Forensic History Varied Interesting When eighty debate teams from seven states invade the University Friday for the annual Debate and Discussion Conference, the school will see in action what used to be the most important extra-curricular activity of college students. Though debate has become one of lesser publicized activities, sev eral thousand students continue to participate each year. The University, according to Don Olson, coach, wins on the average of seventy per cent of its debates, "a rather outstanding rec ord." In an interview with the Daily Nebraskan, Olson explained the progress of University debating since the beginning of the school. "The early literary societies ini tiated debate in most schools," he said. "The first University student group to engage in the art was The Palladian Literary Society, still in existence on the campus." It is interesting to note that many of the questions considered by the early debaters are still mat ters of contention, Olson stated. Some of these questions are: "That the President of the Uni ted States should hold but one term of office." "That the laboring classes have just cause for complaint." "That the reading of the Bible and other religious exercise should be prohibited by law." "That military instruction in the United States should be abol ished.". Other questions are less likely to be found in modern day de bating. "That circumstances have more to do with the formation of a man's character than the man himself." "That the annexation of Canada would be beneficial to the United States." In 1901 a debating board was set up to control the activity and a debate coach was appointed. At this time, all women were barred from participating in debate, a policy which continued until 1941, Olson remarked. A four-year train ing program, known as "The Sys tem" was set up by the new coach. In the spring of 1906 The Daily Nebraskan reported, "The Nebras ka-Wisconsin debate which will take, place in Memorial Hall to morrow night will attract an im mense crowd. Three-fourths of the seats on the main floor have been taken by college organizations. The Senior Laws will attend in a body to root in honor of Mr. Corey who is the only '07 law student on the team." At the Iowa debate the next year, the paper records that "Those in charge of the debate in dicate that v at least a thousand people will be present" At this time, debaters could be expected to take part in three or four debates each year. In 1926 the number began to increase and in 1939 the Cornhusker stated that "Each season the University of Nebraska engages in thirty or more intercollegiate debates." At the present time, Olson said, the squad has about 150 debates each year. "From 1920 until 1942 Nebraska did not participate in decision de bating," according to Olson. Though at the present time, al most all debates have decisions, we continue' to stress quality rat ings above win-loss records." "This year, with about twenty members on the squad, we have taken part in about 120 debates and have won about 70 per cent," Olson said. The team won the sweepstakes trophy at Winfield, Kansas and also took the women division there. The question for this year is "Resolved that the United States should discontinue direct economic aid to foreign nations".

I ELL TELIPHONI SYSTEM t I Dunninger: Telepathist Calls Women 'Emotional Dunninger, mental telepatist who will appear in the Coliseum Friday, says, "I like skeptics. They elim inate coincidence or the possibility of "plants" in the audience be cause they are always thinking of tests." Dunninger also says that the thoughts of women are more emo tional than those of men. "Women are always thinking of the pleas ant little things that make life more enjoyable for husbands or friends." ' "Also, a woman's mind is al ways new because she is always changing it," continued ttie telepa thist, who has read the minds of six presidents. Telepathy, Dunninger claims, Is not a unique talent nor has it any thing to do with the supernatural. Telepathy is a power than anyone can possess if they take the time to develop their power of extra sensory perception. The University psychology department has made no other comment on this state ment than "Dunninger 4s a great entertainer." The supernatural, mystic sort of program is not the kind presented by Dunninger. He has vigorous ly denied the existence of spirits, offering $10,000 to anyone who can show him a real house-haunting ghost, and, along with Thomas Edison and Harry Houdini, has sought to expose frauds who take advantage of public gullibility to hold "table rapping seances." Dunninger also admits that his is not an exact art. 'I cannot read the thoughts of a person who re fuses to concentrate or opposes me. Man's mind has defenses against invasion which are impreg nable without accord of purpose." "That is why I maintain only 90 per cent accuracy," Dunninger states. "Some people refuse to relax and let their thoughts flow to me. .With them, I can do noth- Bus Ad Smoker Delta Sigma Pi, men's profes sional business' fraternity, will hold a smoker for all male business administration majors Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in Parlors A, B, and C of the Union, according to Jerry Lincoln, president. ing."
