Debate HE DEBATE SEASON ended with three victories and five defeats. Although the squad did not come through with an especially successful season, they received a great deal of practice which will be valuable for debate work next year. The debate question tor the l936 season was: Resolved, that the several states should enact legislation providing for a system of complete medical service available to all citizens at public expense. The league debates were all given in the cross-question syle of debating, but the squad also had some practice in the new type known as problem-solving. Several of the debate class used this new type ot debate in their discussion of the question, What can be done to help the farmer? Problem-solving debating was demonstrated in an assembly by a group ot debators from the University ot Wash- ington. The squad made an enjoyable trip to the University where a Buckley team consisting of Hugh MacWhirter, Kenneth Rock and Sylvia Matson met an Anacortes team in a debate tournament which was held tor the purpose of demonstrating the problem-solving method. Several other schools were also represented at the tourna- ment. The members ot the squad who received letters were Frank Angeline, William Warren, Leah Laine, Vincent Fryslie, Robert Olson, Claude Marsh, Sylvia Matson, Hugh MacWhirter, and Kenneth Rock. Two members ot the squad who were not eligible to receive letters were Lillian White, a freshman, who took part in one league debate, and Marie Reel, a sophomore. Those who took part in the debate on the agricultural question were Harold Makela, Mike Brendel, Edward Todd, Seymour Parker, Vincent Fryslie, and james Nation. 'ini ww: Lillian Wltite.
