i Debate A PLACE of some importance has been occupied by debate this year. A semester course was given in argumentation and de- bating, in which great interest was shown. Those participating in debate work draw from it not only invaluable experience, but a knowledge of an unusally interesting and important subject, and are well repaid for their efforts. The question studied in this class was: Resolved, That the United States should immediately recog- nize Soviet Russia. This subject has had great prominence in the United States since the Soviet Government began to make over- tures for recognition. A This question was used at the debate contest on April 24. Six students entered this contest, and two teams were formed to uphold the two sides of the question. The affirmative team consisted of Howard Graybeal, Winston Saunders and Gilbert Howard. The negative was upheld by Rheta Forbis, Velma Har- ris and Leo-nel Gray. The negative team won by unanimous decision of the judges and the three members of this team were chosen to represent the school against Spokane College. Last year's team won the two debates in which they partici- pated and we are expecting equal success for our debaters this vear. WHAT DID HE MEAN I Leonel Gray was 'explaining in English class that Russia tolerates free love. He started by saying, XN'hen one wife's hus- band lives with another husband-no. I mean when one husband's wife lives with another husband's wife--no, doggone it. I mean when the husband of one wife lives with the husband of another wife- Leonel stopped for breath then started again. VVhat I start- ed out to sav was that when one woman's wife lives with another woman's wife-I mean another man's husband-anyway it is not so bad as having one woman's wife living with another wife's women- Prof. Sevy interrupted at this point and suggested that Bunt finish his talk later. Bunt hasn't finished that talk yet. Page Seventy-Four

Society THE reception, given Qctober 5, was the first social event of the year. We could hardly recognize our gymnasium, which was gaily decorated in many colors and festooned with blossom-laden baskets, suspended everywhere. The evening's entertainment was enlivened by several up-to-date and classical selections by the newly-organized orchestra. The only inharmonious note in an otherwise perfect evening was the fact that the frosh were compelled, by dire threats from the sophs, to wear tacky clothes. Delicious refreshments were served. ' A Hallowe'en party, given in the basement of the city library, followed in due time. All the guests came masked. Although expecting shrieks, moans and weird apparitions associated with such an occasion the actual reception exceeded all expectations, and is beyond description in diabolical horrors and breath-taking frights. After the general unmasking, with its surprises, varied forms of Halloweien recreatons were introduced. Refreshments were then served. All the revellers joined in proclaiming it a de- cided success. What was probably the most important social event of the whole year was the for better or for worse agreement reached by Miss Grace Bamburg and Mr. Reuben Frank on our great na- tional holiday. April lst. The ceremony at the home of the bride's parents near junction City, was everything that such a ceremony should be. Instead of the conventional wedding march. the organ- ist plaved that well-known masterpiece, Reuben, Reuben. I've Been Thinking, and followed this with The Leap Year VVarn- ing. bv Burgoyne. The word 'fobey was used once, but was noticeably absent in the bride's vow. After the ceremony a mixed quartette sang Amazing Grace and for an encore gave Reuben's Swan Song. When the happy couple got back to Columbia they were given a royal welcome-being stuffed. first in the dining room and after- ward in the College hearse which was immediately dragged up the Main stem by forty corn-fed Cayuses. The cavalcade kept step to a soul-stirring tune, melodiouslv renderedqby a band of fiftv oil-cans, seven circular saws. and the old College bell. Through- out the ride Mr. Frank and his bride seemed to be firmly attached to each other-even when they stopped at the Fountain 'to set 'em up they could not be separated. President Shangle says that such attachment is all too seldom seen nowadays. Yes, it was a real social event. Page Seventy-Five
