The Great Gannon Debate he Gannon Debate Council has existed long before the Lincoln Center Twas built—back when the college was located downtown. Now its fate is in question. When the referendum by the SABC is voted on next week to decide Whether the university should fund Gannon, CLCs prestige will hang by a string. The Council, which is now being funded by the SABC as a club, might lose its support and therefore have to combine with Rose Hill's debate team. This means that any winnings will be noted under the Fordham University Debate team and not Gannon Council. While the Council is combined with Rose Hill in its traveling tournaments, it is CLC that displays the trophies. If the Gannon Council were to be dissolved, this would be a large step back for CLC We are in a constant battle to gain an identity separate from our Rose Hill "Big Brother," and Gannon gives us a bit of recognition that we surely deserve. But the question remains: Is Gannon really a club open for all? It sup- posedly has open membership, yet it is only the select few who possess superior debating skills to compete in tournaments. (And it is also a big plus for these select few on Law School applications to be a member of such a Council.) A loiss of Gannon to Rose Hill would be a personal loss to only a small number of CLC students-but a great loss to the prestige of Lincoln Center. * Obligatory Editorial ~ , A big TV movie about nuclear disaster appeared last month, and every newspaper must comment on it, we guess.

These details take on a horrifying tone because we realize how familiar all this is to us, and that we could be that family. The first half of the film could indeed be named "Scenes from a Toga Family" because so many of the occurrences in their lives seem so damned important. Why shouldn't kids lament about their cableless television and lousy reception? It's part of their everyday frustra- tions; nuclear war and radiation are such unthinkable concepts to them that when, it does happen, their bewilderment comes across to us astonishingly well. Because we know what will happen, we are left breathless waiting for the unthinkable while they carry on with their daily routines.

"Classical Composers" is a regular column by M.D. Stratis. Each issue, Mr. Stratis will focus on the life and music of a particular composer.

By M.D. Stratis

What can one say about the greatest composer who ever lived? What can one say about a man who fills our hearts with rich and passionate feelings through the medium of music? What can one say about a genius? Only words of appreciation and praise can be exclaimed to this master of art. Where would we be without Beethoven in the world of music? We most probably would be back half a century in musical composition arguing over some unresolved technique of tonality. And in this time of chaos in the artistic world, what more can one do than seek solace in the style of the great composer and begin again? Beethoven is a name synonymous with the apex of classical music. Before him, Mozart and Haydn reigned; after him, Brahms, Wagner and Liszt ruled.
