SCANLAN Secretary: MARK VVALSH Treasurer: JOSEPH CURR.NN one to ohserve Professor O!Brien's Sheaiy Debating Society in operation, he would see those cynics who insist that persuasive oratory has come to a final resting place in text-hooks quickly put to rout. Since con- viction in oneys position on contemporary attairs is so necessary in these times of change the society has concentrated on presently vital questions. Among positions cietendeci and refuted in the meetings this year have heen: That the Supreme Court ot the United States he increased from nine to iitteen justicesfg Uihat Germany he returnect her coioniesfyg mlmhat the Sit-Down Strike ot the General Niotors employees was justi- tiectf, g HThat specialized iousiness education is more actaptect to modern lite than a ciassicai college coursef, 3 mfhat the Feclerai Constitution should he amended to increase the power ot the Fecierai Government over those internal aiiairs oi the States which attect the country as a whoief, In vievv ot the instruction atiorcieci hy these disputes members have tounci the Sheaiy Deioating Society ot particular value.

GYBRIEN, NIJ-X., LLB. President: JOHN CONIFF Vice-President: JOHN Nl. REGAN Secretary: JOHN POWERS Chairman of Contest Committee: JOHN PURCHIO ORGANIZED in 1928, the Mulry Council of Debate is the senior ol the extra-curricular groups. ln the course of its history the role of innovator has been natural to its development. But this year Professor O,Brien,s creative genius must be especially commended, for besides carrying on its regular Weelcly intramural debates, the Council expanded the traditional schedule to include intercollegiate contests. Highly gratifying performances were the result of the efforts of Messrs. Coniff, Hennessey, Kennedy, M. Murphy, Regan, Valenti, Pur- chio, D,Amato, Baniszevvslci, Hare and lVlcCune, in engaging teams re- presenting Fordham College Uptown, New Yorlx University, and The College of Mount St. Vincent. These men, together with Professor O,Brien, are to be commended not merely for the honors brought to them- selves in these more public forums, but, on a grander scale, because they have helped to enhance the reputation of their Own school by bringing to the attention of the public at large an ability that had already earned them great respect in their own environs. 7 t m it' 94 ' t '- p

Tbe results ot tbis program were gratifying beyond expectations, in tbe num- ber of original sbort stories, essays, editorials, poems, tbe one-act play, and two full-lengtb dramas, wbicb were read before tbe club in tbe course of tbe year. A very valuable service was rendered to autbors and members in tbe opportunity turnisbed by open discussion and evaluation at tbe comple- tion oi reading. Professor Sexton, in suggesting tbe manner of bandling tbe different forms and enbancing tbe critical reaction of tbe club members made tbe difference between an effective and a Wealcly Written effort. f ' -'W nf g.
