BROOKS PRIZE DEBATE
TO BE HELD JUNE 14
ANNUAL INTER-SOCIETY DEBATE
PROMISES TO BE VERY IN-
TERESTING CONTEST
On Saturday, June 14, at 8:30 o'clock
the San Jacinto Literary Society will
meet the Alamo Literary Society in the
annual debate on the University plat-
form.
The question is: "Resolved, that Immi-
gration to the U. S. Should Be Prohibit-
ed for the Next Four Years with the
Following Exceptions: Persons who have
members of immediate family in America
and skilled laborers."
Representing the San Jacs A. B. Eng-
lish and Robert A. Love promise to ably
defend the negative while Ribert Gibbs
Mood, Jr., and Joe Lee Thompson foi*
the Alamos are ready to contest just as
ably.
With these representatives of each
society we may confidently look forward
to a debate which will not only reflect
glory upon each society but in turn will
reflect glory upon Southwestern.
IS THIS YOUR TRUNK?
About a thousand pieees of personal
baggage go astray each month, accord-
ing to a recent statement by an express
official. Very probably the trunks and
suitcases of college students are among
them, particularly at this season. There-
fore, it is important that you start your
trunk right, safeguarded with the prop-
er kind of address labels and tage.
Most of the trouble is due to the fact
that trunks, unlike the students, can
not speak for themselves, when the ad-
dress label or tag comes off. "Old
marks" from previous trips are confus-
ing to the expresmens and usually send
the baggage some place where it ought
not go.
If you do not want your vacation
ruined, or a romance shattered by a lost
trunk, follow these general rules:
Remove or cancel all addresses of
former trips.
Don't entrust your fineries to a single
tag. The expressman will not accept
your baggage unless you-have a label
on it, in addition to a strong tag.
Be sure it IS a strong tag. One with
a reinforced eyelet, and attached with
a heavy cord or wire, is best.
■ Use good ink, never a lead pencil, in
writing the address, and do.it legibly,
giving all of these details: Name of
shipper; where from; name of con-
signee; local address, street and num-
ber; destination, city; value—state in
full; and date of your' shipment.
As an additional safeguard, place
your name and permanent address on
the inside of your trunk; on the lid, for
instance.
Use these same common sense lurea
when you ship a suitcase, a handbog, or
other baggage, and you wil! see your
best clothes again 1

up. During the S. A. T. C. era the as-
sociation enjoyed all the equipment of
a regular Army Y. M. C. A.—games,
stationery, Victoria, postoffice, parcel
post service, and picture shows. Week-
ly trips were made to the poor farm,
destitute people have been helped, the
Boy Scouts have been encouraged, some
gpod speakers haxe been brought here
from time to time, and various social
gatherings in the form of parties and
programs, have been had. In connec-
tion with the cabinet, our "Y" Sec-
retaries, Messrs. H. K. Taylor and Rob-
ert Wylie, also deserve credit. "*
So again this year the Y. M. C. A. of
Southwestern will haVe her delegates at
this conference. At the present time it
seems that there will be at least six
representatives, and with oven this
number fitted for the work there is no
reason why'the local Y. M. C. A. should
not move along progressive lines in the
year to come as it has in the year that
has just passed.

Places for ninety-six including the
representatives from the faculty, Seniors
Juniors and representatives from the
other classes. On the ice course plate
were small corsages of purple pansies
tied with purple ribbin.
Josephine Davidson in her toast, "The
Senior Class A Plus," proved to us in a
perfectly logical manner how this class of
'19 was the lirst, last and only Senior
class.
Paul Hakcr read the Senior legacy to
the Juniors. He willed them among
other things Prof. Turner Van Hoose,
Prof, of Broomology and the other mem-
bers of the faculty, also the roost in

subject "What is Is."

ful sacrifice to temporary games, a sys-
tem of athletics for everybody.
As the first speaker on the negative,
Manley Pearcy, in a very eloquent anil
spirited delivery, began the destruction
of Mr. Gibbs'' argument. Mr. Pearcy
advocated that intercollegiate athletics
be remedied, not abolished, but main-
tained for physical training, loyalty to
college, enthusiasm and friendly rival-
rv.
Hazel Oatman began her argument
with the decisive statement: "College
athletics are not the best representa-
tion of college spirit." Tn a brief,
well-rounded argument, Miss Oatman
upheld her views, presenting in pleasant
yet clear cut satire the present status
of intercollegiate athletics and advo-
cating a better spirit for keener appre-
ciation of life.
Francis Cocke replied that youth is
full of sport and manhood must be de-
veloped. With perfect ease ahd pleas-
ing manner Miss Cocke argued for more
athletics for a larger preparation.
in their rebuttals Mr. Pearcy and
Mr. Gibbs, with keen enjoyment, of the
argument, brought to an end the dis-
cussion. The intense interest of the
audience Was manifested by the tension
preceding the decision of the judges,
which was given for the negative. The
judges were M. F. Smith, member of
the Athletic Council; County Judge F.
D. Love an(J W. Dwight, Wentz, head
of the Department of Public Speaking.

last Friday by a score of eight to four.
Campbell was wild in the first in-
ning and two K. A. men' crossed the
pan. After that he tightened up and
with the exception of the ninth inning
was in no serious trouble.
In the tjyrd frame with three men
on Robertson misjudged a fly and three
l'i K. A. men came home.
In the ninth the K. A's. staged a rally
and although they brought two runs
across they could not overtake the lead
acquired by the Pi K. A's.

PHI DELTA THETAS 22; KAPl'A
S1CMAS 5.
The Phi Delta Thetas defeated the
Kappa Nigmas Saturday on Snyder Field
by a score of 22 to 5.
The Kappa tvgtnas started off with a
lot of pep and managed to score five
runs assisted by Bell's wildness and gen-
eral had fielding on the part of the Pris.
The Phis came back strong in their
part of the act and scored four runs.
After the first inning the Sigs were
unable to do anything with Bell and his
crew. On the other hand the Phis hit
Robertson with ease and forced him to
retire in favor of Simmons in the seven-
th inning. However, the change did
not stop the slaughter.
The game was featured by the heavy
hitting of the Phis and the various ac-
robatic stunts of home plate. One stunt
by Sneed and Hawk deserves particular
mention.
Batteries for Phi Delta Thetas, l^sll

The Sunday school enjoyed an unus-
ual program last Sunday moruing when
Lieut. Marvin Marsh, a former student,
who has seeu service with the Rainbow

periences at the front. In his answers
to the questions, he developed many in-
teresting facts relating to the fighting
which he had done and which he had
seen. He also told many things about
the French people, their customs, their
manner of living, and his idea of their
future.

Soft sky fleeced wool of daint'st down,
Wind carded of the sky,
You wind earth's stairway free of sound
Sildnt as webs that fly:
Silently fall, silently fly,
Nestle down and quietly die.
Wait a day 'til evening song
And evening prayers are done
And I will go along. •
M<£n's Stay on earth is short like yours,
We do not tarry long,
In clouds of trailing glory come,
Pass out like distant song:
Tread out a,waj—be right'or wrong,
Alike the^weakling and the strong.
Wait a day 'til evening song
And evening prayers are done
And I will go along.
