Post-war week events start with debate
A real battle of words and wits is expected to take place this afternoon when SC engages a visiting University of California team in a platform debate. At 2:30 p.m. in Bowne Hall, Mudd Memorial building, the Trojan top debate team of Bob Meyer and Captain Seymour Vinocur will attack the Bear plan of a
post-war federal union of the --
united nations.
California is also being represented by its top team, which has journeyed all the way from Berkeley to challenge the might of the Trojan squad. The Bear debaters plan to remain in Los Angeles throughout the week in order to participate in the Pacific Forensic league annual conference which is also to be held on this campus.
This will be the third intercollegiate debate in which Meyer and Vinocur have represented SC since the spring debate season began several weeks ago—Pasadena Junior college and College of Puget Sound having been their previous opponents.
Dr. Alan Nicholsp coach of the Trojan team, promises that today’s will be a “most lively contest because of the traditional rivalry between the two schools.”
Miss Lorinne Taglio, varsity debate manager of California, said that “the California team is extremely anxious to meet and perhaps beat the highly vaunted SC team. We have prepared long and hard for this important debate and hope to give you a real fight.”
This afternoon’s debate is the first event of a full week of campus discussion of post-war plans which the Post-war forum of the ASSC war board is sponsoring. No admission will be charged and all are welcome to attend.
Ellis speaks at forum
“Colonies, Mandates, and ‘Backward’ Peoples in the World of Tomorrow” will be the subject of Dr. Leon H. Ellis, former member of the American legation in the Orient and professor of international relations at SC, when he speaks tomorrow in Bowne hall at 4:15 p.m. Joefore members of the Philosophy Forum.
Dr. Ellis has served with the American legations in China, Guatemala, San Salvadore, Hungary, Switzerland, and Costa Rica. Widely-travelled in China, he applied his background of eastern culture and experience to his work as professor of international relations at the University of Washington, Whitman college, and the University of Montana before coming to SC.
This meeting is one of the monthly series under the sponsorship of the Philosophy Forum.
Forensic meet to highlight week's events
Uniting representatives from five western states, the Pacific Forensic League will open their annual three-day convention on the SC campus tomorrow when delegates
from colleges in Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, and California will meet in the senate chambers to hold a series of four contests in oratory, extempore and after-dinner speaking, and discussion sequence.
Theme of the discussion sequence, feature of the convention, will be a formulation of America’s part in the post-war reconstruction. Forensic delegates will collaborate with campus groups in summarizing student opinion and will participate in special War Board discussion and radio workshop activities planned for this week.

Hindman condemns post-war pessimists
by Dr. Wilbert L. Hindman
Discussing the role of the United States in post-war reconstruction suggests the analogy of the theater. As the “angel” of this war for the United Nations, we can obtain a leading role in the post-war drama merely by asking for it. And we can also do a great deal to write our own lines.
But if we seek a part which is out
of character, and write our lines amateurishly, we can spoil the whole show.
Some people seem to be afraid that this is exactly what will happen. They believe we are the country cousin in world affairs, and that any appearance of ours on the post-war stage will be rustically hammy.
A great deal of the uncertainty which is felt about our place in
the future world stems from failure to perceive that America is uniquely prepared for the work that ls to be done. If the peace is to
amount to something, it must be % feat of political engineering. And no nation can match th? experience and success of the United States tn this field.
