Description:	182THE NORMAL ADVANCEUtterarpORATORICAL LEAGUE.Apollos oracle is silent! but Hope in Pan¬ doras box reigns supreme! Loki is still full of his deceiving pranks, but Baldurs light still shines!On the night of the twenty-fourth of this month our debating teams will close with their enemies, in two deadly fights. They are sharp¬ ening their broadswords and hardening their coats of mail. All will go well with us if Loki does not discover to the blind Hodr the mistletoe bough with which to kill our Baldur.In Normal Hall on that night our affirma¬ tive team, consisting of W. W. Wright, H. E. Stork and E. J. Hemmer, close in deadly con¬ flict with the negative team from Normal Illi¬ nois. When the smoke of battle arises and the victors may be discerned, we fondly expect to see our champions victorious, successful in the battle.On the same night our negative team, con¬ sisting of Oscar Haney, William R. Fitz¬ gerald and William Grose, journey to Oshkosh, within the enemys country. We expect them to return from the conflict, each with an enemys head hanging from his belt, each a favorite of Mars, the war-god, each having won for himself a noble place in the annals of heroes.The subject for debate is, Resolved, That Minimum Rates of Wages Should Be Fixed By State Authority. One of our teams is going to prove that they should. One, that they should not. Both teams have dry powder and expanding shells. Both are handy with the bayonet and both are good fencers. Five of the men have in times past successfully de¬ fended our school. The new man is good and they should bring the Bacon home.Friends and fellow-students, if you wish to see a royal battle, a fight that is a fight if you are patriotic and have school spirit, come toNormal Hall on the evening of April 24th at 8 oclock, and hear our men achieve success. Everybody come there are seats for all!ALETHENAI.On Saturday, April 4, the first regular meet¬ ing of the term was held.
