vi lie. If.
