FIRST YEAR DEBATING COUNCIL TO BE FORMED

A meeting to organize debating for the Class of 1935 under the auspices of the Harvard Debating Council to which all interested Freshmen are invited, will be held in the upstairs common room of the Harvard Union on Thursday at 7.15 o'clock. The new plans for this year, which will be discussed in full then by F. C. Packard '20, assistant professor of Public Speaking, and R. B. Eckles '32, president of the debating council, include the organization of a Freshman debating council which, save for the initial guidance of the University team officers, will have complete control of the conduct and schedule of the 1935 team.

Another innovation will be brief and informal weekly debates on topics of current interest in which any Freshman, whether a qualified debater or not, may participate. University officials or members of the University Debating Council will preside over the meetings.
