I I I THE RED AND BLACK. DEMOSTflENI AN SOC IET V Society was called to onler liv president Tidwell, at regular hour of meeting, 10: 0. Thin being reg ulnr time for election of officer* the following were elected without op position: President, Guyton; vice- president, Uyels; first censor, limit; second censor, Pettis. Question for dehate, “Resolved, That Cleveland* courae of action has been in accord with I lomorratlo doctrine,” wax the one unpointed for the day, hut aouie wished to substitute for it, “Resolved, That Kvan*' election for (lovernor of Georgia would he more helpful to Democratic intercut* in the •lute than for Atkinson to lie elected.” The debate wax long and animated, and reunited in a deciaion for the affirmative, when the house appealed from the deciaion of the chair. All of which ahowa that the Imy* arc inlerealed in the politic* of the country and that they are about equally divided between the above named candidate*. The quealion for today'* debate will he the tiral named above. Me**!-* 1'l.trk and McGregor leading dinputanlH. Some of the claaae* in our Nouietv have arranged In coiiIunI lor the medal offered by the trustee*, au l effort ha* been made to get up the requiNite number hi each of the cla*«e*, hut thoae who lake iulereat in tin* HiHMely, attend the meeting* and work luithfully in the regular debate*, have refilled to enter the context because they *ny the Nueces* fill one* in context* for medal* and speaker’* place* are seldom the men who deserve the position*. They appreciate the apiril of the trustee* in offering these medals, but their generous action will not amount to much uules* they can slop the practice of partiality and favoritism so long prevalent in the University. As long a* some boys can play hall, tennis, etc., during session* of the societies and never appear in them except at some contest, ami then because ol their wealth of popularity ami with speeches written by their able friend* outside of college, win the medals, speaker's places, etc., both in so oiety and their classes, the award iug of medals will do little to keep up the literary societies. Wherever the University is know n this prac tice i* known or believed, and it is her greatest enemy. When hard working and ambitious boys who contemplate entering college learn that the average hoy stands but lit tie chance at these things at the University, they overlook the good to be derived from entering these contests, and consequently goes to Kiuory or Mercer. Not only does this favoritism keep many boy* sway from the University, but it causes a great deal of political strife. Those who work for positions and lose them simply for reason* given above, naturally make effort* to keep mere popularity from placing men in offices tilled bv election. They believe that when a boy does hi* own work and earns a position, he should have it. And it is to be hoped that tile Trustee* will look into this matter and not suffer it to longer exist. I’llI KAPPA SOC’IKTV. Saturday, March dlst, the l’hi Kappa society met as usual. After the customary pieliminaries the election of officer* for April was held. Mr. Kean was elected presi dent; Mr. llrooke* tirxt assistant president; Mr. K/./.ard, second as sistant president; Mr. Uiltman, sec retary; Mr. Iloffmeyer, assistant sec retary; Mr. Fuller, lirxl censor, and Mr. Harris second censor. A debate was then belli upon the subject, “Resolved, That women should be allowed to vote." Mr. Bean led for the affirmative, and Mr. Fuller led lor the nagative. Messrs Shoarouse, Roland, Cochran and Stephen* followed lor the affir mative; and Messrs K/./.ard, Smith ami Iloffmeyer followed tor the negative. AC r a spirited and interesting debate the president, Mr. Harris, gave hi* decision hi favor of the negative. The question for debate today is “Resolved, That the action of the South in seceding from the Union was justifiable.” The society has decided to give a medal to the best debater among those who contest for Champion Debaters’ places this year. It is hoped that a good many will speak \ so that good men can be selected to represent ths society at commence- meal. Hon. Samuel Harnett, of Wash ington, Gn., formerly a trustee of the University, passed through the city Tuesday on bis way to Rich mond.
