Debating S.A.C. On Friday, November 22, a strong S.A.C. debating team arrived to support the resolution that “Stricter Gun Legislation Should Be Implemented In Canada.” For our third Fulford Cup League debate, we pitted Hugh Sisley, Alain Wilson, and, as Leader of the Opposition, Colin Brown, against them. The three well drill- ed members of the Government each presented strong, well defined arguments, and clearly got their points across to a large, restless house. Hugh Sisley led off for T.C.S., outlining the Opposition’s case and presenting the first installment of the j three part argument. Our second speaker, Alain Wilson, gave a jaunty, humourous rebuttal to the Govern- j ment’s second speaker. He followed up with a strong, well illustrated speech which clearly earned the sup- port of the house. Colin Brown then rose to deliver an excellent oration in which he cleverly combined skill | in speaking with an ability to “carry” the audience. However, the judges decided that S.A.C. had won the debate, thus putting T.C.S. down to defeat for the j first time in over two years in Fulford Cup competition. The Prime Minister was chosen Best Speaker, and j Alain Wilson was chosen Best Speaker on the Opposition. Appleby On Saturday November 9th, three debaters took their lives in their hands, when they drove to Appleby with Mr. Lawson. It was Appleby’s annual debating tournament, based on the resolution that “This House Sup- ports Bill 22.” Each debater debated both sides of the resolution in the cross-examination format. The three debaters, Jim Cameron, Tim Brown, and Ted Byers, had a hard time supporting a bill that the Canadian people hadn’t taken too kindly to, but had numerous arguments for the Opposition. Ted Byers made it to the finals, and embarrassed us all as usual, by upsetting the house. Tim Brown, and Jim Cameron, although they] bombarded their opponents with explosive arguments, weren’t chosen for the finals. It might be noted, how- ever, that Jim had a fine time at the dance that night. 24
