Gould, Konigsberg i Clash With UCLA Team v: In No-decision Match
' Troy’s ace debating Maurice Gould and
duo, Eph
Konigsberg, swapped verbal thrusts with UCLA’s team, Eric Julbar and Frank Man-kiewicz, last night in Bovard auditorium on the theme of •“Free Trade,” with Prof. Milton Dickens of the speech faculty as the moderator.
The debate tangle was unique in that no panel of Judges were present to render a decision.
“This debate has stressed the content of the vital subject of Free Trade and has subordinated the contest element in order to reveal ft more complete argument,” Dickens conclude i.
The big voices on .the local debate team. Eph Elonigsberg and Maurice Gould, uphed the affirmative ends of the national debate question. “Resolved, that the policy of the United States should be directed toward the establishment of free trade amon;j tht nations of the world.”
Westwood debaters upholding the negative sice of the proposition were Erio Julbert and Frank Manckiewicz
In present ng the affirmative side of the issue, Gould based his case on two main points. First that free trade would raise the standard of living of the peoples of the world, and secondly that free trade would «pur economic activity.
Eph Konigsberg, stressing the second main issue of the proposition. maintained that free trade would eliminate the threat to world peace and would promote political stability, and that free trade would Icounteract economic nationalism.
In presenting their case Gould land Konigsberg pleaded that world economic problems should be at-
When students finish voting, they should fold their ballots no that the bottom of the ballot touches the dark line at the top. Ballot* should be folded only once, and all ballots, regardless of how many the student receives, should be folded together.
Interest was centered mainly on the three-cornered race for student body president in which Dick Gilson, Jim Mitchell and Frank Snyder are seeking election.
RALLY HELD
In a stirring political rally on fraternity row Wednesday night, the three candidates made a last-minute appeal for support. Before an enthusiastic audience the three men gave short talks on policies, following which, questions were flung at them from the crowd.
Students wno are registered in the School of Music, but who have LAS on their student body identification cards, may vote for officers in their school by having their cards verified by Mary Ellen Med-ler today in 3A Music or in tbe Music office.
VOTING SMOOTH
Yesterday's activities at the polls, under the direction of Kotler and his assistants, including Bill Stella Ginny Brumfield, Jane Lutz, and William McElroy, were conducted smoothly. The voting booths, on-the main walk from Bovard auditorium to University avenue, were patronized steadily throughout the day. Every precaution is being taken to insure against irregularities in voting procedure.
For the 2000 registered voters who have yet to cast their ballots, Kotler once again outlined the procedure. Student body cards and blue registration slips must be presented to enter the area. At the appropriate table inside, the voter will sign his name and be given his ballot. After marking the ballot in^ one of the voting booths, the voter will deposit it in the box and leave by the Bovard exit.
