Among the objectives of the club are encouraging and maintain- ing high scholastic standards among all varsity athletes, promoting interest in varsity activities among the student body with the combined support of the staff, faculty, and students, and uniting varsity award Winners in activities of mutual interest. The policy of the Host of lllini is to back, to the best of their ability, all school activities, such as pep rallies, dances, and student elections with the ultimate goal of increased school spirit and active interest in UlC's activities on the part of the majority of the students.

Debating at Navy Pier is considered an activity rather than a club. There are no officers and the team is under the supervision of a special faculty committee called the Forensic Council. This season the UIC team participated in dual debates, tournaments, and public debates on the campus. More than thirty students represented the University in these events, which brought the Pier into competition with almost every major university in the Midwest, Intercollegiate debating began in November with both decision and non-decision events. The first three tournaments were at Bradley, Kirlcsville State Teachers, and the Pier. The Pier tournaments, which brought thirty-six units from twenty-six colleges in six states saw UIC ties for sixth place. ln addition to debates of the traditional type, a number of events of varied nature were held. In November, four students took part in the state parliamentary debating in Springfeld, and in December, parliamentary debating was held in connection with UIC's own tournament. Throughout the year split-team debates on varied topics were conducted for the benefit of UIC students and faculty. Northwestern, Chicago, and Wheaton were the first three visiting colleges. Mr. C. A. Pitt, Assistant Director of Forensics, served as moderator. Members of the Forensic Council appointed by Dean C. C. Caveny were C. I. Michels, Mrs. Winifred B. Geldard, Irving Miller, Mrs. Mildred Finney, Miss Iune Richey, Mrs. Martha Denny, and Dr. Wayne N. Thompson. I , It z Ei is Explaining the Korean Situation. QDQACLFQ all s orendic I t 4 Row 1: W.
