DEBATING CLUB CHANGES.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

At a meeting of the University Debating Club held last night, the committee appointed to consider plans for reorganization presented a new plan which was adopted by the club, to be amended to the constitution. The provisions practically change the whole internal organization with the aim of securing more undergraduate activity in the club. Briefly stated, the amendments are as follows:

Nos. 1 and 2--Undergraduate members of the second teams while in College shall be members of the club, as well as those who have been on University teams.

3,4,5--Presidents of the three upper class clubs during their college course and the president of the Freshman club only while in office.

6--Men who have been on University teams and are now in professional schools are eligible to the office of president, but to no other office.

The plan further provides that the class clubs and interclass debates be retained; that outside debates of the three upper classes be discontinued; but that the Freshman may have one outside debate as has been the custom. It was also recommended in the last amendment that public debates and lectures be held under the auspices of the club and that the final trials of interclass debates and trials for University teams be held in the Union.
