Middlebury Topped as Debaters Break Jinx

Emphasizing its contention that democracy is not being served under the present Congressional voting arrangement, the Harvard Debate Council in its last debate in 1944, defeated a team from Middle bury College Saturday evening to break the Crimson's four-debate losing streak.

Arguing the affirmative position in the question: "Resolved, That the Constitution be amended to permit the passage of treaties by a simple majority in both houses," were Ronald G. Newburgh '46 and Arthur D. Sporn '47. Their opponents were Leonard Zariman and Donald Hackel, Judges for debate included Kurt W. Lessen and William F. Weeks of Lowell House.
