Debating P ' lHE question for debate by the Junior College Conference this SR year was, Resolved : That the United States should immediately recognize the Soviet government of Russia . In addition to this topic the team debated the question Resolved: That the United States should cancel the War Debts . Both questions proved to be very popular. Beginning the season with two veterans, Paul Belknap and Paul Harvey, the team was strengthened by the addition of Robert Friers, James Finkbeiner, John Richardson, and Ira Butterfield. The season was opened on February 14th with a debate between Bay City ' s nega- tive team and the affirmative team from Port Huron J. C. Richardson and Finkbeiner made up Bay City ' s team. Belknap and Friers defended the affirmative side of the Russian question against the negative team from Port Huron in an unofficial encounter. The team made its first trip on February 24th, at which time they met the teams from Jackson and Spring Arbor colleges. In the after- noon Bay City met the team from Jackson in a scheduled debate, and in the evening the teams met Spring Arbor. The next engagement was at home against Highland Park J. C. Harvey and Butterfield defended the affirmative in the official contest, directly after which the locals defended the negative side in an un- official tilt against the team from Highland Park. This was the occasion of introducing the Oregon style of debating to J. C. The teams made a quick trip to Flint where Belknap and Harvey met the negative from there and won the only judged debate of the season. Friers and Fink- beiner met the affirmative team in an unofficial contest at the same time. The debating season was closed by an over-night trip to Muske- gon and Grand Rapids. Bay City defended the affirmative in the official debates in both cities. According to our debate coach, Mr. Klingbeil, Jaycee ' s team this year has had one of the most successful seasons in the history of the college. [21]
