DEBATE Resolved, that Congress should enact legislation embodying the prin- ciples of the Haugen Farm Relief bill, constitutionality waived, was the state debate question for 1926-'27, Two teams debated the bill for High School debate this year. The affirmative side of the question was debated by Ruth Robinson, Wilbur Lay, and Charles Bastow, the negative by Katherine Liggett, Charles Lesan and Marian Williams. The first debate with Leon was very successful for both teams won. The second, however, ended less happily as the negative team lost to Bedford and the affirmative team lost to Corning. March 9, a team composed of Marian Williams, Charles Lesan, Wilbur Lay and Charles Bastow went to Des Moines and debated in the Drake Tournament. There, they won from Van Meter in the first round but lost in the second to Humboldt. Remarkable work has been done in debate, and the coaches as well as the debaters are to be congratulated. -Naomi Price '27.
