DEBATING After a twenty-year absence, the half-century-old Dingwall Trophy returns to United College. The orchids go to Muni Basman and Norm Silverman for their triumph over the agriculture debaters. That cherished Dingwall Trophy, emblematic of debating supremacy at the University of Manitoba, will for the next year stand amid the rest of our trophies, won in sports and other activities. The battle for the trophy was a memorable one. United was forced to assert its position as down-town debating champ by meeting Medicine in a semi-final. The finals were reached and won despite the few obstacles that detained us momentarily. Harry Beckewich is to be congratulated on the excellent qualities he displayed both administratively and forensicly, for without a doubt, the trophy would not be gracing our halls, were it not for some of the ‘debating’ he did behind the scenes. Once again, congratulations to Muni and Norman. 30

the tension inside of her growing with each second, and she wanted to scream, to throw open the door, and to hurl herself out into the street. She put her hand on the handle of the door. She left it there for several seconds, ran it over her forehead and through her hair, then she clenched it tightly with the other. She felt her fingernails biting into the palms of her hands and she wished she could scratch her hands until they bled. She could feel herself being hurled almost through time, powerless to stop her headlong dash, and she became aware of an extreme feeling of panic. Everything she had wanted seemed to be swirling past her in the turbu¬ lence and the pure colour of the lights as they too passed. She felt she must escape from this boredom, tlfls discontent, to run, to try to catch all she had lost. The boisterous activity of the lights screeched at her and her body stiffened and grew more tense with suppressed excitement. The dull, senseless rhythm of the wipers drove her on, pushed her, and she realized that at last she had caught up with the elusive lights. She turned to the boy who was a stranger to her, even after three years. “Ken, let me out.” “What have I done now” “Nothing Ken, just let me out, please.” “Now I’m sure you’re crazy — you’ve just sat staring at nothing all night—what’s the matter?” She could feel the panic creeping up on her again as her whole body urged her to go. The warmth of the car was creeping around her, which made her unable to move. She could feel the excitement and ecstasy of her life all around her, yet she could not move. She shook her head in bewilderment and half shuddered. “I said, what’s the matter. If you’re sick I’ll take you home. Otherwise I just can’t figure you.” She looked at him. He’d never be able to under¬ stand—-nor could she understand him. She wanted to go, but the warmth seeping through her whole body drifted upwards, binding her completely. Her mind struggled to move but her body was powerless. The lights around her were fading, and the feeling of sickness and heaviness was inside of her again. She could feel the restless, brooding feeling of dis¬ content spreading, and slumped down in her seat. She felt choked—and weary. The car splashed over to the curb, sending up a jet of water which splattered the pavement. “Well, do you still want to get out?” The girl startled, awoke from her reverie. She looked around slowly, her eyes misty and dull. “No, just forget it.” For the Best in Sporting Goods visit ASHDOWNS MAIN STREET AT BANNATYNE 29
