JHartwig,-national secre tary-treasurer of the Athletic Federa tion of College Women, yesterday told the coed delegates to the North Caro lina state conference of the federation which ends here today. ? "There is a loss of continuity, in ideas from year to year, which seems to culminate in an upswing of enthus iasm every eignt years," Miss Jtiarx wig said. "But nothing comes of this periodic enthusiasm no new ideas in women's athletics are brought out as they should be." In order for coed athletics" to" de velop as they should, college women must continue to educate themselves concerning physical education, she said. Mass participation, rather than high quality of skill achieved by a few people, is to be encouraged as the aim of women's sports, Miss Hartwig de clared. "Large intramural programs with a large number of girls taking part is preferable to the varsity type of sports activity," she said. "A tendency away from a highly-organ ized system of awards, and the en couragement of sports for all women. purely for the sake of participating and not so much to develop skill, is to be encouraged." uoheere women are iortunate m See COED ATHLETES, page U.

Bradshaw pre sented the Aycock Memorial cup to Charles Markham and Walter Cannon of the negative team representing Durham high school in the 29th annual final debate of the North Carolina high school debating union held in Memorial hall last night. On the query, "Resolved: That the United States should adopt the policy of requiring one year of training of all able-bodied men before they reach the age of 23," Frank Leggett, the first speaker and member of the af firmative team of Washington high school, said the need for a "strong enough army to put down any form of attack, from within or without" is obvious in this time of emergency. Useless Sacrifice The purpose of the one-year mili tary training, he said, is to avoid send ing inexperienced men to war and sacrificing them uselessly. Markham, first Durham high speaker on the negative side, advo cated a two-ocean fleet "stronger than any fleet afloat" in the belief that such See DEBATES, page 4. Ayco M eet The Candidates . . .

Ninety Nominees Enter Final Lap Tor Fifty Offices Yesterday was election day for two student body candidates as approxi mately fifty nominees, thirty cam paign managers and party men, and four Student council members dis tributed themselves at four meeting places to make legal the 00 loudly proclaimed nominations of the past two months. Hated run-off s were definitely elim inated as official nominations for the first time in four years failed to pro duce a single three-way race for any of the 50 offices and the campus was assured that Tuesday will end politick ing. Only two independent, candidates were nominated and these are running against two-party endorsed nominees. Elected with no opposition were Henry Moll for editor of the Caro lina Magazine, Bucky Harward for junior member of the Publications Union board, Fred Broad for president of the YMCA, Hugh Quimby for treasurer of the YMCA, and Warren Mengel, Roy Stroud, Walter Haas, Alliene Brawley, Ernest Morris and Harry Scully for town students' repre sentatives to' the Student legislature. Coeds Do Well Coeds hit a new high this year with six women students nominated, They are sure of the secretaryship of the senior class with the University party's Breezy Breazeale opposing Student party's Jean McKenzie. Other coed nominees are Elsie Lyon (UP), for debate council; Jane Dickinson (SP), for senior student legislature representative; Ditzi Buice (SP), for secretary of the rising sophomore class ; and - Alliene Brawley ( SP-UP ) , for town representative to the legis lature. ' The prospect of no run-offs leaves Student council men second in happi ness only to the unopposed candidates who will not have to campaign. Best touch of humor in the fifteen- minute formality yesterday was fur nished in the freshman nominations when the procedure was held up while a Student party man was sent in; to nominate the party's rising sophomore candidates. .
