Six debaters were chosen last night to represent the Debate Council in the Harvard-Yale-Princeton series which will take place on Friday May 13. The same orators will compete on Wednesday, May 11 for the $100 Coolidge debate prize.
Chosen in the elimination arguments were J. Phillip Bahn '49, Peter H. Clayton '50. Robert W. Kratz '50, Arthur W. Purcell '50, John H. Sutter '51, and Melvin L. Zurier '50, president of the Debate Council.
Bhan, Clayton, and Purceli will take the rostrum against Yale here, and Kratz, Sutter, and Zurier will meet the Princeton debaters on the Tiger's home grounds. The home team in each case will argue the affirmative of the question "Resolved: that the Communist Party should be outlawed."
The Coolidge prize is awarded each year to the top Harvard debater. The six finalists will argue two days before the triangle debate in the Coolidge Contest. The best individual speaker will receive the cash prize.
Judges for last night's preliminaries were Arthur N. Holcombe, Eaton Professor of the Science of Government, and Gerard Mandelbaum 2L.
