The series of debates, carried out under the direction of Emil Hubka of the English Dept., mark ed the first such activities on the A&M campus since the war cut short all forensic competition. Rep resenting A&M were Cotton Howell Charles Kirkham, John Regan, James Hipp, Tom Cruz and Andrew Shepherd. Debaters from Texas in cluded, Tommy Tayolr, Jack Mc Clain, Jack Onion, Harry Rosen- 1 berg, Oury L. Selig and William H. Darden.' Howell and Kirkham debated against Selig and Darxlen in the windup of the day’s sessions last night in the Assembly Room of the YMCA with the latter sqUad gaining the judges’ decision. The Texas team, taking the af firmative side of the issue, called for a “stronger international agency” than the present United Nations Organization. Darden as serted that the “U. N. is only a shield behind' which Russia has operated to carry out her program, of expansion. The U. N. has failed; we must turn to something else.” Howell attacked that “something else” (the proposed Federal Gov ernment) on the basis that the na tions of the world particularly Russia would not join such an or ganization. “We would have in effect a federation not of the world but of thw democracies al»' lied against the forces of Com munism,” Howell said. Kirkham said the U. N. “with proper changes in its present ma chinery, would go further in keep ing the peace than a Federation of the World. Let’s keep U. N. with Russia and the U. S. in the same organization rather than form a government which will split the two,” Kirkham said. Dr. G. B. Wilcox, head of the De partment of Education and Psy chology, and Dr. C. fW.
