Sadler And Block, Chosen

The Alpha Nu preliminary debate of Saturday evening resulted in the choici of F. P. Sadler and Edmond Black, both '95 Hts, to represent the societ}' in the University debate, which wi.ll occur during the later part of February. There were seven contestants up for Alpha Nu's honors. They were Messrs. Sadler, Black, Reynolds, Adanis, E. Geismer, H. Geismer and Eubin. ïhe i contest was sharp, each debater bein loaded with arguments and presenting . them in a manner that left no easy tast . for.the judges to piek out the winners The question debated was this : "Re solved, that attempts of employers te ignore associations of workingmen aut to deal with individual employees only is detrimental to tlie best interests o both." The judges of the contest were Profs. I. N. Demmon and F. N. Scotl and Mr. E. J. Ottoway. The debate was enjoyed by au audience that nearh filled Alpha Nu hall. Mr. Barchent, furnished the musical program, bis zither playing being very popular. The debate of Saturday evening completes the preliminary scoring and the University debate will be fought out among the following contestants: Messrs. Newton and Wilcox, Adelphi; Messrs. Kimball and Vogan, Webster; Messrs. Crosbj' and Oxtoby, Jeffersonian ; and Messrs. Padier and Black, Alpha Nu. The material thus presented will insure a debate of more than ordinary interest, and whoever may be the three winners, Michigan will certainly be ably represented in the coutest with Northwestern. Saturday evening's debate was also the dedication program of Alplia Nu hall. Those who have had recitations in room M - the old amphicheater room - would be surprised to see the neatly arranged and inviting society room that has superceded the amphitheater. The latter feature of the old room no longer exists. It has been removed. The room bas been handsomely papered, pictures arehungall around the room and the walls further decorated with statuary. It furnishes a pleasant place for the society, and being entirely unmolested bv recitations, bas none of the objectionable features of room 4, where both societies formerly held an uucertain sway. Alpha Nu is to be congratulated on her new home, and the auspicions advent into it may doubtless be correctly interpreted to mean the beginning of a new and more rosparous era. wkinkle's january smile. Wrinkle's regular smi-monthlv smile is again abroad in the land. This time it is especially broad. And why shouldn't it be when it bas for its text of hilarity and a general good time in the "Fraternity Annual Ball?" Wrinkle didn't make any New Year's resolution to stop treadiug on the toes of the Daily, the Reform League or the S. C. A. It still planks its big foot down just wherever it happens. Wrinkle objects to having bis liquor and tobacco record "indexed and put on tap in McMillan hall." Perhaps the Court Jester bas reason to file bis objections. Tliis month's jokes are appropriately new. The co-eds wlll find entertainment in "Side Talks with Girls" where they may find all sorts of pointers on love, courtship and marriage. The illustrations cali for favorable mention. The doublé page cut by Miss Dunster is an illustrationof the co-eds in the gymnasium, and being drawn by a girl it may be supposed that the scène is true to life. The front page cut is by J. H. Harria, '98, and shows up the poor local aest girl that gets jilted at J. Hop time. UNIVERSITY NOTES. The junior laws theaten to form another literary society. Mrs. Paul C.
