Elis Win Debate Here On McCarthy Ouster

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Varsity debaters lost to Yale last night on the question, "Resolved: That Senator McCarthy should be expelled from the Senate." Walter C. Carrington '52 and Irving Yoskowitz '53 argued the affirmative.

Yale's Jeremy E. Butler and John M. Steadman based their argument on the fact that while McCarthy has been guilty of bad taste in his actions, he should not be expelled. To do that, they argued, would be to override the jurisdiction of the people of Wisconsin who elected him.

Yale debaters, arguing the affirmative, won over Harvard 3 to 0 at New Haven.
