Debate Council And Forum Focuses On The Social Sciences The Debate Council and Forum, which includes more cadets than any other single activity at West Point, is comprised of several orga- nizations that participate in and host trips, seminars, conferences and competitions in various fields of the social sciences. Led by MAJ Walker, Cadets Tom Schneider and Maritsa Olmeda-Saenz, DC F is made up of the Debate Team, the Student Con- ference on United States Affairs, the Finance Forum, the West Point Fo- rum, and the Domestic Affairs Fo- rum. Each particular organization meets regularly for seminars, prac- tices, and planning.
