CB.A. DEBATING The CB.A. Debating Society works with freshmen and sophomores in that school and strives to develop the poise and language facility necessary for effective public speaking, while adding to this the abilities particularly empha- sized in debating— a quick and accurate handling of pertinent fact and argument together with a delivery that is both compelling and interesting. Debates are on a variety of topics on the intra- mural level; any who desire to further enrich their experience with intercollegiate competition are encouraged to graduate to the Fulton Society. The CB.A. Debaters in T formation. CB.A. NEWSLETTER The CB.A. Newsletter was founded in the fall of 1961 as a direct line of com- munication between the Student Senate and the members of that school. Now in its second year of publication, the newsletter has concentrated on dis- seminating the minutes of Student Sen- ate meetings and alerting all students to the progress and programs offered by various activities within the College of Business Administration. Occasionally announcement is made of special events pertinent to the school. The publication of a concise appraisal of upper division elective courses made by the Student Senate was a noteworthy and original effort.

ACCOUNTING ACADEMY The Accounting Academy has as its purpose the development of a professional attitude toward accounting as a career. It also attempts to instill in its members the high regard for business ethics so necessary to the successful accountant. On a more practical level, it attempts to help the members to acquire an understanding of the current problems in the field of accounting and in business in general. The program by which the academy hopes to achieve these goals includes group discussions among its members and lectures by prominent businessmen and practicing accountants. 256

C. B. A. TOASTMASTERS Dale Carnegie recommends it, successful businessmen know its value, and the C. B. A. Toastmast- ers provide instruction and practice in the art of self-expression. Mixing a blend of prepared speeches and extemporaneous talks, the Toast- masters run the full gamut of pub- lic speaking, but concentration re- mains centered on the impromptu presentation, aimed at developing a man who is at home on his feet, ready always to state and argue his ideas and beliefs. President: James Sullivan SOCIETY FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF MANAGEMENT Since 1912 the Society for the Advancement of Management has been a professional organization of national prominence. It is not limited to students and is, in fact, primarily composed of managers in industry, commerce, government, and education dedicated to fostering and ad- vancing management men, principles, and policies. A major, though indirect, triumph for the society has taken place in the awarding of Dean ' s Letters in the College of Business Administration to recognize and thereby promote managerial ability.
