"Animal Crackers," by Curran given as an encore by the women's club, proved very popular, "Clouds" by Charles was also very popular. .

Friday night Margaret McGarrah and Wilton Rowe debated the question: 'Resolved, that Congress should have the power by a two thirds majority to over rule the decisions of the Supreme Court" against the Alabama team. The decision was 3-0 in favor of Stetson. Jennings Minton was chairman of the debate. George Malmboig and Harmon Harper debated the question, "Resolved, that the government should own all light and, power utilities," against Mirros and Sermones of St. Petersburg Saturday night. The debate was a no-decision one. The most outstanding feature of the evening was the humor of Harper. It would be interesting to see what kind of team next year the freshman student would make with Milton . Rowe, of the varsity, also famed for his ability to arouse the laughter of an audience. Dean. Cotner says that he is pleased with the season of debating and with the showing that the Stetson teams have made, at home and at other schools. Both the Dean and the debaters look forward to an even more, successful program next year. Wilton Rowe, Stetson varsity debater, who has been outstanding in meets with other schools during the past debating season.
