,, ORGANIZATIONS '- ' The Bucba Debating Society The school year, 1921-1922, has seen the Bucba Debating Society of the College of Business Administration day division come rapidly to the front, although founded only a year previously, and later reorganized. Its purpose is to give every student interested, an opportunity to learn to talk on his feet and to develop a debating team to contest other departments and outside colleges. lt has proven to be a success school for cultivating poise and self-confidence for its members. Meetings were held the past year every Tuesday afternoon. At each meeting a live school, national, business or humorous topic was debated by a team of two men on each side, followed by a gen- eral extemporaneous discussion. At the opening of the year, the following oiiicers were in charge of the society: President, Paul V. Smithg vice-president, James M. Moselyg secretary, George M. Shannon, treasurer, Harry Cedar, captain, H. Shapiro, critic, John Henry Fort. On November 1, 1921, because of the press of other affairs, Paul V. Smith resigned as president. A new constitution was drafted by a committee, of which John D. Con- nors was chairman. A plan for the establishment of a local Greek letter fraternity was adopted by the society. The fraternity will be open for the fifteen members of the Bucba who each year do the most for the society. To be eligible for the secret debating fraternity, it is required that a student must belong to the Bucba for at least one year, and fulfill other requisites. A memorable dinner was held on December 16, 1921, at the .Holland, with Frank P. O'Neil as toastmaster. An entertainment which included Siamese hypno- tism followed at the B.U. Union. At nine o'clock there was a debate with the Buds of the night division on the subject, Resolved: that the cash-and-credit plan for de- partment stores is more beneficial to the public than the cash system alone. William G. Hoffman, T. E. Hicks of William Filene's Sons Co., and Professor Jameson were judges. Royal K. Hayes and Miss Pauline Sawyer appeared for the Bucba, and Wil- fred B. Wells and Alan Lees for the Buds. The verdict was given unanimously in favor of the affirmative. A freshman-sophomore debate on February 14, 1922, was given at C.B.A. as- sembly on the question, Resolved: that mid-year and final examinations be contin- ued. Abraham Callum and Wziltei' D. Higgins of the freshmen upheld the affirma- tive. Arthur Bushell and Thomas Hennessey supported the negative. On February 7, 1922, the elimination contest for the debating team was held. The following squad was chosen: W. J. Bushell, Abraham Callum, John H. Fort, Royal K. Hayes, Herbert Saul, Thomas Hennessey, Walter D. Higgins, Louis Mahoney, John Murray, Lewis Pitcher and Pauline Sawyer. The Bucba for the year had a membership of approximately fifty, including a number of fair co-eds. 207
