1. American civilization is on the decline.
2. Killings by prohibition enforcement agents are deplorable.
3. The disintegrating tendency in Universities is favorable to education.
4. American dollar diplomacy is a menace to world peace.
5. Disarmament conferences are ineffectual as an aid to peace.
6. An English speaking alliance is the most effective instrument for world peace.

8. Four years in college are four years wasted.
9. The talking movie is a foe to culture.

Other debates are scheduled with Columbia, Dartmouth, Amherst. Holy Cross, North Carolina, and an All-Cali-fornia team. During the spring recess there will be two western trips, one team going as far west as Omaha.
