With an active staff of sixty-seven mem- bers, the Greyhound undertook reorganiza- tion of its business department, and with aliinmi circulation campaigns and tighter coordination, business went ahead more briskly. The editors toured the Sunpaper’s plant with Mr. John Plunkett, copy editor of the Morning Sun, and the staff was ad- dressed by Mr. Terence Burke, Assistant Editor of the Baltimore News-post — both men are former Greyhound editors.

To give the students a more rapid, Itrief coverage of day-to-day events on campus, the paper published a daily bulle- tin throughout the year that included every- thing from athletic events and club meetings to schedules ol confessions in the chapel.

' I land ling one ol llie most controversial topics in VRiO ' s, “Resolved that the United States shonhl extend di})loniatic recognition to the Coinnuinisl government of China,” which was the national debate topic lor this year, the Robert Ballarmine Debating So- ciety of Loyola College had one of the most active seasons in its history this year. Over twenty members took part in approximately one hundred intercollegiate debates, most of which were on the national topic. In the Janies Cardinal Gibbons Debating League, which Loyola helped to form last year, and which is composed ol seven of the Catholic colleges and Universities in the Baltimore - Washington - Emmitsburg area, Loyola has been highly successlul this year. Each school in the league must debate each other school twdce, and at the end of the first semester’s activity, Loyola was the only school whose debating team was still undefeated. Under tbe leadership of its officers, John Tormey, president, T. Howland Sanks, vice- president, James B. O’Hara, secretary, and Samuel J. Ady, treasurer, and its moderator Mr. Erancis C. Voci, the Bellarmine Debat- ing Society also took part in an unusually large number of intercollegiate tournaments in Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore. The Debating team finished up the year in grand style by wdnning the James Cardi- nal Gibbons Debating League, losing only one debate all year. They were awarded a large circnlating trophy and a small one which they will keep. Considerable ad- vances were made in the effort to give increasingly greater numbers of the organi- zation actual experience in competition; all in all, more than eighteen members par- ticipated in six or more debates. Hal Sanks speaks to a divided audience. 26
