Fun And Furore at Debating Agm

St. Patrick's Night saw the upper gym 1/25 full while the Debating Society set sail on another year. The secretary meandered through the Annual Report to the accompaniment of snores, rudely interrupted by the public washing of some society linen. Our long-held suspicions were confirmed that last year's best debates probably took place in the privacy of the committee room.

There followed some highly impromptu debates, during which: The thought of playing with a King revolted Mr. Bollinger. Mention of dribbling reminded Mr. O'Connor of the presence of Mr. Curtln, whom he then called upon to speak.

Mr. O'Brien didn't know what went on in the Middle Ages, but thought we ought to ask Mr. O'Connor, "our oldest living undergraduate."

Mr. Goddard wanted to know, if chivalry was not dead, but only sleeping, who it was sleeping with.

Someone told us about his experiences while "riding his bicycle innocuously round the Duke."

The opening debate of the year will take place in the Gym on Friday, March 31, 8 p.m. Subject: "That Socialism in the Western Democracies has had its day." We warmly invite all freshers to come and see what goes on. You don't have to speak, and it's more fun listening sometimes anyhow. To old debaters—come and show 'em how it's done. Supper is provided.
