In the last six contests Simmons

laet n-atli and the ariaty Hd not
was With North Texas State Teach-
ers College ot Denton at Dehton in'
which Serti Morris and Elmer Atwood
won a unanimous decision.- The ques
tion was: Resolved That the Coneti-
tutien of the United States ehoMld
be so amended as to give .Cengrees
power by a two-thlrde vote to over
rule a decielon of the Supreme Court
which hnnuls an act tof Congress.
Simmons upheld the. negative aide of
the question.
Sam Morris is at this time- presi-
dent of the O. & D. Council. He was
last week elected president of the
Texas State Oratorical Association.
Mr. Morris -has been aetive in de
bating in Simmons for three years
having represented the college lAsi
year in two debates.
Elmer Atwood has the distinction
of not having been defeated in a de-
bate for the last three years in Way-
land College and Simmons. He was
prominent in. literary and oratorical
life of Waylarid before entering Sim
mons.. He was tho editor of the Way-.
land yearbook The Jackrabbit last
year.
Rolfe Barnard and Gray Browne
representing the affirmative side of
the above stated question lost the de-
cision t6 thO team' from Durant Nor-
mal in the debate held at Abilene Hall'
the same night the former team won
at Denton. Mr. Barnard who with
W. A Foster won 'the Literary So-
ciety loving cup last spring is a
speaker and reader of considerable'
ability. Under the coaching of Prof.
L. Q. Campbell and tho instruction
in reading and expression of Miss
Hpbgood he has without a doubt
earned the recognition he has re-
ceived. The last debate Simmons versus
Louisiana College held at Abilene
Hall April 10 resulted in another
unanimous decision for Lawrence
Fitzgerald and Woodie Fcathcrstonc.
The subject: Resolved: That the
United States should recognize the
Soviet government was very ably
discussed from the negative point of
view by the Simmons men.
Mr. Fitzgerald while 'classified as
a freshmap this year is considered
one of the best debators in Texas. He
and Will Sutton were winners of the
annual Sophomore-Freshman debate
in tho fall" qiiartor and Mr. Fitzger-
ald has had several years speaking
experience.
Mr. Featherstone who hns been a
member of the O. & D. Council for
three years and who has studied in
the public speaking department prov-
ed himself worthy to represent Sim
mons
" Professor Campbell head coach of
the men's debating teams assisted
by Professor Richardson has been a
great factor in the successes in de
bating this year. Their untiring ef
forts- through knowledge and capable
coaching deserves much praise
Miss Naomi' Hatton unanimously
won the decision over Baylor College
April 9 in which contest she delivered
an oration on "Abraham Lincoln.'-'
Miss Hatton is a member of the Wo-
men' Oratorical and Debating Asso
ciation under the coaching and direc
tion ot Miss Irma Campbell and has
figured prominently in the speaking
department during her four years 'in
Simmons.
There are two possibly three moro
intercollegiate debates to be held Re-
presentatives from the Women's O.
ft D. are to debate Louisiana 'and
Howard Payne.
Misses Thelma Andrews and Era
Rudd meet Louisiana 'College tonight
at Abilene Hall; Resolved That the
United States should grant .complete
independence to the Phillipiries withiq
five years is the question.
Misses Willie Swafford and Lota
Clyde- Head are to debate the same
question with Howard Payne; May
-4. The winner of this debate will
meet the- winner of the Baylor' Uni-vereity-Bayler.
College contest which
is to be held soon.
; All of the women debators are
working hard and with the extended
experience all of them .have had we.
may aitpect mere victories.
