1948 THE MICHIGAN TLY offim 'WORTHY OPPONENTS': World's Problems Tackled By Varsity Debate Squad By LILIAS WAGNER If you like to expound on cur- rent issues, there's a place for you here. After renewing Big Nine inter- collegiate competition last fall for the first time since the war, the Michigan Varsity Debate squad, with a host of challenging topics to keep them hopping, are oper- ,ting on a full-scale basis again this semester. Students from var- ious schools within the Univer- sity are out for this extra-curricu- lar activity, which is calling for new recruits to join the ranks. No previous debate experience is required. Before Audience One of the main purposes of the activity is debate before actual audiences. To this end, an at- tempt is made to put debaters be- fore audiences at the very start, and to have as many students as possible participate in actual per- formances. To stimulate audience interest in topics, various kinds of debates are being tried, although the cross-examrination type is stress- ed. One of the more effective forms" involves the shift of opin- ion ballot in which the value of the debate in influencing the opinions of the audience is test- ed. Largest Group This year's group actively par- ticipating in debate is one of the largest since debating was start- ed at Michigan by Prof. True- blood. The Michigan Varsity squad was one of the first in the country when it was launched in 1893 in a debate .with the Univer- sity of Wisconsin. Last year, members traveled 2,500 miles, participated in 50 debates, and spoke before 15,000 people. By Dental School Officers The freshman class of the Den- tal School has elected new officers for the coming semester. Those elected to the positions are: Julius Franks, president; Richard Haggerman, vice - presi- dent; Jack Smith, Secretary; Mike Glover, treasurer; and Robert Love, student council representa- tive. the end of this year, according to D. C. Kleckner, coach of debate, the varsity debaters will have giv- en 60 public performances before audiences ranging "from labor groups to high school assemblies." Besides discussing such issues as compulsory arbitration of labor disputes and world federal gov- ernment, the squad takes up as many campus topics as possible. In the near future, teaching meth- ods in the colleges and universi- ties will receive the squad's at- tention In one of the debates. Anyone who is interested in the opportunities afforded by actual participation in varsity debate may contact Mr. Kleckner in Rm. 4202 Angell Hall. So if you like to argue, why not look into it?

The drop from 1,024 mishaps in 1946 to 875 in 1947 was attributed to Ann Arbor's intensive traffic congestion relief program under- taken during the summer. istening in... with MARY STEIN Amidst a welter of quiz shows, MONDAY: soap operas and set-formula dra- 10 a.m. WWJ-Fred Waring mas, one of the few new ideas in (week-days). . - ' ,,7:15 p.m. WJR-Jack Smith. radio is "CBS Is There." 8:00 p.m. WJR-Inner Sanct- Broadcasters report "on the um. spot" the history of hundreds of 7:25 p.m. WPAG-FM-Basket- years ago, as if it were going to balla make tomorrow's headlines.
