U.M.S.U. DEBATINC- EXECUTIVE Back Rou- R. E. Guy XY. Palk Xl. Sprung front Row- Al. Cohen S, Yrucdman J. Thompson A. F. Smith HE year l93l-32 will be remembered in the life of the Debating Union as a year in which there was a tremendous revival of interest in debating, in which the debates of the Union were witnessed by audiences that filled the theatre to capacity. and in which the Union made a great advance in the direction of attaining its true status as a public forum. Recent years have shown a regretable tendency towards insularity and also towards levity: the Debating Union had gone collegiate. To counter- act this tendency the efforts of the Union were directed towards the consideration of problems of great social import, and to all the bi-weekly meet- ings an invitation was extended to some prominent members of the community in order that the views of the general public might be heard from the Union floor. V Major debates were held in the College of St. Thomas. with the University of British Columbia, and with a team sponsored by the N.F.C.U.S.. all of which Were attended by large crowds and set a high standard of debating quality. In a word. the result of the year's work can be best stated in the words that students and public have become debating conscious. Page Eighteen
