TUBS DAT, MAR. 17, igoj. STATE NORMAL COLLEGE RS. A. C. DEBATE. question w a s: The debate between the State Normal.College and M. A. C. took place at Ypsilanti Friday evening-. The ''Resolved, T h at government ownership and operation of railroads in the United is desirable." T he State States Normal College, upholding the affirmative, was awarded the favor able decision of the judges by a vote of 2 to 1. T he first affirmative speaker out lined the'doctrine that railroads .are a June;ion of government, and that the state has 110 right to delegate its functions. T he speaker offered no definition of function of government, but cited the fact that the courts had affirmed railroads to be a f unciion of government. T he second affirmative speaker showed that present conditions are bad and argued that state control has proved a failure. T he third speaker for the Normal College showed how the government might acquire railroads. Mr. Hartman-, the first speaker for M. A. C. defending the negative, said, that the affirmative would have to prove ( 1) that present conditions will be remedied by government ownership; ( 2) that no other sys tem would be a better remedy for present evils; ( 3) that government ownership would not introduce greater evils than exist at pres ent. He argued that state owner ship would not and had not elimi the evils complained of, and nated that it had the disadvantage of re stricting private initiative. Mr. Anderson, the second speaker that state for M. A. C. showed is not government organization adapted to the running of commer cial enterprises. He also argued that state government would break down and has broken down through enter inability prises. to handle state the Mr. Moore, last speaker, showed that state ownership would have a tendency to overthrow our form of government, that it would toward socialism, and that it tend would put an oligarchy in power. State control, he said, had none of these evils and would do the work effectively. Speaking in le>s detail, M. A. G. was the better in rebuttal but the Normal college evidently used sar casm effectively. It was conceded by many unprejudiced persons, for the example, some members of faculty of Cleary college and sev eral Normal college students that M. A. C. had the better of the ar gument. In the opinion of Dr. E d wards M. A. C. was better in ac quaintance with the question, in familiarity with all the facts bearing upon the matter, in directness and cogency of rebuttal, and in general bearing upon the platform. T he question T he decision of the majority of the judges was determined evidently by the readiness of repartee and the greater earnestness in delivery on the part of Ypsilanti. T he judges w e r e: H o n. Levi Barbour of Detroit, J u d ge N e w k i rk of the Washtenaw Probate Court, and Hon. L a w t on H e m a ns of Mason. Dr. Edwards and M r. Morbeck accompanied the team to Ypsilanti. is being agitated whether M. A. C. shall make a new agreement with the Normal College for a series of debates. Dr. E d w a r ds would like to see at the Debating Club meeting, Thursday evening at 7 o'clock, all students w ho are inter ested in the matter. We are to be proud of the debating team of 1903 and our great regret should be that no body of students accompanied the to Ypsilanti. Let every one w ho can, attend the Thursday evening meeting. team CONSTITUTION AND BY LAWS OF T H E M. I. A. A. At t he last m e e t i ng of t he Board of Direc tors of t he M. I. A.
