Debating
A Lost Art.
Modesilv. and somewhat unheralded, the
Nebraska debate team makes its 1937 debut,
against two debaters from the University of
California.
It is significant that the opening- of the
forensic season practically is unheralded. It is
significant also that the scene of the first de
bcte is Lincoln high school.
A debater, to the majority of the univer
sity undergraduate populace, is a literal foun
tain spuutine fine phrases; a somewhat de
merged fanatic who is attempting to change
the face of the world. In reality he is a tech
nician who seeks to do the nigh impossible
make his collegiate listeners think.
tr
These bright young coilegiai.s don't feel
the inclination, nor have they the time to think.
Their university life is moving at too swift a
pace to permit indulgence in an hour devoted
to listening K verbal conflict, to thoro and
complete discussion of the topics of the day.
It is regrettable that debating on this cam
pus is locked il-jMi! upon and scorned by the
majority of indents. Compared to eastern and
western academies of learning, where argu
mentation in clubs and senates flourishes and
s abetted by interested members of the stu
dent imdy and faculty. thi campus is bare a;
a Nebraska apple tree in .TLP.uary.
i
Lpon a hat will ihest- many young people
b-sse their claim to useful membership in the
community in later life if they do not bother
uow with an education! A degree may get
them by for awhile, but the nice sounding
words on the white paper will not fool the
world all of the time. Vet this apathy and
lethargy exist with only feeble efforts to over
come them. The students of this campus fail
to support a fine speaker when he is brought
for convocations. nd they have in the past re
fuse! to participate in open forum discussions
propounded by the Student Council.
A evidence of the ancient faith in aryu
ir.entation which still exists in some institu
tions, two men from California appear against
two froii Nebraska today. These two visitors
ire on an extended trip thruout the nation,
sharpening themselves and publicizing their
tcho'd thru their efforts.
T; e debate will be held t Lincoln high
partly because there are but poor fa
cilities or the nrdversiry campus, but more be
cause the high school siudents liavc proved to
re a much more receptive audience than col
lege men and " omen.
The university (.indent body should l.sten
to this debute. n one of the leading politic
jsnd fsfciolr.gical problems of 1 re hour, but
we'll '.isff-r lhat but few, vejy few, v. iil bt
p-esf.t it Linco'n high school this afternoon.

TO THE EDITOR:
With th govrri.r.er.t appropriation for
the Student I."r;e,n building specifying that
work on the structure must bg!.i early in Jan
uary, the dream cf such a budding has been
Fpeedily realized. The board of reent has
eted with unprecedented pjickne.s. and ha
f-hv.n the ie eat of Ellen Smith hall a that
for the new building. Actuil work on raziuif
has been Parted.
I'rexjoiiviy jioi, of the actual school build
viet, extended pant 1 4t h Ktreet. The move
towr.rd the fjit. ?nd toward the organized
Greek houses, ndds to the long time plan of
campus expansion, but dors it. add to the unity
of those who attend the university?
The whole principle behind the reason for
n Student Union building is summed up in its
name. Supposedly, the meeting place on the
campus, the resting place, the matrimonial bu
reau, the Student Union begins where the for
mal classroom ends. The chosen site for the
structure will be especially accessible to fra
ternity and sorority members, who usually
have more time to congregate with friends
than does the average unaffiliated student. It
will take the place, for affiliated groups, of
"at sosh, under the clock," and, perhaps, the
well known caking houses.
The bnrb, ;it best, finds himself a mem
ber of a group of persons who desire extra
curricular activity, but who have no time to
find or carve inches in this field. Lacking
definite organization with the students in his
straits, the unaffiliate entering the Student
Union building would find the students there
composed of many clans, united in indifference
or faint distaste for him. and the persons he
represents. This disagreeable condition, how
ever petty, and actually insignificant, is bound
to affect, drastically, the lonely unaffiliate.
It is not practical even to suggest a change
of site, but an earnest plea must be made that
the Student Union will not become a political
institution, which will be considered as merely
another meeting place for members of Greek
organizations.
The privilege is beinir given to Nebraska
university to build a structure which will uni
fy the perilously low mutual interest among
students. It must not lie abused because of
the proximity of the militavistically organized
Greeks. All students must feel that the Stu
dent Union building is theirs, that no barriers,
social or scholastic, mav be raised.

accomplished by changing the
present organization pertaining to
freshmen as would be realized by
the adoption of a lower divisional
system. He emphasized the point,
however, that no prediction could
be made as to the possible direc
tion the action might take until
the committee had considered the
proposal.
Because no definite outline of
the plan has been drawn up, nor
any crystallized line of action been
determined upon, immediate
change in the present university
organization is not anticipated, ac
cording to Dean Thompson.
Members of the committee,
chosen from the colleges which
now enroll freshmen, are as fol
