cellor laid stress upon toler ance and independence of thought among other things dr capen mentioned the fact that one of the finest things ever said about oxford was that it was the home of lost causes now nicholas murray but ler president of columbia un iversity is quoted as saying that the present intolerance in america is appalling mat ters have come to such a pass that fair and reasonable dis cussion of the effects of con stitutional prohibition upon american political and social life is absolutely imposible says president butler the resultant effect upon the mor al standards of the american people has been appaling and sooner or later something must be done to arouse the american conscience anil the american intelligence from the illusions and lethargy in to which they have fallen the fact however that such men as nicholas murray but ler and chancellor capen are taking such a decided stand upon the question of intoler ance justifies the hope that this tendency will not prevail lenten services for students conducted by university church the university presbyterian church is continuing its brief lenten servioeh for students yesterday during noon hour rabbi m m cuchler

presbyterian church will speak pennsylvania relay carnival again international event the 29th annual relay race car nival under the auspices of the uni versity of pennsylvania will be held this year on friday and saturday april 27th and 28th this great car nival which is now acknowledged to be the greatest annual track and field meeting held any place in the world annually will again have internation al importance this is due to the fact that oxford university england will send a two mile team to compete in the american college two mile relay championship this will be very wel come and interesting news to the thousands who were present in 1914 when a four mile team from oxford was here and in 1920 when a com bined oxford-cambridge two mile team appeared on franklin field the 1914 race was the most sensation al race that has ever been seen in this country as oxford won by a hair the 1920 race produced a new two mile relay record though this record was affaced from the books last sea son by the wouderful team which the university of pennsylvania then pro duced the keenest interest will be taken in the british team already many are asking in what shape the american colleges are to meet this new athletic invasion of our shores it is thus reassuring to be told that the east has at least three teams — namely those from yale georgetown and cornell that will give valiant battle to the english runners the west is still to be heard from but indications are that chicago kansas and other western colleges will also have fast quarters to put into this important event though the international race will be the big feature of the coming car nival the meeting promises in other respects to be up to a higher stand ard than ever before the indoor season which is now at its height has already shown that the american col leges are in for the most brilliant track and field season in their history wonderful records are being made in all the events for instance last week charles paddock of the univer sity of southern california ran the 100 yards in 9 4-5 seconds wonderful time for so early in the season boots lever of pennsylvania was beaten only a foot by murchlson of the illinois a c at 60 yards in a new world record time 6 1-5 seconds brown of dartmouth recently cleared 6 feet 5 1-4 inches a new indoor high jump record a dozen men have got ten over 12 feet 4 inches or better in the pole vault the most notable per formance being that of owen of penn sylvania who cleared 12 feet 7 inches recently seven or eight men have put the shot better than 42 feet while meyers of rutgers recently defeated thompson formerly of dartmouth in a 70 yard hurdle nice in a new record time hellfrich of penn state came within 2-5 seconds of the world's 600 yard record at the millrose games and on the same evening connolly of georgetown made new world's figures { at two-thirds of a mile taylor of princeton woodring of syracuse the olympic 200 metre champion cop pisch of columbia and baker of vir ginia have all done close to 50 seconds indoors for the quarter mile bril liant performances have been seen all over the country but especially in the east and middle west all of the above men will be seen at pennsyl vania's relay carnival in addition the relay racing has been up to a very high standard so that new rec ords may be expected in more than one of the college relay champion ship that will be run as usual in con nection with pennsylvania's classic though the date of the meet is practically two months off there are already close to 400 institutions en tered so that last year's record list of 425 18 sure to be exceeded these include already over 80 colleges drawn from the entire united states the carnival will thus be finer than ever and of the most respective character pennsylvania's new stadium seats over 40,000 but with such a wonder ful array of teams and individual nth letes it is already predicted that it will be filled to the gates to do honor of the flower of america's college and school athletes and the visitors from oxford big argument tonight at townsend hall shall women grads be ad mitted to alumni club — question a debate between teams of girls and fellows on the question of admitting women to membership in the u b alumni club is the feature of the reg ular meeting of the debate cub which will be held at 8 o'clock this evening in townsend hall the debate is open to the public and all students are especially invited the question is worded as follows resolved that women should be ad mitted to membership in the u b alumni club the girls who will up hold the affirmative of this proposi tion are katherine rowley and ruth goldberg the negiitive comprises john h beckley and ira hovey an invitation has been sent to the u b alumni club and it is hoped that a number of its members will be present inasmuch as there is no organization for women graduates of u of b the question is admittedly a timely one then too it has never been debated before and the debaters will find no cut and dried material on the subject resources hence a lively dicussion is expected the fellows have been under the supervision of one of the debate club's coaches martin buecking the other coaches miss wilner and wal ter kendall are taking care of the girls in their preparation for this ev enings argument once before when the girls nnd fel lows clashed in formal debate the de cision went to the co-eds the sub ject upon that former occasion was coeducation so that the fellows may not have whole heartedly argued their side of the case at any rate they will have an opportunity of redeeming themselves this evening to the av erage person it may appear fool hardy to attempt to defeat the fair sex in argument but it must be remembered that in formal debate each side is strictly limited to an equal amount of time and there is only one last re buttal allowed the pittsburg debate now looms in the offing it is the big event of the year and arrangements are being made to have a real turn out both from the university and from the city to bring a high university to buf falo which ranks as high as pitts burg doos is indeed a feat and in most of our student activities it is an act ual impossibility for example what chance at present does u b have to obtain a place on pitt's football schedule it is therefore up to the university to make the most of this opportunity against pittsburgh so that u b may permanently win a place on her debating schedule another call for candidates moving up day is a little over six weeks away on that day the announcement of the bee staff for the ensuing year will be made it is still pos sible for candidates to secure positions on the staff to take the plaoes left vacant by those who graduate this year especially is there an op portunity for students in the business department of the bee this most important part of the paper sorely needs help if the bee is to be plac ed on a paying bases candi dates are wanted and are wanted immediately it is a regrettable fact that in the past activities in the university of buffalo have been conducted for a large part by a very few places on varsity teams and on publi cations should be highly de sired competition should make them rather difficult of attainment moreover it is asking too much of the few to bear the very heavy burden tmpmed upon them the bee can employ at least a score of candidates in the business department at this very mo ment will this call fall upon deaf ears or are there a few stu dents interested in maintain ing this weekly if there arc let them report tuesday even ing at townsend hall chess team defeats jewish community the university chess team fulfilled the fond expectations of its support ers by winning its first match of the year from the jewish community team by a 3 to 1 count the match was played last thursday evening in the jewish community house and tho university chess players won

whole-heurted co-operation of the undergraduates on all such occasions as i'niversity day moving l t p day was observed for ihe first time last year at the instance of the student activities committee and among the many significant and important innovations established by that organisation in 1922 moving up day is especially noteworthy within a few years when this institution will have become an established custom the wonder will be how the university could ever have gotten along without such an institution and moving up day is indeed indispensable to the student activities of the university
