Certificates will be presented to each
student having attended all of the lec-
tures to the end of the year to show

of work in boy guidance, according to
an announcement by Father Mooney.

Father Mooney will be given on the fol-
lowing subjects:
Boys’ Work and Catholic Action.

Forensic activities at St. Edward’s
for the coming season will get under
way Thursday, Feb. 25, when two girls’
teams representing Baylor college, Bel-
ton, come to Austin for two non-
decision contests. A St. Edward’s neg-
ative team will engage the Baylor
affirmative duo at 4:30 in the after-
noon, and that same evening at 7 an
affirmative team of St. Edward’s will
argue with a Baylor negative team.
Baylor holds an enviable debating
record, according to forensic followers,
and should provide unusually keen
competition for the Saint debaters.
What four men will make up the two
teams to go against Baylor has not
yet been determined, Coach Borchers
said, but they will be selected on a
basis of merit from the following nine
men: Gus Strauss, Charles White, Ed
Coleman, Sam Kennedy, Onufry
Bomba, Dewitt Dunn, John McLemore,
Alfred Clyde and Charles Schulze.
Teachers College Booked
It has also been announced that it
is highly probably that a dual encoun-
ter between St. Edward’s and South-
west Texas State Teachers college will
take place one of the first few days- of
March. The engagements will be held
on the same night, one in San Marcos
and one here.
Following this, a Saint affirmative
team will meet Stephen F. Austin
State Teachers college here in a non-
decision contest on Saturday night,
March 5. The Austin Teachers are on
a tour of this section of the state.
Baylor University Listed
Forensic encounters with Southwest-
ern university at Georgetown and
Howard Payne college at Brownwood
will take place the following week. And
on March 17, Baylor university of
Waco and St. Edward’s will meet in
Bartlett. The contest will be spon-
sored by the Bartlett High school and
be wholly under their supervision,
Borchers said.
Several practice debates between the.
Saint teams have already been held,
Borchers said, and the men, in spite of
their inexperience, are developing rap-
idly.
Developments that may upset some
of the hitherto held beliefs regarding
the Coronado expedition into Texas
are likely to follow from investigations
that are now being made, the Rev. Dr.!

Organization Named After St.
Edward’s Late Debater, Ath-
lete, and Honor Student.
Memory of Roland Blackwell will
be perpetuated in the University by
the naming of the new public speak-
ing club of the University the Roland
Blackwell club. Blackwell, who died
* last fall following a year’s illness, was
president of the senior class of 1931,
a member of the debating squad, and
co-captain of the football team.
In selecting his name for the club,
the speakers brought out that Black-
well had been a student, an athlete,
a debater, and a gentleman, and well
deserved the honor they wished to be-
stow upon him.
The first meeting of the club was
held on Thursday, Feb. 11. At this
meeting John D. Raffaelli, Pat Me-
-F Laughlin, and Vincent Lucia were ap-
^g^inted by Elmore Borchers, profes-
sor of public speaking in the Univer-
sity , as a committee to- draw up a con-
stitution for the club. This constitu-
tion was duly drawn up and presented
to the club members at a meeting held I
i on Feb. 15. With a few changes the
constitution was ratified by the mem-
bers.
Pat McLaughlin President
At this meeting Pat McLaughlin was
elected president of the society, and
Charles Schulze was elected vice-presi-
dent. Charles Trefflich was elected
secretary. Officers gave their inau-
> gural addresses at the first regular
meeting of the society held on Tuesday
evening, Feb. 23.
Membership in the society is open
to any student in the University. The
purpose of the society as stated in the
constitution is to encourage interest in
public speaking among the students,
and to furnish an opportunity for
practical experience for those inter-
ested. Activities at the club meetings
will be of all forensic types, debating.,
dft^ratorical, and extemporaneous. Meet-
*Tings are all to be conducted according
to the rules of parliamentary proced-
ure in order to give practical experi-
ence to the members.
Members Must Speak
Elmore Borchers, professor of pub-
lic speaking, is moderator of the so-
ciety, and assigns and approves all
speeches to be delivered. Each mem-
ber of the society is required to speak
^^at least once every four meetings, un-
^less excused by the president of the
club.
Those wishing to join shall turn in
their names to either Mr. Borchers or
McLaughlin. Meetings are to be held
every Tuesday evening at 6:20, and to
last not longer than one hour.
