Debating Council Loses to Cornell

Cornell debaters stressed the danger of adopting a federal civil rights program as they beat the Debate Council last night in an Ivy League contest at Winthrop House.

The topic was: "Resolved: That a comprehensive federal civil rights program should be adopted." Cornell debaters George Baroody and William Vanden Houvel argued the negative and won a two to one victory over Melvin L. Zurier '50 and K. Bruce Friedman '50, who represented the Crimson in the affirmative.
