TRIALS FOR THREE DEBATING TEAMS OPENING TONIGHT

Trials for places on the Harvard debating squad will be held in the Phillips Brooks House at 7.30 o'clock tonight. Upperclassmen will have a chance to try out for the three teams, one of which will go on the annual spring trip. The competition is open to all upperclassmen, and those who succeed by participating in a formal intercollegiate debate will automatically become members of the Harvard Debating Council.

The subject of the trial argument is "Resolved: That the Olympic games are an aid to international good will and to international good will and understanding". The meeting will be in charge of R. B. Eckles '32, president of the Council, and Coach J. M. Swigert '30.

The Council will prepare one of the three teams in the next few weeks for the first spring debate on March 12. On this date the Crimson forensic team will uphold the Crimson forensic team will uphold the affirmative side of the topic "Resolved: That Congress should enact legislation providing for the centralization of industry" against the University of Florida invaders in the Fogg Art Museum. On March 31 the University team will clash in debate with Oberlin College on the subject "Resolved: That some form of socialism should be adopted in the United States", and will uphold the negative side. This debate will probably be held at the University Club in Boston before a gathering of Oberlin College alumni.

The spring trip will be shorter this year and will not go as far south as was originally intended. The Council team will journey through the Middle Atlantic States, especially Pennsylvania, in which states it will come against three or four college teams. This trip will last from April 5 to 10.
