Democrats Unable To Prove GOP 'Inability' At Debate
"Resolved: that the originators of the statement, "Peace, Progress and Prosperity," are not best suited to bring these to the people" was the resolution debated by representatives of the Young Democrats and Republicans at a meeting of the KU-Y (YMCA-YWCA) Thursday night.
The debate centered around the inability of the Republican party to offer Americans the "Peace, progress and prosperity" promised by them. The final tabulation of the English style debate showed the negative side, the Republicans, the winner by a large majority.
William Hagman, Pittsburg senior and John Eland, Topeka first year law student, took the negative side, defending the present administration against Jayne Callahan, Cleveland, Ohio, senior, and Leonard Parkinson, Scott City sophomore. Herbert Horowitz, Kansas City, Mo. third year law student, was the moderator.
Parkinson described the present administration in four ponits: 1) It bluffs and then backs down; 2) It has lost some of the U.S. prestige in the world; 3) There has been a gain in Communism in the world in the past four years, and 4) There has been an undermining of bipartisanship of foreign policy.
The stand of the "unemployed intellectual from Illinois" on the continuation of thermo-nuclear testing and the draft were the main points stressed by Eland. He said that Stevenson has not stated when or how he would bring about these things. Eland concluded his talk by saying that Eisenhower "shines brightest when he's compared to Harry Truman."
Miss Callahan stressed foreign policy during the eight minutes she was allowed. She informed the listeners that President Eisenhower was not solely responsible for the ending of the Korean War anymore than Woodrow Wilson was responsible for ending World War I, and that "the foreign policy of the United States is being carried around in the brief case of secretary of state, John Foster Dulles."
Hagman cited the beginning of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare as a progressive step taken by the Republicans in the past four years. He also said that there have been fewer strikes, more employment and more coverage by Social Security legislation.
In his rebuttal Eland's main point was that in 1947, Truman's choice for the Democratic nomination in 1948 was Dwight Eisenhower.
Parkinson's main points in rebuttal were that 25 per cent of the small businesses went bankrupt in the last administration and that there have been a 33 per cent increase in mergers.
Tau Sigma Initiates Five New Members

The club worked an hour on dance routines. They danced to "Four Beat Swing," a recording by Freeda Miller, and "Ritual Fire Dance."
Hagman, in his rebuttal, attacked Miss Callahan's remarks concerning the popularity of the U.S. and Eisenhower abroad. His statements were backed up by Jane Heyle, Kansas City, Mo., senior, in the audience, who having spent the last year in Europe, said she was treated very hospitably during her stay.
