favored by 75 of the people contends professor holme the largest percentage of the small amount of opposition is a result of misinformation and ignorance of the true provisions of umt professor sutherland maintains that under the guise of a demo cratic educational movement key ed in with national defense the militarists of this country are ad vocating universal military train ing a plan which if put into force it seems certain would ser iously undermine the foundations of our democratic social order and prelude the beginning of a mili tarized authoritarian regime umt is urged as a

world federation lehigh university defeated temple university in the first in tercollegiate debate of the season held tuesday nov 11 in christ mas-saucon hall the topic under discussion was there should be a world feder ation the affirmative was up held by robert mertz 48 and robert polstein 48 members of lehigh's debating team while ir ving kuhr and larry dantonio of temple argued for the negative prof raymond cowherd of the history department judged the contest the first affirmative speaker was bob polstein who contested that the atomic bomb has left the world in a state where no military de fenses are worthwhile and there fore wars must be eliminated he stated that as yet the united na tions has accomplished nothing more in this direction than did the leagues and confederations of the past now is the time for a world federation to be instituted as there are enough nations ready and willing to join said polstein irving kuhr the first speaker for temple pointed out that such a system of world government would deprive the member nations of their sovereignty he asserted that there was no common basis for establishing such a system be cause of differences in language culture economies and political forms of government in addition he said that exponents of federa tion would have to show that it will prevent war world federation best hope bob mertz the second speaker for lehigh raised the point that historic evolution will eventually bring about world federation since nearly everything else has been tried and has failed he said that world federation is the best hope at this time and went on to out line a list of functions and powers that would be entrusted to such an organization finally he declared that we must not take the attitude that some nations such as russia would not join the final speech of the evening was given by larry dantonio who argued that we live in a real not theoretical world and that if world federation was in the offer ing it would have been instituted at the san francisco conference he said that such a system requires that every nation be a member and this could not be effected following the formel speeches each participant gave an unpre pared rebuttal professor cow herd awarded the decision to le high by a count of 27 to 32 low score winning some of the points of comparison were conduct fam iliarity content

grace hall was covered with black veiling interlaced with stars to represent an evening sky many couples not satisfied with this ef fect enjoyed the real sky from the balcony of grace hall music played by the bands was in an en joyable soft romantic mood as compared to the faster tempos of previous years this was in keep ing with the general trend of mu sic of the day idc holds breakfast following the formal dance in terdormitory council sponsored a breakfast which also proved to have the best attendance since pre-war days fraternity houses all had private parties or break fasts despite the obstacle of the weather the team added glory to the weekend by presenting lehigh with a 20-6 victory over king's point saturday afternoon's football game added variety to the week end with what looked like a heavy rainfall luckily enough the rain stopped just before game time and consequently the turnout for the afternon wasn't nearly as bad as was expected though having been exposed to the storm all afternoon the party goers still had enough stamina left to make the parties and dances scheduled for saturday evening successes comparable to the fri day night formal the wet frozen crowd changed to a jolly gay group again as they attended the various affairs about the campus in general it may be said that this houseparty brought lehigh parties back to pre-war standard this can be deduced from the af ter effects all during this week the interdormitory council sponsored a dance at grace hall on saturday night where music was supplied in a slow mood by ken keely the attendance was indeed gratifying though keely's contract expired at 12 o'clock he agreed to play until 12:30 a.m when he noticed that the majority of the crowd started to get their wraps at midnight and caused a
