With Don Monro probing affairs, both international (Will There Be A War Over Burlesque) and other- wise and Jim Morwick defending Skulemen, Robert Morris was diligently exposing the life I story of Professor Archibald Von Heindrich- | Schmidt. All this was brewing while Stewart Mc- Gowan was out selling ads, Ernie Wilson was out covering sports, and Jim de la Plante was just plain out. Meanwhile Roly Ridler, the Bearded Prophet and the Toike Oike ' s most proficient and only) war correspondent was following the tracks of the B.F.C. and the L.G.M.B. In the background Sean O ' Neill, Merv Graf, Robert Russell, Bob Dickey and Richard Kerekes were out scooping the Varsity and turning out pub- licity for the Engineering Society executive by the cubic yard. At the same time Merv Graf and Dave Muir were out snapping pix and Richard Hayman remained at his Devonshire pad drawing the best cartoons on campus. With so many people, the Toike Oike staff could hardly be called an In Group. Page 17

DEBATES CLUB This year the Debates Club is enjoying one of the most active years in it ' s history. With an optimistic policy of one debate a week, tempered with a traditionalist aspect (we debate whenever we feel like it) the club has produced several notable wrangles. In spite of the Club ' s invar- iably small membership, those who have debated have demonstrated more than their share of enthusiasm. At the time of writing the club is right in the middle of its schedule. Up to date, the Engineers have debated among themselves whether Engi- neers are failures as University Students , and have decided that they are not; have defeated Trinity on the topic Charlie Brown should be our next Governor-General but have lost to St. Hilda ' s who admittedly combined six appeal with logic on the proposition Engineers need more culture . In the debate with St. Mikes on the resolution This house wishes the world were flat, Skulemen were prepared to go to the ends of the Earth to defend their topic if they didn ' t fall off first, but nevertheless were defeated by the Irish. In the debate with Nursing, John Brant and Barry Patchett resorted to biology, a subject with which both sides seemed to be dis- turbingly familiar, to battle to an even draw on i Equality of Sexes is a myth . Probably the most stimulating debate of the year was provided by U.C. who, alarmed at the intensity of the I criticism of CUCND from Engineering quarters | decided to take Skulemen to task for their ignor- ance by permitting them to argue that The Ban 11 the Bombers should get out of their Ivory Tower. In a stormy debate in which both sides drew thunderous applause from the House, the Engi- neers triumphed with a narrow margin of votes. | Next term, as well as a heavy schedule of its (| own, the club hopes to sponsor a professor ' s debate. » The Engineering Debates Club promises to be the most active force in the University of To- ronto Debating Union, a body which promotes ■ debating on campus. There are a few competent jl debating clubs on campus; most of them, how- ever, prefer to debate within their own ranks. The Engineering Debates Club, on the other (I hand, believes that a policy of debating as widely as it can will stimulate smaller colleges to form their own debating Club. With this enthusiastic outlook, the Club promises one of its strongest 1 ] years. Page 16
