The purpose of the Chemistry Club is to develop in its members an interest in the chemical aspect of the phenomena of physical sciences and to impart to its members practical knowledge of the type of work involved in such areas of chemistry as medicine and industry. The club endeavors to reach its goals under the inspiration of its moderator, Fr. Bertin, and under the leadership of its officers, LaVern Lenze, presidentg John Jackovitz, vice-presi- dentg Arthur Urbanik, secretaryg and George King, treasurer.

DEBATE SOCIETY This society affords, perhaps, the best opportunity for any willing student to improve his ability to communicate his ideas and present persuasive arguments for his convictions. Participat- ing with a wide variety of schools, such as the Universities of Vermont, Maryland, Princeton, Fordham, Pitt, and John Hop- kins, the group boasts a most laudable record of recent and past accomplishments and anticipates a commensurate future. Both novices and varsity crews achieved excellent ratings that ranked them high, even first, in tournaments attended across the eastern seaboard. As in the past, the society, moderated by Rev. Callistus Milan, O.S.B., hosted the annual Tower Tournament which en- abled over thirty 'teams to compete on an intercollegiate level. The 1960-61 topic read: Resolved, that the United States should adopt a program of compulsory health insurance for all citizens. Officers of the club include: Dominic Meffe, presidentg Andrew Verzilli, vice-presidentg Robert Nargi, secretary, and Carmine Molinaro, treasurer.
