Massey turned on excellent hospitality, and visitors are now in a better position to appreciate Professor Peren's dreams. The actual debating hall was better decorated than any other Joynt Scroll hall the writer has seen, with a massed ceiling high drape of all colleges colours, massed bowls of irises and individual iris plants in trays along the walls. Messrs. Oram, M.P. Opic and Murray were the judges. They commented on the very high standard although they were disappointed in all the debates except the one that produced the winning and second teams.

The 'first debate was affirmed by CUC aginst MAC on the subject, "That the press is (ailing in its duty to society."

This debate broke down and lost meaning because neither side attempted to define what the press's duty towards society was. This was noted by the judges who commented through their spokesman, Mr. Oram, that an analytic argument would have produced much better results. In the early stages there was considerable attention paid to the difference between reporting and editorials so perhaps it was inevitable that an interjector should interrupt the summing up of Mr. Bowron, the CUC leader when discussing magazines such as "Man" with the question, "hut have you read its editorials?" It was Mr. Bowron, too, who brought the house down by turning to the chairman and saying "if you were a man, sir."------long pause.
