Page Six T II E TAR HEEL DEBATERS ENJOY EXCELLENT YEAR Speakers Win All But One Con test in Active Year. DATES FOR ORAL EXAMS ANNOUNCED Nine Candidates for Doctor's Degrees to Take Exams This Week. By J. C. WILLIAMS In so far as the University of North Carolina is concerned, the past season of intercollegiate debating was a very successful one. Only one defeat mars the record of the Tar Heel forensic artists that at the hands of the Uni versity of Texas." Although some of the debates were no-decision contests, in all of these the Carolina debaters made creditable showings. The season was opened in November by a debate with The National Union of Students (British). The Tar Heel aggregation upheld the negative side of "Resolved, That the disadvantages of co-education outweigh its advan tages." The system of letting the au dience render the decision was used. This system is very popular with British debaters and is rapidly gain ing a foothold in the United States. A vote was taken both before and after the debate to determine the per centage of change in the opinions of the listeners occasioned by the debate. The Carolina team was declared vic torious by the margin of a one percent change in the opinions of the audience greater than the change occasioned by the efforts of the Britishers. The Britishers had not hitherto met with a defeat. The next home debate of the season found the Carolina hot air specialists pitted against debaters representing the University of Texas. The debate was sponsored by the Texas Club, which is composed of students in North Carolina and former residents of the Lone Star State living in the vicinity of Greensboro. The Caro 'lina representatives upheld the nega tive side of "Resolved, That the United States should enter the World Court without reservations" and lost to the Texans by an audience decision. Early in March two members of the local debate squad journeyed to Tenn essee and Kentucky and engaged the University of the South and the Uni versity of Kentucky on "Resolved, That the public should own and op erate the hydro-electric power plants of the United States." They vied with the University of the South once and the University of Kentucky four times at various points in the state of the latter's location. All of these were no-decision contests. The de bates with the University of Kentucky attracted" an unusual amount of in terest due to the fact that there are four hydro-electric power sites in the I state which are of considerable pro portions. In the third home debate of the sea son three Tar Heel debaters won a well-earned decision over the Mar quette University debaters who were taking an extended southern trip at the time. The local team upheld the negative end of "Resolved, That the public should own and operate the hydro-electric power plants of the United States." The decision was rendered by the audience which was very encouraging in point of size. The last home debate of the year saw representatives of two universi ties of great pre-eminence performing on the forensic stage the University of North Carolina and Harvard Uni versity; the former, the oldest state university in the United States; the latter, the oldest university in the United States of any kind. The local debaters presented the negative end of "Resolved, That loyalty is the curse of the American College." There was no decision. The audience was con spicuous both for its size and atten tiveness. In the final intercollegiate debate of the year forensic representatives of two historic rivals locked horns in the first Carolina-Virginia Radio Debate of history and, in fact, the first radio debate to be held in the South. The Tar Heel aggregation argued the af firmative end of "Resolved: That na tional advertising as it is now carrned on is both socially and economically harmful." This no-decision debate was broadcast from stafion WRVA, Richmond, on the night of April 25. Thus the 1928-29 intercollegiate de bating season of the University of North Carolina ended.
