Another encouraging ' £9 factor was tlie support of the student body which has far surpassed that shown heretofore. The administration has also aided debating by placing it in the college curriculum and gi ing college credit to those who desire it. The subject chosen by the W est Virginia Forensic Association was, Resoh ' ed, The United States should substitute for its departments of War and Nav ' a unified department of National Defense. This subject was chosen onl - b - the West ' ir- ginia Association and therefore the schedule was limited to the annual triangular contest between West X ' irginia Wesle ' an, Salem and Bethanv. The negative team cfebated Wesleyan at Buchannon and the affirmative engaged Salem at Bethanv. A new system of debating was inaugurated. The no-decision method was em- plo ' ed as an experiment. While this eliminates much of the spirit of contest it aided greatls in bringing out the facts of the question.
