'Peace Threat' Is Topic
Of British, UO Debate
“Kverv voting country is :t threat to world peace,” will he the
topic for debate when a team of British debaters from Cam
bridge university in h'ngland appear on the campus Monday
at 8 p.m. in the Student Union ballroom.
Peter ]ohn Mansfield of Pembroke college and Alistair 11 u
! bert Sampson of Selwyn col
i lege are the challengers in the
j international debate. The Brit
ish speakers have included the
United States in their defini
tion of "voting country" which
may place the debaters represent
ing the University in the position
of defending the American revo
lution.
Karl Harshbarger, junior in
speech, and Don Collin, senior in
economies, will take the negative
side of the question while the vis
itors uphold the proposition.
Debat ors ‘Entertaining’
“The British debaters have a
tradition of being entertaining as
well as informative,” Herman
Cohen, . director of forensics, in
! charge of the program, said. Co
! hen, during his owrr college debat
ing, had an opportunity to meet
the team from Oxford university.
Mansfield and Sampson are
making the annual tour of Brit
ish debaters sponsored by the In
stitute of International Education.
They are touring the Western
states while a second team meets
teams on the campuses of Eastern
universities.
The first British team to par
ticipate in this international pro

for a single appearance at Bates
college in Maine. Speakers are se
lected from Cambridge and Ox
ford for two out of every three
years and the third year are cho
sen from one of the British do
minions or a provincial college in
the British isles.
A pair of Australian debaters
appeared at the University last
spring and Edinburgh university
in Scotland was represented in
1950. No international debate was
scheduled for Oregon in the inter
vening year.
An exchange program was ini
tiated last year by the Institute
of International Education to send
■American debaters to England
and possibly India this year, Cohen j

YW Discusses
Group Purpose
At April Retreat
Unifying new YWCA members
around the purpose of the Chris
tian association was the theme of
the Y retreat held at Kitson
Springs April 3 and 4. The group
also made plans for next year’s Y
program.
The purpose of the YWCA,
evolved during the retreat, was:
"To realize as members of the
Y an opportunity to give service
as well as to receive it, to huve
an opportunity for a full and cre
ative life through a growing
knowledge of God and to have a
part helping to make this possible
for others."
The YWCA should build their
new program with this purpose in
mind, the group decided, and to
develop a well-rounded organiza
tion to meet the needs and Inter
ests of as many students as pos
; sible.
| The areas of worship, interna
I tional affairs, service, public af
| fairs, membership and promotion
I were discussed. Plans include:
1. The development of the area
of religious growth which will
; function as a group to bring to
I the students an opportunity to de
velop ideas in regard to religious
! philosophy.
2. A three-term freshmen pro
gram.
3. Specific programs for upper
I class students rather than a con
tinuous weekly program and to en
courage participation in already
established program areas.
4. Learn to understand the spe
j cific needs of the exchange stu
dent and to help him learn about
our country.
5. Attempt to make the pur
I pose of the YWCA clearer to the
| campus and to create a bt^tcr un
; derstanding of the Y program
among its members.
