Raymond L. Nichols, Lawrence senior and recent winner of a Rhodes scholarship, will leave for England Tuesday, although he will not begin his studies at Oxford University until October.
Authorized Agents for
British Debates
Nichols will be making two trips to Great Britain within the next nine months. The first begins Tuesday when he leaves to represent the United States against Great Britain on a two-man debate team.
He will fly from Kansas City, Mo., to New York and will sail for England Jan. 21 on the Queen Mary. Before leaving the U. S one day will be spent on briefing by representatives of the Institute of International Education, one of the sponsors of the trip. Other sponsors are the American Speech Association and the English Speaking Union.
In England he will engage in five debates a week for three months.
Nichols will return to the campus in May to finish up a few requirements and walk down the hill in the traditional cap and gown ceremony.

Nichols to Debate in England Before Starting at Oxford
"I'm due at Oxford Oct. 9. That gives me the summer to get a good supply of clean laundry," Nichols said.
"I haven't really had time for it to sink in yet. I've been busy taking finals in preparation for the debate trip to Great Britain.
About Rhodes Scholarships Concerning his receiving the Rhodes scholarship, Nichols commented:
"After I finish my finals, I'll sit down and relax for two days, and then I'll be off for England. The purpose of the trip is to stimulate good Anglo-American relations, gain good practical experience in debating and show the English what American students are like."
While attending KU Nichols has carried a double major, Political Science and History. A winner of
many forensic prizes, he has been a member of the KU debate team and placed second last year at the West Point nationals. He is a member of Sigma Chi social fraternity.
Hopes to Meet Other Americans
"One of the things I look forward to." he said, "is the chance to meet other American students who are studying at Oxford. Among them are Jim Pray of West Point who finished first in the West Point nationals, and David Ontjes, a KU graduate of last year, both Rhodes scholars."
He also had some comments to make on the lighter side of life at Oxford
"I look forward to being in the stands paulding Pete Dawkins playing rugby," Nichols said.
Agility Required
"In addition to studies I understand some agility is required to climb over walls when returning late in the evening after the gates are locked."
Nichols' activities at KU include Sachem, Owl Society, president of the political science fraternity Pi Sigma Alpha, vice-president of the history fraternity Phi Alpha Theta, membership in the All Student Council and the holder of the Hilden Gibson award for his studies in the Political Science field.
"I feel that the whole western world is approaching a crisis. Everyone must give his best abilities. We can only maintain freedom in our mass culture if we have knowledge. So I am seeking education to try do something about it either in active politics or academic work." he said.
"The Oxford system places more emphasis on the individual. It is assumed you are interested in what you are studying." Nichols said.
He will enroll in the division of Philosophy, Political Science and Economics. His major will be Political Theory.
