[Introduction]
Voracious speaking and vigorous, well-expressed arguments were heard at the VUC's Little Theatre on Friday, 10th, when the Debating Society battled the topic "That This House Approves U.S. Policy on Formosa!"
The Negative speakers tried to deal with America's policy, as best they could ("after all," one speaker pointed out, "It changes every time Mr. Dulles gives a press conference.") Many speakers affirming the motion made too much use of the emotional-overtones "free world, democracy, liberty . . ." Perhaps that's why the motion was last (11 for. 19 against).
