New Districts
The steady growth of the organization has again made necessary the creation of additional Districts. The first year there were three, last year there were five, and now there will be ten .. These are established by Genera l Order No. 7. A significant change will b!': noted in the naming of the Districts. It was Jeerned hy the Council no longer feasible to assign directional names such as "'Northern" or " 'Western" and consequently the Districts have been named after the state in that District having the largest number of Chapters.
General Order No. 7
For the purpose of the third general ele..::tion and until otherwise directed, the Chapters are divided into Districts in such manner that there shall be not less than ten nor more rhan twenty Chapters in any one District, a, follow.; :
NE\V YORK DISTRICT-All Chapters i11 New York, New Hampshire, and Maine, now twelve in number;
PENNSYLVANIA DISTRICT-All Chapters in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Florida, now sixteen in numbr;
OHIO DISTRICT-All Chapters in Ohio, Indiana, and West Virginia, now sixteen in number;
\\lISCONSIN DISTRICT-All Chapters in \Visconsin and Michigan, now eighteen in number ;
ILLINOIS DISTRICT-All Chapters in Illinois, Tennessee, and Mi�souri, now thirteen in number;
IOWA DISTRICT-All Chapters in Iowa and Minnesota, now twelve in number;
SOUTH DAKOTA DISTRICT-All Chapters in South Dakota, now fifteen in number.
KANSAS DISTRICT - All Chapters in Kansas, now fifteen in number;
COLORADO DISTRICT-i\ll Chapters in Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana, now twelve in number;

Nomination of Candidates The time for election of National Officers to serve for the ensuing school
year is again at hand. According to the provisions of the constitution the Executive Council by General Order No. 8 has prescribed the time and :nanner in which that election shall be held. As only nomination of candidates take place at this time only that part of the Order concerning nominations is published at this time. The order will he published in full next month. The chapters are asked particularly to note that the nominations ;nust be in by March 1 .
General Order No. 8 Election of National Officers for 1927 shall be held as follows : 1. Before March I , 1 927, each Chapter shall nominate as candidate
for National Officer one member and submit with the nomination a statement not exceeding two hundred words setting forth the person's qualifications.
2. The National Secretary shall mail to each Chapter before March I O a list of the persons nominated in that District and a copy of the statement accompanying each nomination. The names of the candidates shall be arranged in the order in which the nominations were received by the National Secretary.
The Annual Magazine Under the editorship of President Ray Cecil Carter the N.F.L. will
:"oon publish its second annual Magazine. In order to avoid the heavy financi:t! loss which resulted last year the Executive Council, however, has agreed upon these propositions to govern the publication.
1 . The issue shall be appwximately fifty pages. 2. The price shall be fifty cents a copy. 3. Only the number subscribed for before May I , plus fifty copies shall
be published. Orders for copies of this publication should be sent as soon as convenient
to the Editor, President Ray Cecil Carter, High School, Albany, New York. Chapters should get together on this at once and send in their subscriptions and remittances so that sufficient copies will be desired to warrant publication.
Dedication of the Magazine So long \NC have referred to our annual publication simply as the Mag
::izine. We now want a more suitable, more distinctive name. To encourage the thought processes which might lead to a fortunate sugge'Stion the Council has decided to dedicate this year's annual to the person who submits the best name for the publication. The collegiate forensic honor societies have publications named '·The Gavel," "The Forensic," and "The Speaker." A name for our publication should in some similar manner· refer to the public speaking art and still should obviously be quite distinctive. Send your suggestions to the Editor. There is no restriction as to how many names n'ay he suggested by any one member.
Debate Reports
In making out reports of dcb:i.tes in which only two people part1c1pate the line for first speaker should be left blank. Some chapters have been filling in all three lines by writing the name of the team leader twice. This is confusing to the Secretary's 1)ffice and observation of the above sugges, t1on will be appreciated.
Credit Points A good many chapters do not apply for the extra point to which the
team leader is entitkd. The practice is so prevalent that it seems many chapter must overlook. the provision giving this extro point and their attention is directed to it.
