Crimson Debaters Oppose Columbia

Intercollegiate debating swings into high this week-end, with two debates scheduled between now and Monday, both of which will take place in the Lowell House Junior Common Room. Tonight at 8 o'clock Edwin J. Jacobs '47 and Ronald G. Newburgh '46, representing the Harvard Debating Council, will face a team from Columbia University. Taking the negative, they are to argue the question: "Resolved, That the United Nations should agree to the establishment after the war of a Russian protective sphere of influence in central and eastern Europe."

Among the judges will be Clarence H. Haring, Robert Woods Bliss Professor of Latin American History and Economics and Master of Dunster House, and Wallace E. Davies, teaching fellow in History and Senior Tutor of Dunster House.

Two Debates With B. U.

Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock Henry H. Nattens '47 and Carl O. Tolf of the Nayal ROTC will debate against Boston University in the second half of a home-and-home debate. The topic will be: "Resolved, That President Roosevelt's foreign policies led us into this war," and the Crimson debaters will again take the negative position. The judges will include Gordon W. Allport, professor of Psychology, Merle Fainsod, associate professor of Government, and Raphael Demos, associate professor of Philosophy.

Last Wednesday evening, in the first half of this home-and-home debate, Fred Achin '47 and Arthur D. Sporn '47 were defeated by another team from Boston University. The subject of this debate, which took place in Boston, was: "Resolved, That the United Nations should establish an international police force to patrol Europe after the war." The Crimson debaters took the affirmative position.
