DR, ELMER C. CSRIFFITH Debating Two State Championships, and a season without the loss of a single vote by any of the men's dehate teams, mark the most successful year in forensics, that Kalamazoo College has ever had and, leave Kalamazoo the undisputed leader of debating in hlich- igan for another year. , lklore interest was shown in debating this year than has ever been shown in the memory of any student now in college, as has been demonstrated by the number of pa1'ticipants and the remarkable support given by the student body, Twenty-six men and women participated in twelve debates for Kalamazoo this year. All but six of those entering the debate t1'y-outs took part in at least one debate. The All-Frosh teams opened the 1925 debating season on January 16th with two unanimous decisions. This gave Kalamazoo the All-Frosh quadrangle championship. A negative team composed of Robert Krill, Donald Dayton and George Allen de- cisively defeated the Hillsdale Freshmen at Hillsdale on the question: Resolved, that there should be no discrimination against the Japanese in our immigration laws. At the same time, the Kazoo affirmative team, composed of lllarvin Volpel, Donald Tour- telotte and john Carroll were handing the Dlivet Freshmen a 3-0 defeat on the home platform. VVith this record, in addition to their own past ones, to uphold, the Varsity League teams started the season with a rush and not once were they headed in the League race. Friday, the l3th, is unlucky for Kazoo's opponents. Un February ldth the Var- sity negative team, lfdwin Gemrich, Leroy Stinebower and Lecllie De-How, won a 3-0 victory on Ypsilanti's platform and the next night one of Kalamazoo's affirmative teams, blames McLaughlin, Gilbert Otto and Gould Fox, debating at home, won by the same score over Albion. The State Championship was practically determined February 26th when the same Kazoo negative team met the Olivet affirmative' Olivet, due to this defeat was forced to accept second place when the judges decided for Kazoo, 3-O. The following night another affirmative team made up of Harold Headle, Robert Stein, and Raymond Ford traveled to Hope where they had no trouble in gaining a 2-O victory over the Dutch. One judge didn't show up. These four unanimous decisions not only gave Kalamazoo the lllichigan Debate League Championship but also established a reco1'd for the League-an ent11'e season without the loss of a single vote.
