DEBATES PLAN TO STIR FALL POLITICAL FIRES

FIRST DEBATE STARTS TRIALS FOR UNION MEMBERSHIP

In the first meeting of the year, held yesterday afternoon in the Harvard Union, the Debating Union laid plans for an extensive fall program. Those attending the meeting were L. T. Grimm '29, ex-president, E. A. Morley '29, president, F. C. Harrier '29, secretary-treasurer, and M. C. Baer '31.

The principle object of the Union's activities this fall will be to stir up interest in the coming political campaign. On election night especially a busy program has been arranged. Open house will be held at the Harvard Union and a special wire has been strung to enable listeners to secure the election results. Neal O'Hara '15, of the Boston Herald, has promised his services as announcer. At 12 o'clock pictures of the Tunney-Heeney fight will be shown and refreshments are to be served.

As a prelude to the evening of November sixth the Debating Union is also arranging several affairs during October. A debate to be held near the middle of the month will serve to evoke undergraduate opinion. It will be attended by prominent representatives of both political parties.

The competition for the Debating Union will start early in October at the time of the first debate, the date of which will be announced later.
