Eight Houses Participate in Second Debate of Season

All of the Houses and the dormitories met in a debate over the subject: "Resolved, That This House Approves the Nominating of President Roosevelt for a Third Term," last night in the House Common Rooms.

This was the second of a series of debates scheduled for this semester. In every case the affirmative side of the question won an overwhelming victory.

For these debates the Oregon system, a new idea that has not been tried before, was used, and, "proved itself to be very satisfactory," House debating authorities said last night. The main characteristic of the system is that cross examination is used instead of the usual speech making.

The next debate, scheduled for next Tuesday, will inaugurate the first public discussion of the tenure program of the University. Up till now all discussion and debate on this subject has been carried on by the Faculty or by various protest groups.
