DEBATING COUNCIL OPENS ITS SEASON LAUDING NEW DEAL

Continuing its policy of arguing on pertinent questions of current interest, the Harvard Debating Council will open its intercollegiate season with a dual match against Yale on the subject "Resolved, That the welfare of the country demands that a vote of confidence be given the Roosevelt administration in the coming Congressional elections."

This debate, which will be held on October 31, will be the usual type of dual debate, in which the negative teams travel to meet the affirmative teams of the opponents. Thus, the Harvard negative team will face the Yale affirmative trio in New Haven, while the Yale negative will travel to Cambridge to meet the Harvard affirmative team.

Trials Tomorrow

Selection of men for the two Harvard teams will be made on the basis of tryouts to be held in Peabody Hall of the Phillips Brooks House tomorrow evening. All men in the University who are interested in debating on the subject are eligible to compete for positions on the teams and men intending to tryout are requested to prepare four-minute speeches on either side.

Although the Yale debate is the first intercollegiate match on the Debating Council's schedule for this year, there are several tentative debates planned, for which the final arrangements have not yet been made. It has been rumored that a radio match with the University of Chicago will be on the program sometime in the near future and that another radio debate will be held with a team representing Oxford.

The first intra-Council debate will be the mock trial of Adolph Hitler on October 24.
