This year's debaters proved themselves well worthy of the Pi Kappa Delta honor they won last year. While not finishing as high nationally this year, the debate squad, coached by William Robertz, nevertheless presented a forboding case to all their opponents while winning over 75 per cent of their debates. In addition to the debate squad, Hap LeVander and Myrna Zielske were accorded fourth and second places respectively in the national oratory contest held at Northwestern University during the Easter vacation. Luther Luedke seems to be pointing out a fact of interest to debate coach William Robertz as Donna Seeclerburg looks on.

Bernadotte Institute Studies the Highlighting the Institute this year was a long-overdue visit by Countess Estelle Bernadotte seen here with Rod Lawson, college treasurer. Many important questions were answered in forums such as this as Dr. Tang, Dr. Means, Dr. Inkeles, and Dr. Taylor took the stand. An analysis of the Sino-Soviet Bloc was conducted for the students and faculty of Gustavus under the auspices of the Folke Bernadotte Memorial Foundation. Early in May the Thirteenth Annual Bernadotte Institute on World Affairs met to discuss, debate and analyze the crisis of the Communist Bloc. As usual, an eminent contingent of experts converged on our campus to enlighten all those interested in the world problems of today. The kick-off speaker was Mr. Thomas Hughes, Deputy Director of Intelligence and Research of the State Department. Mr. Hughes discussed the implica- tions of Soviet foreign policy on the West. The impact of Communist China on world affairs was well explained by Dr. George Taylor, director of the Russian and Far Eastern Institute at the University of Washington. Following this address, the director of the Research Institute on the Sino- Soviet Bloc, Dr. Peter Tang analyzed Mao's leadership and the prospects of Communist China. Ending the First day of lectures, Dr. Alex Inkeles, director of Studies in Social Relations, at the Russian Research Center at Harvard Uni- versity, explained the continuity and change of Soviet society. Dr. Rodney David introduced Dr. Peter Tang, an expert on Chinese affairs. H , . J smo sown gmt V4
