investigate lehigh's former houseparties the plans and ideas on which other schools houseparties are based and to sug gest some theme that might be used to individualize lehigh houseparties and at the

tem of united states governmen tal planning as fostered by the present economic planners is ini mical to the system of individual enterprise upon which the foun dation of our country as a capital istic nation was built the topic for this debate was suggested by a controversial book entitled the road to serfdom by friedrich hayek dr hayek's book dealing with the dangers of socialism in the united states has created quite a stir since its pub lication socialist and communist leaders have vigorously condemn ed the book as being unduly alarmist and creating a false pic ture businessmen and other ad herents to the system of free en terprise have praised the book as a timely warning of what will hap pen in the future if socialist and communist practices are permitted to continue unchecked dr hayek states in his book that socialist economic planning is not necessary even with the growing complexity of civilization and by accepting socialism we would be accepting the very form of life that we are fighting to destroy the debate on friday will be a departure from the usual style of debate with rebuttal speeches and a decision rendered by judges in stead the affirmative speakers will be criticized by a critic appointed for that purpose and the negative speakers by a critic the chairman for the debate will be prof her bert diamond of the economics de partment and the critics will
