Show Debating Council C. L. MENSER R. D. HARRIMAN ELBERT D. THOMAS GUSTAVE LARSEN sity has entered a new interstate triangle, including the Universities of Colorado and Texas. Never before have Utah orators been offered two trips out of the state in one season. But 1918-19 held out to its debaters one trip to Boulder, Colorado, and another to Missoula, Montana, and 1920 promises one to Texas. These splendid opportunities and possibly the victories of 1917-18 over Colorado and Montana served to create a keen interest in the debating of the year. Sixteen capable contestants entered the lists with determination to land a place and from these ten were chosen to work in a squad, and this number was subsequently reduced to six who represented the University in state and interstate debating. These six include C. A. White, Warren Leigh, Samuel Clawson, Miss Edna Calderwood, Wallace F. Bennett and R. V. McCulloch, with Wilford Reichman and Smedley as alternates. The debating officers for the year are Prof. C. E. Menser, coach; Gustave O. Larson, manager; Dr. George Thomas, Dr. Raymond D. Harriman and Bryan Johnson, members of the debating council. The future promises much for debating with a definite system of proceedure and a capable coach full of enthusiasm, and material for teams unsurpassed in quality, the University of Utah bids fair to command even more recognition in the West than she has had formerly.
