“On the whole, we held our own in all debates and were superior in upper division debates,” said Fred Bowman, assistant debate coach.
The practice tournament, directed by Harold Owen of LAOC, was not “won” by any participating institution. It’s purpose is to provide every deoater with experience and constructive criticism.
The formal Oxford style of debate was used. Constructive speeches were allowed 10 minutes and rebuttals 5 minutes. There were four rounds of debates, so that each team twice argued both sides of the topic, “Resolved, that the United States should adopt a system of planned economy.”

It has been emphasized by Mc-lymonds that the plan is not uni-ersity-sponsored. but it is felt that he university administration is eeping a close eye on the poU ^sults as an indication of student eeling on the subject.
Preliminary counting after re-ipt of Friday’s questionnaires showed the following tally: Approval, 58.5 per cent; opposed. 39.5 per cent; no opinion. 2 per cent. Complete results of the poll, including the number of ballots cast or each side as well as percentage igures, will be published when the 11 closes. An analysis will aiso be

rorities in an effort to push the poll. According to Miss Peter, the women have made enthusiastic response to the project.

Dr. Gonzalez, introduced by Chancellor von KieinSmid, addressed the group in Spanish, and stressed the relationship existing between the United States and Panama today. He said he hopes the differences existing between the two countries regarding the Panama canal and military bases can soon be straightened out.

Vets' Checks Swamp Bank
by Don Hoeick
Veterans’ checks are a problem in more ways than one. Veterans have the problem of getting them, and banks have the problem of cashing them.
“We tried several ways of handling the large number of government ohecks,” said the assistant manager of a local bank. We had a special window for veterans during the first three days of each month. That didn't work because of bookkeeping difficulties.”
He said it is still an unsolved problem because of the “tremendous” amount of checks and lack of room in the bank.
“His troubles have only begun,” said a spokesman for the local Veterans’ administration. The VA official disclosed that only one-half of SC's veterans have received their ohecks since the beginning of the semester.
He said that probably only those who registered in the preregistration period or attended the Summer Session have received their checks by now.
Those students who registered in the regular registration period should have their checks by .Nov. 15, he said.
Next month bank managers' troubles will really begin. The VA office said that all SC veterans should get their checks by Dec. 1.
He will illustrate his lecture with the SC collection of Eugene O. Muiman transparencies.
This series of slides was painted by Murman after careful study of the birds in museum and zoo exhibits. They were then superimposed on photographs of authentic jungle backgrounds to produce the striking effects for which his slides are noted.
COLORFUL LOVERS
The birds of paradise comprise about 100 species of the most spectacular birds in the world, Mr. Stager explained. They occur only in New Guinea and adjacent islands and show great variation in color and size.
The Murman slides depict 37 species showing the complicated courtship procedure in which the males exhibit their brilliant plumage to the comparatively drab females.
UP IN AIR
Dr. Stager will exmbit two mounted specimens and a number of bird skins confiscated from piume sellers.
Such skins once gave rise to an interesting theory about the birds of paradise that Magellen’s men brought back from their round-the-world cruise. Scientists of the time, unaware that the feet had been cut off, announced the discovery of a brilliantly colored crea-tuie which by some supernatural means eternally hovered in the air.
Library Offers New Service
A new service to students using University library goes into effect today.
Students unable to get a book may now reserve it at the loan desk by filling out a self-addressed postcard. giving the call number, author, and title of the book.
When the desired book is returned, the card filled out the earliest is mailed to the reserver. The book will be held three days so the student will have time to pick it up.
In conjunction with this service is a display in the main hall of the University library of some of the most interesting books acquired by the library within the past month.
In the future, as a new book is catalogued, it will be displayed for one week to give students an opportunity to see what new books tne library has. Anyone wanting tc read a book on display may reserve it by filling out the self-addressed postcard at the loan desk.
Among catalogued books now on display are “Gandhi’s Autobiography,” “Ape and Essence,” Huxley; “The Goebbels Diaries,” Lochner; and a collection of stories given the O. Henry award for 1948.

burned two of his books.
The Nazis felt that the books “Ludwig Borne: Revolutionary and Patriot,” and “Heinrich Heine: A Life Between Yesterday and Tomorrow" expressed too democratic a philosophy.
LINGUISTIC PHILOSOPHER After this Dr. Marcuse lived in Fiance for six years. He came to the U.S. in 1939.
When he became a citizen in 1945, he joined the faculty of SC. He divides his time between the German department and the School of Philosophy.
He received his Ph.D. from the University of Berlin and then taught philosophy for several years at Humboldt university in that city.
For five years he was editor of a newspaper in Frankfort.
Speaking of his lecture. Dr. Marcuse stressed that it will concern the underlying philosophical principles of Marxism.
BOOKS CIRCULATE “I shall not talk about Soviet Russia or the Cominform,” he said, “but about one of the most influential philosophical theories of the last 100 years.”
Dr. Marcuse's writings are again being circulated in Germany. ‘'Plato and Dionysius: A Double Biography” was published last January.
Almost ready for publication in Germany is “Philosophies of Happiness: From Job to Freud.”
This lecture will be the third of five scheduled by the School of Philosophy this semester.
New' Lounge Male Fortress; Lacks Women
Senior Council Faces Camera
Buttons and bows and ties and coats will be the prescribed uniforms for members of the Senior Class council today.
Reason for the “dressy” dress Is the mugging of members for the EI Rodeo in 318 SU at 2:15.
Dave Saunders, class president, called for a 100 per cent turnout for the photographic session.
“One more thing,” he added, “tell them to bring money for their keys.”
We did.
The newly - redecorated student j lounge is still a man's paradise, j That fact became apparent in > the first few hours after the doors were opened for business, at 10:30 , Friday morning. A few women with | redecorative instincts poked their heads in the door to see what $35,-COO worth of the new look in interior facelifting could do, but by late afternoon only one or two had actually entered the male stronghold.
MEN TAKE OVER Even the beige and flesh-colored women's recreation room, off the west end of the main hall, was filled by male loungers. It was quite clear that a time-honored custom was not going to be erased overnight.
On duty each day from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at a new reception desk will be Mrs. Bernice Tiegs, whose duties include locating student officers, making appointments, arranging for students to pickup and leave messages, and dispensing varied information and directions.
Mrs. Tiegs said that clubs and organizations who wish to use the lounge facilities for meetings or dances must get bookings from Arnold Eddy's office. After the reception service is past its transitional stage, bookings will probably be made through Mrs. Tiegs.
BOOKINGS START To the Latin-American club went the honor of being the first group to use the lounge for a meeting. The club met Friday afternoon. The faculty men booked the main room for the first dance Saturday night.
Other early bookings assure the lounge a busy future. The Independent Students council and the Nisei Trojan club have already asked for use of the lounge for dances, and the Chinese students. Faculty Wives club. Faculty Women’s club, and the University College student body have procured the recreation rooms for meetings. Alpha Kappa Psi has even booked the hall for an iniation.
