DEBATING SOCIETY MEETS MIDDLEBURY

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Middlebury will meet the Harvard Debating Council today at 3 o'clock in the Lowell House Junior Common room for a battle of words. Thursday at 8 o'clock the Council will play host again, this time to Haverford.

The Middlebury debate will discuss the topic: "Resolved: That there are should be national conscription of United States women." Robin Worthington '47 and Brewster Kopp '47, both of Lowell House, will represent Harvard. The Debating Council will take the affirmative.

Thursday Leopold Haimson '46, of Dunster House, and Ellis Kaplan '46, of Adams House will oppose the Haverford delegation. The hosts will debate the affirmative of the subject: "Resolved: That the United States should enter a post-war military alliance of which Russia is a member." Prominent members of the Faculty will act as judges and the Council expects to conduct a discussion from the floor.

On December 17 the Debating Council held an intra-council debate for the purpose of self-criticism and improvement of style.
