2,000 TURN OUT FOR DEBATE: This is part of the crowd of more than 2,000 persons who gathered outside a State St. cafeteria last nigh in their attempts to hear an off-campus debate, Communism versus Capitalism, between Prof. Preston W. Slosson, and admitted Communist Dr. Herbert J. Phillips. Only 200 persons were able to hear the actual debate, however, because of a fire inspector's ruling limiting occupancy of the building to that number.
