Debate decides Staff to Go

We should have no confidence in the staff." That was the argument of the representative staff team, comprising Professor Brookes and Doctors Truscoe and Harvey. The staff evaluated themselves as a lot of second-raters and never has-beens. The staff's motion for no confidence in themselves was a giant confidence trick, long planned and designed (as they said) to get the students to leave the university so that they should e no work to do.

The entire debate was light-hearted, neither side very heated, and was a source of great amusement.
