TRIANGULAR DEBATE REJECTED

East-West Contest Will be Staged in Sanders Theatre on May 21.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

By vote of the University Debating Council the suggestion that the dual inter-coast debate with the University of Washington be transformed into a triangular has been rejected. This decision to keep the debate strictly dual was made partly on the grounds that such a move would detract materially from the east-and-west spirit and partly from the difficulty of giving intensive training to a larger number of men at a time so long after the close of the regular season.

Sanders Theatre has finally been chosen as a place for the staging of this debate on the evening of Friday, May 21. The team representing this University will advocate the maintenance of the right of free speech, according to telegraphic negotiations just completed. To the western university will go the task of upholding the affirmative of the question.
