GayZagian's earnest manner is always present whether he is advocating marriage on less than 540.00 a week, or a chance for murderers to reform. Don't consider the first question too seriously, Lootiil ,lf ik Dk Our membership commitee manager, Warren Prescott, doesnlt have much to say-at our Friday night meetings. Perhaps if we went to as many dances as he, we'd be too darn tired to make any noise ourselves.

oRGAN1zATIoNs ' '- gc Boston niversity Debating Society He who can readily and clearly express himself on all occasions occupies an enviable position. Realizing the many advantages that an experienced speaker possesses, we of the BUDS have availed ourselves of the opportunity to improve our talking ability. We have considered the sales tax, the bonus bill, the abolition of mid-year and final examinations, the continuation of capital punishment, the four power treaty, and other subjects of local, national and international interest, by means of prepared debates and open discussion. For the hrst time in our history, we blossomed forth to debate with another organization. The lon -antici ated BUCBA-BUDS debate took place late in December, at the Boston Uni- 8 P versity Union. The able forces of the BUDS argued long and vallantly against the credit system in department stores, but were compelled in the end to haul down their colors before the successful onslaught of their opponents. We extend our hearty congratulations to the ' ' t t f winners, and are not at all discouraged by the fact that the BULBA nippcd thc blosssm o our first bud. Our try-it-again attitude proves that we can meet with triumph and dis- aster, and treat those two imposters just the same. We have not by any means overlooked social activities in our pursuit of knowledge of the functions of the spoken word. We have already enjoyed a very successful dancing party, and are planning others, among which is the much-talked-ab-out BUCBA-BUDS social, at which the day and evening debating societies will trip the light fantastic together. Nor have we confined our fforts entirely to our debates and socials. ln addition to again taking charge of the evening division Svimanus work, we managed to find time to serve our Alma Mater in the lindowment Campaign, and were successful in securing the quota expected from our branch of the Boston University family, Our preamble states our aims-the development of the art of self-expression and the promotion of good fellowship-but it is not possible for us to estimate, in so many words, the value of our accomplishments, for this can be measured onlv bv the extent of individual 1m- provement, the increased fluency, greater clarity of thought and self-confidence, to sav nothing of the lasting friendships, which each member has derived from his association with the BUDS. 201
