1936 Cedrus Yearbook

Negative—Justin Hart- man, Harold Shaw, Harry Wallace, and Donald Burkert. Mrs. J. W. Ault acted as debate coach. The question for debate was, Resolved: That Con- gress should be empowered to override by a two- thirds vote of both houses decisions of the Supreme Court declaring actions of Congress unconstitu- tional. There were debates scheduled for the early part of the season, but because of the inclement weather, they were postponed. Thus it happened that the Cedarville teams en- tered the North Manchester Convention without any previous experience. Upon examining our schedule after registering in North Manchester, we found that we were to debate all large colleges and universities since Cedarville, because of pre- vious records, is entered in Class A. Nothing daunted by the size of the universities represented by their opponents, the Cedarville teams put forth their best efforts and as a result of the debates scheduled, Cedarville defeated Chicago Univer- sity, North Manchester, and Evansville. After the Convention, Cedarville met Rio Grande with whom we divided the victory —the Affirmative losing and the Negative winning. The season closed with two non-decision debates with Dayton University. This year the squad loses Donald Burkert and Joseph West. With six members remaining, we are hoping for another successful year during 1936-37. DEBATE SOLTAD Justin II a rtman, Harold Shaw. harry Wallace. Don- ald Burkert, Mrs. J. W.
