DISPLAYS PLACED IN UNION BUILDING Work of North Carolina Artists Shown in Hill Music Hall. Purpose Of Debating At Carolina Explained In Alumni Review Issue (Editor's Note: The following arti cle contains excerpts from a recent feature appearing in the Alumni Re view titled "The New Era in Debat ing at Carolina." It is printed here for those interested in the state high schools debate finals in Memorial hall tonight.) The purpose of debating at the University of North Caro lina is to give students training in public speaking with a view to their participation in public affairs, to help them to a better understanding of important and persistent problems, and to of fer the public an opportunity of hearing such problems dis cussed. We do not consider debating an altercation, an elocutionary exhibition, a laboratory exercise in logic, or an intercollegiate sport. Specifically, we eneour-J :age fair, sincere, realistic dis cussion, addressed to an audi ence rather than to a set of judges. We are that rapidly growing group that find the old system of judges' decisions an inducement to artificiality, insin cerity and concentration on two or thrpA "rhamrjions" who de bate time after time on the same subjects. In spite of some of the advantages, such as the zest of the debaters themselves in a decision-combat, we have almost dropped decisions. And, what ever the reasons, audience at tendance has increased, averag ing for the current year about 65 for each debate. With ' few exceptions, and those for practical necessity our students speak only on the side of their convictions. They nev er use any arguments that they do hot consideii valid. We de mand sincerity. We discourage posing, eagle-screaming, hollow flattery, or bombast on the stage. Cheap tricks, such as hurling a long list of questions at the opponents, holding back alternate plans, citing warped statistics, are unheard of here. Courtesy and good manners are stressed; a violation is al most unforgivable. We tolerate .no ungenerous epithets, no mocking of the opponent's man nerisms, no unfriendly sarcasm. Our men must be severe on weak arguments, but polite to the man who uses them. One of the fruitful and pleas ant features of our activity is the receiving and entertaining of visiting teams.

The program will be featured by arts and crafts exhibits, mu sic, games, dances, and floral displays, with the view to giv ing expression to the life of the people of the state.
