Debate Tournament Schedules 32 Teams
Debate teams from all parts of the country will be at KU March 12-14 to participate in the "Heart of America" Debate Conference.
Thirty-two teams from 20 schools have registered for the three-day tournament to take place in the Kansas Union.
"THIS TOURAMENT draws some of the nation's finest teams," David Fractenberg, assistant instructor in speech and drama, and director of the tournament, said. "A large number of the teams that have participated here have ultimately won the right to compete in the national debate championship at West Point."
The topic to be used is the national collegiate debate question "Resolved: that the federal government should guarantee an opportunity for higher education to all qualified high school graduates."
DEBATES WILL BE conducted according to collegiate debate rules. Team numbers will be drawn and matched on Thursday morning in the Main Lobby of the Kansas Union.
Teams to compete will include: Baylor University, Brigham Young University, Dartmouth College, Kansas State University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Southern Illinois University, Minnesota University, Northwestern University, Ohio State University, University of Southern California, and Uniter States Air Force Academy.
The rounds will be one hour in

NEW YORK—(UPI)—Litter has become a huge problem in the United States, according to Keep America Beautiful, the national litter-prevention agency. In New York City alone three million tons of litter are collected each year-enough to fill the Empire State Building 15 times
length with each team having 20 minutes of constructive speeches and 10 minutes of rebuttal.
The duty of the affirmative team is to attack the status quo in the area of the debate topic. All assertions by the affirmative must be substantiated by evidence. After the affirmative has established a "need." they must provide a plan which they feel will alleviate the problems.
The duty of the negative team is to prove through the use of evidence and logic that the "need" issue of the affirmative team does not exist, or that it is not great enough to warrant a change from the present system.
Petitions for student body president, vice president, ASC council seats and all class offices are due March 16, announced Dick King, Kansas City sophomore and ASC elections committee chairman. These petitions may be picked up in the Dean of Students' office.
March 16 Deadline Student Criticism Solicited For ASC Petitions
For those who are running without a party affiliation, it is necessary to obtain 50 signatures for a class office and 150 for a council seat. The only exception is if 40 per cent of an applicant's school is less than 150. "In this case," said King, "40 per cent of the total paid registration is necessary."
Preparations for the ASC election on April 1 and 2 have been underway for approximately two weeks by the elections committee.

In the past professors have criticized policies of the university; but it appears now students are to have a chance to voice their opinions.
On the suggestion of George R. Waggoner, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the Philosophical Bases of Absolutely Everything (PBOAE) is sponsoring a drive for letters of criticism about educational policies at KU.
Students are asked to submit criticisms in specific but not detailed form.
From the letters received, four or five will be selected and the authors will be asked to participate in a PBOAE lecture to which members of the faculty will be invited.
Letters may be left in the Student Union Activities office or sent to Donald Igelsrud, Room 441, 1122 West Campus Rd., Lawrence.
The selection will be made in April.
