Page Four THE MER< CER CLUSTER November 11, 1921 N( FRESH VS. FRESH WITH PHI DELTAS Put Much Warmth in Cracked Subject. Cold In an extemporaneous and farcical debate held in the Phi Delta Literary Society hall on Monday evening, Freshmen triumphed over Freshmen. That is, Herschel Davis and G. E. Snellgrove, pleading for the cause of the negative of the subject, “Resolved that ice is not what it is cracked, up to be,”' won the unanimous decision of the judges over E. E. Grant and R. E. Walker, exponents of the affir mative. * ; • Freshman Davis apparently , won the commendation of all those prcs- •ent, with his clever generalship of himself as an impromptu debater on the floor. He declared that the sub ject for discussion was “a wonderful one, and line that had been discussed ■ so often by our representatives in the Senate that it hpd become nationally ; known.” The debate was strictly "freshmen” and , the, debaters did honor to their class when they upheld its' standards in a “call” debate. The meeting was the official one for the election of officers, the fol lowing ones being elected for the Coming month: 'C. W. Pope, . presi dent; W. M Hinesley, vice-president; B. H. Farrer, critic; R. M. Gamble, censor;- O. K. Webb, secretary-treas urer; L. D-.. Tyner,' assistant secre tary; L. L. LoVett, janitor, and R. L. Brantley, reporter. ^luring the nomination of officers “Bob’’ Gamble took advantage of every known parliamentary law in an effort to snatch one of the society offices into his own' power. After nominating himself for president and running a losing race, he didn’t lose hope, for when somebody nominated him for censor he immediately arose and moved that the nominations be closed and consequently won out and ■ is now serving in -the capacity of this high and honored office. Max Lasse- ter was in the running for the presi dency of the society, and it is under stood that he received the unanimous vote of ' the Bolsheviki element. .Freshmen figured conspicuously in the nominations, which speaks well for thprh.. Freshman Lansdale was run for four of the offices but failed to gain the recognition of the voters with his stately bearing and intellec tual expression Anyway they will have their day. Judging from the. expressions ol several members of the society, there will be a good number representing Old' Phi Delta when the intercolle giate tryouts are held on-December 2.

Mercer ministerial association held several street meetings in Macon Sat urday night. L. F. Peak, had charge of the services. The first service was held on Sec ond street near the Capitol theater. After songs led by N. A: Thompson several student ministers delivered live-minute talks to the crowds that' collected. Many people in the audi ence showed deep interest in the earnest appeals, of the young preach ers, according to those in attendance at the meetings. ' ’ The next meeting was held among the “colored brethren” near the Douglass Hotel. The talks of the speakers were here often punctuated by fervent “amens” from the dusky ■hearers. Two-officers were kept busy clearihg the sidewalks at this meet ing, so great was the crowd that as sembled. The audience contained a sprinkling of foreigners, also. As the crowds swelled and the of ficers worked to keep a passageway, one of the bluecoats said, “Go the limit, boys, I will take care of the traffic.” Another service was held on the same spot Sunday evening, At this time twenty-eight men made a pro fession of faith in .Christ, and pledged themselves to lead a new life.' • .
