Though formerly a constituent of Toastmasters International, the Advocates this year decided to declare autonomy, which has served them well. Their weekly meetings take place over lunch in the Faculty Dining Room every Tuesday. The membership of twenty-three includes both master and tyro, but all take turns at the rostrum. The audience tries the mettle of its orators with challenging assignments: the improptu speech is the supreme test, from which only the nimble wit and agile tounge emerge unscathed. Advocates takes very seriously its task of turning each member into a more than competent public speaker,but it believes, just as firmly, in having a good time at it. Adepts are called to t grand, exalted office of Toastmaster, a position of temporary b absolute omnipotence. Two of the present members are Busine Administration students who cross Tappan each week and no dou fuel the repartee. Once a term, there is a dinner at which select young wom may be present on invitation. The Advocates' prospectus is elementalg talking, done wel is not only an entertaining diversion but also lays up against bright future in a loquacious profession.

WINNER OF TI-IE 1965 WURLITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION 1 RES GESTAE Each week, more or less, weary standees in the lunch line refresh themselves by pursuing a brisk, but pithy, edition of RES GESTAE, There, to ponder over, are the followups on Arboga Tech's phenomenal football triumphsg the resume of a lecture or twog irate letters from crochety seniorsg and more, sober or not, according to the whimsical fancy of Editor Roger Marce. The regular features, Freshman Briefs, Quadsville Quotes, and From The Editor's Wastebasket lead the credulous eye of the newly matriculated on to the hallowed by-line of Hadley V. Baxen- dale, replete with associations. The editorial policy has drawn numerous accolades for courage- ous and uncompromising opposition to quite a number of things, calling to mind the proud early days of McCall's. Readers may be assured of animated reportage and discerning analysis of all issues, as well as of tastefully incisive commentary. Little that transpires in the Law School escapes its day in the dock of RES GESTAE. deft to rightl: Steve Petrix, Roger Marce, Rosemary Pooler, Art Delumba 43
