Andover Succumbs to Yardling Debate Team

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Socialism suffered a severe setback Saturday night at 7:30 o'clock in the Harvard Union when the Freshman Debating team out-talked the affirmative Andover aggregation the subject "Resolved: that the Industry of the United States should be Socialized, now."

The debate was introduced by Frederick L. Chapin '50, chairman, and judged by Vincent Baker, professor in Government, George M. Dill, Jr., professor in History, and Raymond J. Dorius, professor in General Education, who unanimously gave victory to the Yardlings and the decision for best speaker of the evening to Roy G. Clouse '50.

Freshman representatives at the debate, Clouse, Frederick D. Houghteling and John H. Lehnert '50, talking informally and from few notes, accepted the many weaknesses of capitalism, and showed how guaranteed annual wages, extended social security, and more legislation against monopolies would be more successful solutions to our present difficulties than socialism.
