Dr. W. M. Conant '79 and D. S. Gibbs '27 complete the list of speakers for the debate at the Union tomorrow evening on the question: "Resolved, That this house favors the enlargement of the Stadium to a seating capacity of 80,000 people."
Dr. Conant graduated with the class which made possible the building of the present Stadium. This class will meet tonight at the Harvard Club of Boston to discuss the proposed changes. He will announce the consensus of opinion of its members tomorrow night. With A. R. Sweezy '29, managing editor of the CRIMSON, he will uphold the negative.
D. S. Gibbs '27, former CRIMSON editorial chairman and now a member of the staff of the New York World, will take the affirmative side of the question Lothrop Withington '11 and M. A. Check '26 will be his colleagues. The former is president of the Harvard Club of Boston, and in his undergraduate days was a prominent football and crew man Cheek, who likewise favors enlargement of the Stadium, was captain of the 1928 football team.
The Debating Union has decided to make the debate parliamentary rather than formal, in order to obtain a representative poll of the undergraduate feeling in regard to the question. Five minute speeches will be allowed to any undergraduate or alumnus who wishes to express his views on the subject.
