COLLEGE STUDENTS
In joint DEBATE
Another Great Question. Of Political

DISCUSS The CONSTITUTION

least this was the popular opinion of the
200 or more students and friends Of

last night attended the intercollegiate
debate between these two institutions.

school
The judges awarded the debate to

The question debated was. Resolved.
That More Easy and Expeditions
Method of Amending the Federal Consti-
tuition Should be Adopted" George
Washington argued in the affirmative
and Washington and Lee the negative.
Had the judges taken into considera-
tion popular opinion they certainly would
have unanimously decided in favor of
the negative 1t may have been that the
judges were progressive" and the audi
ence standpatters.
The gist Of the argument advanced by
the George Washington debaters in the
affirmative was that the United States
had outsrown the Constitution and TO
keep apace with the progress of times
many changes Were needed IN it, They
also argued that the United States Su-
preme Court had usurped its power of
interpreting the Constitution and had by
its decisions distorted and changed, its
entire meaning. They also deplored the
great length Of time required to secure
an amendment to the Constitution, and
declared the will of the majority of the
people could be defeated by per cent
Of the population Of the country. They
advanced seven plans in changing the
manner of amendments, all of which were
based upon a majority basis. and which
the negative proved could be defeated
by a single vote.
