It and anguages uniatcfs Forensic Front Juniata debating tradit' ion was more than upheld by this year's varsity debate team. Under the managership of Bob Anderson the team completed one of the most successful seasons in Juniata debating history and estabf lished an excellent reputation among intercollegiate def hating circles. Eighteen intercollegiate debates were included in this years forensic schedule. Of these, twelve were decision debates and the remaining snr no decision debates. In the twelve decision debates .Iuniata's debaters were sucf Lxrufm D. HARBAUGH cessful in gaining nine victories, thus establishing a Assistant Librarian A remarkable record.

In due time, or usually two days late, the stories come in one by one, and are dispatched in batches to the printers. They return in printed galleys to be proof read and to have heads written for them. This event occurs every Tuesday evening, and it is the occasion for some of the greatest demonstrations of human anguish ever to be found in or about Juniata. But it is done. Somehow it is done. And back to the printers the next morning go the corrected proofs. Wedf nesday afternoon, the-Editor, the Maiiaging Editor, and the Sports Editor follow them to Leshers Amid an atmosphere of smoking lead and printers' ink, and under the din of the presses, the paper takes form. As the weary editors straggle campusward, the press begins to roll off JUNIATIAN after JUNIATIAN. In the end, the last to suffer from the creation of a student newspaper, containing news of interest to Juni' ata College and its friends, published at Juniata College on each Wediiesday throughout the college year except during vacations, are the Freshmen. Their Wediaesday evenings are spent in the Press Club Room, folding sheets and addressing papers. Thus the Boy and the Girl at Juniata learn to write, and create, and to manage. And they, as well as the Col' lege, benefit from their efforts. The days spent in writing, in editing, in laying out the paper, and the cheerful comradery of the Press Club Room and Lesher's all have a hand in shaping their character. Could any activity do more?

Both of these questions proved to be very timely and, of great general interest. In addition to the intercollegiate debate quesf tions an intramural debate of popular student interest was held on the question, Resolved: That woman's place is in the home. Probably the most important event of the season was Juniata's victory in the Intercollegiate Debate Conference held at Westminster College on December lOth. Here Juniata's varsity team composed of Robert Anderson, John Crawford, William Van Horn, and Charles Ellis, in competition with such schools as Carnegie Tech, University of Pittsburgh, Western Reserve, Penn State and University of West Virginia, was successful in gain' ing an undisputed first place in the conference. Winning seven out of eight debates Juniata easily overcame her three closest rivals, Mt. Union, Westerii Reserve, and University of West Virginia, who tied for second place with snr victories each. The conference this year was larger than ever before, eighteen colleges from four states being represented. The home debating schedule was also a very important element in the success of this seasonis debate program. The first three home contests against Ursinus, Drew Uni' versity, and Waynesburg were no decision debates. Alf though these debates proved to be very interestmg, it was decided to further encourage student interest by the introduction of three judge decisions for the remainder of the debating season. The judges for these debates were selected from among the prominent men and women of the community representing various fields of endeavor. The plan was very successful and an important element in the revival of debating interest among the student body. ' In the first home debate, after a hard fought battle on both sides, the Juniatians bowed to Western Maryland. However in the second debate against Susquehanna, l The Historic Tower Juniata emerged the Victor. In the last two home debates against the womens teams of Allegheny and Ursinus, Juniata shared the honors, being defeated by the former and defeating the latter. The attendance at the majority of home debates was exceptionally good. Another important event in Juniata debating history was the creation of a Freshman debating team. The purpose of such a team being to give the freshmen can' didates for the varsity team an opportunity to gain experience in intercollegiate debating. Although the team was just organized this year they made a ine show' ing at an intercollegiate freshman debate conference in debate with the freshmen team of Penn State. The me1nbers of the team were Laban Leiter, Staford Weeks, Gilbert Shimmel, and Charles Haines. This season debating was under the capable guidance of a faculty debate committee composed of Dr. Leaman, of the History department, Dr. Zassenhaus of the Econo' mics department and Miss Graybill of the English department. , 3.3.x-4..e..,1c .
