TO THE EDITOR:
Seniors with speaking skills, pay attention!
The Mangum Medal Competition is a historical speech competition for best orator of the senior class, hosted by the Dialectic and Philanthropic Societies every spring semester. Started in 1877, this is UNC’s oldest Chancellor’s Award, given in memory of Willie P. Mangum. The winner will receive the medal and participate in the Chancellor’s Award ceremony.
This year’s competition will be held on March 1 at 5:30 p.m. at the top of New West.
This year’s prompt is:
“The best thing about graduating from the university was that I finally had time to sit on a log and read a good book.” — Edward Abbey
Has university brought you freedom or constraint? Why? Have you benefitted from either?
Please get in contact with the Dialectic and Philanthropic Societies before Feb. 26 if you intend on participating: diphi.web.unc.edu/contact
