Description: 94THE NORMAL ADVANCE3Jtem£ of interestINTER-SOCIETY DEBATE.Somewhere in the background there are six
men pouring over books and magazines preparing
ammunition to be expended on the night of Jan¬
uary the thirty-first, for on that evening we shall
enjoy a rare treat, a debate on a subject of vital
interest to every one of us. The question to be
debated is:Should minimum rates of wages be fixed by
state authority?This subject is being investigated by commis¬
sions of the government
it is being examined by
many of our great economists, historians, and
statisticians. It is being debated all over the
United States. It is one of the great questions
considered by the whole world. Some of the
worlds decisions are favorable
others are ad¬
verse.Do you know what the opinions of the world
are? Do you know on what grounds these opin¬
ions are based? If you do, your interest is al¬
ready so intense that not even Mondays lessons,
no, not even a date will keep you away. You
will do your lessons some other time and bring
your date to Normal Hall at eight oclock on
Saturday evening, January 31, 1914. If you do
not know these things, come. We promise you
will learn as much of the real live world in two
hours as you can learn in your classes in a whole
week. Come, friends, both students and faculty,
and hear what six men can say in two short hours.This debate will be well handled, we know.
Four of the men have twice been on varsity de¬
bating teams. They have helped win debates from
the best men of Illinois and Wisconsin. And the
other two men have had experience ■ in other
schools.For the debate, the affirmative will be supported
by the Daedalian Literary Society, whose team is
composed of the Messrs. W. W. Wright, H. E.Stork, and E. J. Hemmer. The negative of the
question will be maintained by the Ciceronian De¬
bating Society. The team representing this so¬
ciety is W. L. Connor, Oscar F. Koch, and Will¬
iam Grose. Come, fellow-student, and boost your
favorite, be it the Red and White, or be it the
Purple and White. Come, and see the triumph
of your friends.On the fourth Friday in April our varsity teams
will support the affirmative of this proposition
against Illinois, and the negative against Wiscon¬
sin. Last year we won unanimously from both
these schools. This year, with your help, kindly
criticism, and encouragement, we shall again
bring home the championship. Be present on
the last day of this month and see what are our
excellent prospects for two successes in April.Come!Be loyal to yourself !!Be loyal to your friends !!!Be loyal to your school!!!!Be loyal to your country !!!!!Come!!!!!!ANNO UNO EM E NT.
