DEBATERS WIN SECOND PLACE

Recruits Perform Creditably At LaCrosse Tournanient

'l'h e debate teams of C. S. T. C. started the season in fine shape last. week when they won second place in the first-round tourna­ment at La Crosse. 'rhe five Point teams who partici,pated won sev­en, tied one and lo t four, •besides participating in several non-deci­sion debates.

Another factor which shows up well is the fact that Luther Col­lege of Decorah, Iowa, winner of nine ·out of twelve debates and ranked first, suffered two of their three defeats to Point teams.

Five Schools Participate· The s ch o o I s '!)articipating

in the tournament were: Lu ther College, River Falls, Eau Claire, La Crosse and Stevens Point. The object of the contests was to gain experience ancl exchange ideas about the ques tion in preparation for the state tournament at Eau Claire in February. In addition to t he debates, a round table con­ference was held Saturday morn­ing to e:scpre s views · on several phases of the questioin. The pro­position for debate this year is "ResolYed, that the nations should agree to prevent the inter­national shipment of arms and munitions."

Just Eight More Days

Once upon a t ime (somebody sug­gested that we start it with some­thing original) a handsome gentle­man of C S. T. C. met a charming girl in a 2 :10 Biology Lab. They became well acquainted during the r est of the period, and had even r eached the first name stage by 3 :05. Altogether, they were quite pleased with each other. That evening, the aforementioned Romeo found that he was not very busy, and he much wanted a date. Who would be better than his new friend of the Lab. period Y No one, he decided; but how to find her - that was the problem. All he knew was her name. Conse­quently, he stayed home and thought about what a nice tim~ he might have had . Too Bad.

rough as Alumni games always are. Our college five looked "'Ood at times, •but there were defects we can 't overlook.

These flaws can pos­sibly be overcome by more prac­tice games.

The local theatre presents a monop<>lY. and it is only natural for us to assume that the rate of admi ·sion will be as high as the "traffic" will bear . However, as long as there is a r i k assumed and ca pital at stake we must allow .for a reasonable '[Jrofit.

One hears remarks like these frequently : " If I had the money I 'd go to the show" ; " If it didn't cost so much we could take in a ' movie' "; " If it cost only a quar­ter a,.pie~we could go, but the way it is, if a fellow takes a girl to the show it means eighty cents and if we eat a~erwards that 's at least thirty cents more " . Because of phrases like that, which are not uncommon, we believe that if the price of admission were lowered to college students upon display cif their activity tickets, the re­turns to the theatre would in­crease rather than decrease, be­-0ause of a larger attendance.

There is no need to say that such an action would be accepted with favor by the students of this college. It eould breed nothing but good will between the t1Yo groups.

We are mindful of the fact that the management of the local Fox Theat1·e does occa ionally giYe ath letes passes and does distribute t ickets through The Pointer. We are aware, too, that local organi­zatfons are. gil'en an opportunity to benefit •by "sponsoring" shows. \Ve would not for a minute at­tempt to paint a picture showing only one side. -----

If a lower rate is to be a reality, then some organized, calm, sen­sible, broad minded action is ne­cessary. This column thinks the group to take the initiative is the Greek Council. It presents the only chance for unified action among a large bloc of. students. Individuals can do nbthing - or­ganized backing of many is ne­cessary.

The thing to do is to go down and talk this matter OYer with the local manager in a spirit of friendliness. An attitude of bellig­erency would (at least, might) de­feat its own end. We should not hasten to conc lusions without knowing both ides <?f the subject.

If by any chance the local authorities feel that we have treated them unfairly in any way we offer them this space to right any wrong impression we may
