1- xklV'vx,,1, -V, DEBATE The 1932 debate season came to a successful close at York on March 31. Miles Eloe was the only debator of experience who re- ported this year. Handicapped by this lack of experienced material, the debate squad under the able tutelage of Miss Gleason hung up a record of seven victories and four defeats, The debate question this year was: Resolved That The Several States Should Enact Legislation Providing for Compulsory Un- employment Insurance. After a thorough study of the question, debate tryouts were held. Claude Otto, Miles Eloe, Irvin Lewis and Robert Weber were chosen as the first four. Charles Wood- ford was chosen as a second al- ternare. Following a few practice de- bates with Grand Island and Fullerton, the team composed of Otto, Weber, Lewis and Wood- ford went to the Hastings College Tournament which was held the 10, ll, 12 of March. After com- ing through the first four rounds undefeated, Aurora was eliminat- ed in the finals by Holdrege and Geneva. The teams which Auro- ra defeated were Benkleman, Doniphan, Kenesaw, and Raven- na. These were by unanimous de- cisions. In the league debates Au- rora took the first decision from Osceola. Aurora had the affirm- ative and was represented by Weber, Woodford and Lewis. Aurora then proceeded to take two unanimous decision from Doniphan. Aurora was represent- ed by the Eloe, Otto, Lewis com- bination in both debates. This same team, debating the negative then dropped a close decision to Osceola, 2 to 1. As both Osceo- la and Aurora had won three de- bates and lost one, it was neces- sary for a debate to be held to de- cide the championship. This was held at York with Aurora up- holding the negative. A close 2 to I decision was given to Osceo- la. The Aurora team in this de- bate was made up of Eloe, Om, and Lewis, who spoke in the order named. This was the team which bore most of the responsibility this year, Aurora will suffer a loss this year in the graduation of Eloe and Lewis but with three members back next year we are looking forward to a successful season. -. - -... -..-W ,... ,..,, - .....,..L-- c ..
