EBATE - Championship of the Western Division of the Southern California Junior College Debate Conference tests with Long Beach as a re- sult of the season's forensic victories. At the beginning of the school year ten students turned out for the squad. Only two were experienced debaters. The group selected was composed of Ted Russell, cap- tain, Marion Henzler, manager, joe Anakin, Tom Vasey, Margaret O'Connor, Robert Goldman, Frank Maclntyre, Marie De Roch- ie, and Mary McMillan. Sam Gates was coach in all of the year's debate and oratorical work. The question used in all of the Western Division debates was, Resolved, Thar a na- tion with an advanced civilization is justified in forcing its civilization on an inferior people. In defeating Pasadena Junior College 2-1 on December 2, Ted Russell and Joseph Ana- kin accomplished a victory never before re- corded against the Pirate institution in a conference debate and one which was not duplicated this year. Frank Maclntyre and Bob Goldman de- feated Glendale 3-O on the same night, when they took the affirmative side of the question in their home auditorium. An unofficial debate with Compton re- sulted in an overwhelming victory for the Viking debaters. U. S. C. Frosh also suc- cumbed to the Black and White onslaught in a similar match. The second round of league debates found Long Beach pitted against Santa Ana and Fullerton. Both of these schools lost by 2-1 decisions to the Ted Russell-Joseph Anakin combination and that of Margaret O'Connor and Bob Goldman respectively. Because of its victory in the Western Di- vision, Long Beach was destined to meet Cit- rus Junior College in a dual debate for the championship of Southern California. De- fending the affirmative of Resolved, That the present interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine as applied by the United States should be condemned, Miss O'Connor and Joe Anakin defeated Citrus 2-1. Ted Rus- sell and Tom Vasey lost by the same verdict at Citrus. Robert Dickinson represented the Vikings in the Southern California junior College Or-- atorical Contest, placing fourth in a group of ten contestants.
