MEN' S VA RS ITY DE BATH In addition to the regular League debates, the men's teams participated in two non-decisions debates. On the afternoon of Klarch 25th the affirmative team com- posed of Otto, lX'IcLaughlin and Fox, lllct a team from BI. A. C. and on April 17th the negative team went to Detroit where they met the Detroit College of Law. ln both of these debates it was the general accord of the audiences that the Kalamazoo teams had done the better debating. ln all the debates the Varsity teams debated the question: Resolved, that Con- gress should be empowered to override by a two-thi1'ds vote decisions of the Supreme Court declaring acts of Congress unconstitutional. The women's teams, using the same question as the Freshmen had used, opened the season llarch 12th when an affirmative team consisting of Mina Stowe, lfdith Levin and Bernice Cook debated a team from VVheaton College on the home platform. The single judge system was used in this debate and the one vote went to YVheaton. The following morning a tW0-mall team made up of Clifton Odell and VVintield Hollander clashed with two of VVheaton young ladies in a no-decision debate. The season closed April 18th with a triangular women's debate with Franklin College and Dennison University. The affirmative team, Alma Smith, Rlargaret Vande Bunt and Lucile Bullock, met the Franklin team here while the Kazoo nega- tive team, composed of Ruth lXIinar, Alice Starkweather and Dorothy Aldrich jour- neyed to Grandville, Ohio. ln both debates the vote was 2-1 for the negative. No account of the season would be complete without recognition of the work of Dr. Griffith, Coach of Debate. lVIainly through his untiring work with the squads. were they able to achieve their enviable record. No one, who has not participated in debating, can realize how much time and energy Dr. Griffith has given to his work. To him, more than to any one else, belongs the credit for Kalamazoo's outstanding leadership in Michigaii debating leagues. i i i , . Page One Hundred Fifuu
