Some of the se lections which will be performed are “Overture for Brass;” “Chanson Triste”; “Seventy Six Trombones”; and “Marche Vaillant”, Pre-Marital Sex- Yes or No The Forum Committee, one segment of the Stu dent Union, presented a debate in Moore Hall and the question for debate was ‘Are you in Accord with Pre-marital Sex on College Campuses?” The debators against the question of pre-mari tal sex on college cam puses were Ann Jenkins, a junior Biology major, Alfred Carter, a junior Sociology major, and Ja- von Brodiers, a junior Art major. The advisor for this group was Mr, Larry Martin, History instruct or, The debators support ing the question of pre marital sex on college campuses were Velmar Rountree, a junior Soci ology major, Earnell Purington, a junior His tory major, and Alphanso Carney, a Sophomore So cial Science major. The advisor for this group was Mr. C. J.White. The moderator for the debate was Shirley Bount, a junior Sociology major. Each side debated the question with validated information to support their stand. The members of each team were very well prepared. The Cons supported their belief by saying that premarital sex leads to very deep guilt feeling by the female, abortions in which some cases the wo man isn’t pregnant and forced marriages. The Cons were also against pre-marital sex because of moral reasons. It is forbidden by society and the Bible mentions that it should not be. The Pros felt that pre marital sex prevented couples from being mar ried only to find that sex ually they are incompati ble. Pre-marital sex they felt limited masturbation and gave both parties in volved a better out look on their sexual life in marriage. The Pros not ed that in a survey made on campus the majority of the stuaents spoke for pre-marital sex. The judges for the de bate were Mr. Sloan,Col- lege Counselor, Mr. Har ris McIntyre, a junior Sociology major, and Miss Loretta Johnson, a junior Sociology major. The judges based their decision on such criteria as deliverance, quality of information and ability to answer questions. The judges final decision was by a narrow margin. The Cons lost by one and one- half point. The final score was 91 to 92 1/2. After the debate there was a question and an swer period in which the audience took a very ac tive part. From a small audience, the panel of de bators got quite a few baffling questions. Though it was noted by one Pro speaker that a large majority of our young population do in dulge in pre-marital sex, was it evident that this fact did make such an act right, as was questioned by one female student. She was answered, after a slow deliberation that no, that fact didn’t make such an act right but... who was to say what was right and what was wrong, A question which seemed to confuse the Cons somewhat was “If one does not plan to ever get married, is he or she to go through life without in dulging in sex?” His an swer, though it seemed round and about, was that the debators were con cerned with the average person. The average per son does want to ger mar ried at some time in his or her life so therefore his question could not be applied rightly so to what had been saidby the Cons. The next topic for de bate by the Forum Com mittee will be “Should Abortions Be Legalized in the United States’*. This forum is to be presented on April 29 In the Little Theatre at 8:00 P.M.
