EPRE i' l TIVE HIS YEAR,S Student Council has been headed hy Betty Bellam, who always threatened to lock the door at eight olclockeand then arrived at eight-ten to carry out the threat. The production of the assembled thought machines was sometimes slowed down by parliamentary technicalities and an atmosphere somewhat akin to spring fever. But at such moments slim Tague was always ready to stimulate the slumhering mentalities by arising to orate, We're not getting anywheref, And proceedings never seriously lagged: Vance Brown and Clarence Heron were always ready to volunteer opinions, good or otherwiseg Roy Goodwin could he counted on to hring forth a wise thought, or to side with the president in a parliamentary upheaval.

Here the course is plotted and the voyage mapped out. Our ship's chart room is the Student Council, which gives purpose and direction to student activity.

M22- BERLIN, main speaker. For the audience, debate as an activity is a series of bulletin notices and bi-semester clashes of word, wit, and lemon-munching speakers. For the debaters, however, all this stands for three long months of read- ing, note-taking, heated discussions. The actual Hclashl' is but a climax of intense concentration and fast think- ing. From the platform the audito- rium is surprisingly small, the op- ponents surprisingly formidable. But the actual process of speaking makes a seemingly dillicult task easy. Suddenly only the mind and the voice are i1n- portant, only ri point to be proved and a tremendous desire to prove it.
