Among Students Instructive. "Unless there is plenty of dis cussion among the students at an institution there is something wrong with the method of edu cation," stated William A. Olsen of the English department and faculty adviser of the University debate council, in freshman as sembly yesterday. . ; Professor Olsen stated that it was. necessary that students get more out of discussions . Illus trating his talk with humorous stories, Olsen spoke of the types of individuals who ruin dis cussions. , Base Argument on Reasons "In backing up your, reasons for your stand in an argument," continued Olsen, "don't find rea sons for your position after taking your stand on an argu ment, but base your stand on your reasons. ' , y ' "Another thing to look out for in discussing any question, is to define and know exactly what you are talking about, and if we need one thing in our dis putations today, it's a scientific attitude in our speaking of thel probable." Various Undesirables Olsen named the puglists, in d.ividuals who center everything around themselves, "gushers," "flaw hawks," wind bags, people too -precise; individuals who- cite things from newspapers, persons without a sense of tact, lovers of dominating the conversation, individuals who get the subject off the track, and fellows who center the talk around them selves as people to be avoided when discussing problems. ' He gave Tiumorous examples of what ought to be done to each of these types. J "Debating is just organized discussion," stated Olsen in con clusion. He finished up with a discussion of the organization of the University debate council, and invited all interested stu dents to take part in the coun cil's work. Harry F.

Summons Served On Tar Heel Men The DailyTar Heel, Clai born Carr and Jim Daniels have been named as defendants in suit for, libel being, brought by Frank Clark" through "his at tornies, Anglin and Marshall , in an attempt to obtain $5,000 damages. The cause of the action was an article in yesterday's issue of this paper, in which the plain tiff alleges, was printed "libel ous and defamatory matter" ac cusing him of evading the serv ing of summons for the suit in which Frank Parker had named him as defendant. The statements at which of fense was taken were the fol lowing: "Intensive search by sheriff ancf deputies still fails to reveal hideout of felon. Clark." "It is even rumored that wretched childhood fled like Little Eva across the river, pursued by baying hounds." (The plaintiff contends that the use of the word felon to de scribe an accused not yet proved guilty by law and the compari son with Little Eva are libelous and defamatory). The complaint also avers that by means of said publication of this false, malicious and de famatory matter the plaintiff was injured in his reputation and damaged in his good name and good character and did thereby suffer such great mental anguish and humiliation to the extent of $5,000. For which he respectfully demands judg ment." The summons in this suit was served yesterday in the , office of the Daily Tar Heel by High Sheriff Markham assisted . and supported by Deputy Haywood Weeks. The law firm of Shepherd and Anderson will probably be re tained as counsel for the defend ants. This : trial is sponsored by Phi Delta Phi. - .
