Debaters ' Forum i Leo J. Bartoline Director Through the fine cooperation of the students, faculty and alumni association, the Forum has been uninterruptedly broadcast for over two years. The program consists of round table discussions on topics pertaining to law, debates with other schools and universities throughout Illinois and surrounding states and talks by members of the faculty and alumni association. Through the generous help of Benjamin J. Kanter, i7, the Debaters ' Forum has had a choice spot on the air. His counsel on cen- soring the speeches has been of great impor- tance to the welfare of the program. The comments from the audience have been helpful because they point out the errors in grammar, pronunciation and logic. Their ques ' tions, problems and interesting letters have re- paid the participants for all the time and effort put into this activity. The letters range from direct proposals on how to save our country to interesting sidelights on what is wrong with everything in general, including the speaker. As an extra-curricular activity, the Debaters ' Forum presents one of the best methods of telling the world what the speaker has on his mind, although tact must be used. The speak- ers who have cooperated in the program feel that the experience and thrill of broadcasting have been sufficient to make them desirous of participating. Future debaters may anticipate a new sensation when the Program Chairman, Leo J. Bartoline announces, The Debaters ' Forum is on the Air. Page Seventy-nine
