Popular Debate Series Opens Wednesday Night
This Wednesday night the KU-Y will hold the first English-Style Debate of the semester in the Kansas Union.
The English-Style Debate was originated at Oxford and Cambridge. It differs mainly from the debate style of most high schools and colleges in the United States in that it presents a more relaxed atmosphere for both the debaters and the audience.

As the audience enters the room they will see a sign toward the front. The sign signifies which side of the room will be used by the prodebaters and which side is the opposition.
THE AUDIENCE is expected to align itself according to preconceived ideas on the subject that is being debated.
However, during the debate, the audience may change sides if they change their minds.
To keep the debate on a light atmosphere, the debaters are encouraged to use humor, and make witty remarks to prove a point.
AT THE END of the debate, there is an initial statement and a rebuttal. After this time the audience may make any remarks deemed necessary to the subject.
"Last year we had one very amusing speech by a member of the audience," said Tom Moore, executive secretary of the KU-Y. "It occurred at a debate on 'abortions'. A wife of one of the professors on campus who was pregnant at the time brought down the house with some of her comments."

4. You should be celebrating not brooding.
The age of responsibility is upon me.

With America's 1980 water needs predicted at 600 billion gallons a day (twice present volume), G.E. can report progress in its salt-water-conversion program. Its thin-film distillation method now produces water purity to within one part salt per million parts water. FORECAST: You may be drinking "brush" salt water sooner than you think.

Industrial designers are excited about a quat advance in lubricants from G-E research. Aluminum, though popular with metal fabricators, has always been tough to lubricate. A new family of lubricants now developed has friction coefficients about 1/5 those of conventional lubricants. This produces an affinity for aluminum which assures a wear-resistant film that adheres to the surface.
