DEBATE SHOWS SPECIAL TALENTS Debate, the art of competitive speaking, was practiced by four young men representing IVIANC this year in tournaments held at universities throughout the area. Guided by Jim lVlullins, coach of the team, and advised by lVlrs. Taylor, sponsor of the group, they have done well wherever they have gone. Each year a topic is chosen and all college debaters research and plan their strategies. This year's question is Resolved: That the Federal Government should adopt a program of compulsory wage and price control. The two teams, consisting of two debaters each, are assigned opposite sides. Each debater is given a chance to speak twice and is submitted to a period of questioning. lVluch credit should be given those who spend their time and energy in this enriching experience.
