VARSITY VARIETIES Brandon College's first annual Inter-Varsity Night was held on Friday evening, February 5, in the Earl Oxford School Auditorium. Sponsored by the Literary Board, the Manager, Mr. Mervyn Letts, '61, gave a few words of welcome. The Master of Ceremonies, Mr. Don Goodfellow, '61, then proceeded to introduce the topic and speakers for the ensuing debate. Speakers for Notre Dame College, Wilcox, Saskatchewan, were Mr. Ezra Mhwana, and Mr. Larry Roine, who took the negative, while the defbaters from Brandon College were Mr. Hugh Halliday and Miss Pat Dodds. The topic was Be It Resolved That Canada Should Recognize Red China. Judges for the debate were Mrs. G. R. Rowe, Mr. J. Blackwood, and Mr. M. Kavanagh, the latter giving the criticism. The decision was a tie, but the judges gave preference to the speakers, placing them according to their performances. Next on the programme came a word from the World University Ser- vice, WUS, by Miss Barbara Fishman, of the University of Manitoba. She briefly outlined the programme of the WUS which includes a world con- ference in Israel in 1960, the Treasure Van, and scholarships offered for foreign study. Best wishes were extended to Brandon College for the latest venture into WUS. This was followed -by a brief and informative Panel Discussion on De Gaulle and the French Algerian Policy, with Miss N. Walmsley as com- mentator. Representing the University of Manitoba were Miss Vee Stern, Mr. Jack Switzer, and Mr. John Gordon. Brandon College representatives were Mr. -Hugh Halliday, Mr. Robert Henault, and Mr. Glen Beck. Professor Walmsley introduced the subject and kept the discussion running smoothly. No decision was arrived at by the panelists, as time would permit only a scratching of the surface of the problem. Finally we were treated to selections by the newly reorganized Bran- don College Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Humphrey Davies and accompanied by Mr. David Wilson, '59, on the piano. They favored the audience with delightful renditions of It's a Grand Night for Singing , Gaudeamus Igitur , and Sing Hallelujah . Mr. Goodfellow brought the programme to a close by expressing the sentiments of all those present by hoping for a continuation of Inter- Varsity Night, which would meet with even more success. Miss Sandra Lowe, '60, was then given charge, with the serving 'of cokes and jambusters, which was followed by a dance, to the melodious strains of the College Combo. A vote of thanks -goes to Mr. Letts, Mr. Goodfellow, Miss Lowe, Miss Walmsley, and all those who promoted the Inter-Varsity Night. Here is to greater success in future endeavours in this field. M. J.
