"In the past, student debates have suffered a lack of interest as far as the average student is concerned" Dawson said. "This situation is deplorable in view of the fact that every student pays a share to the support of the Debate council. It is an injustice to the student to have the workings of this organiza tion a strictly closed affair. The way to inject student interest in the de bates is to have subjects of timely in terest to the students." Dawson, a junior, is a transfer stu dent from Emory university where he as a member of the debating team and the Emory Round Table of the Air, a weekly forum of international and na tional events. He also won a varsity award in football. The -nominee is speaker pro tempore of the Phi assem bly, member of the International Rela tions club, a member of the University Photographic society. He took a prom inent part in the recent student lobby protesting an increase in tuition.

Hu man Relations institute talk on "Busi ness and Government Relationships" in Memorial hall. John Lee Coulter, noted economic and business consul tant, also favored the reinstatement of public faith in business, in his speech on "The Farmer and the Manu facturer." Davenport denned the great mass of people as being divided into three basic groups, the behavioristic, the sipirtualistic, and the economic. He was careful to point out, however, that there was a certain amount of inter mingling of the three characteristics in every man, but that primarily each man was dominantly one of the" trio. In defining what his divisions meant, Davenport stated that the be haviorist man was just an ordinary man with routine responsibilities, and with only motives of sheer existence, taking the least risk and the least responsibility. The spiritual man is the man with a soul. He is guided by that which science has not as yet ful filled, placing much moral faith in the spiritualistic. ECONOMIC MAN The economic man, as the editor of Fortune magazine pointed out, is the product of relations with man. He is controlled by a free will and is the most complex unit yet evolved in the history of the world. After reviewing the birth of the eco nomic man in the Renaissance, Daven port explained that the revolution which took place and is commonly called the Industrial Revolution was in reality a revolution of the concept of the state. He added that the eman cipation which has taken place in the last two hundred years is the greatest that the world had even seen.
