Starting out as a cello player, Childs

The first meeting of debate seminar for members of the freshman
debate squad was conducted by
Leonard Friedlander, '39, yesterday
afternoon in room 28. This meeting of the seminar is but one of a
series arranged by Mr. Louis C.
Jones, instructor in English and
freshman debate coach.
These freshman seminars are to be
conducted along lines similar to
those employed by varsity debaters.
Meetings will be conducted every
Thursday at 4:00 o'clock in room
28 with a member of the varsity
in charge. Here, the freshmen will
be given an opportunity to thrash
out the various debate topics and
aid in compiling a bibliography,
forming issues, and debate technique
will be given. For the most part,
the following debate question will
be emphasized: "Resolved, that the
United States should establish an
alliance with Great Britain."
The next two meetings of this
seminar will be presided over by
Betty Hayford and Richard Lonsdale, seniors. All members of the
freshman debate squad are expected to attend these meetings.

Catholic church in any of its aspects.
Answers to these questions will be
sought at a forum, open to all students.
