Crimson debaters won an unanimous decision over Yale in Cambridge last night while losing a unanimous decision in New Haven.
In Cambridge the Crimson upheld the negative side of the question of immediate desegregation in public schools and the affirmative side of the same question in New Haven.
The winning team of Gerald L. Cherry '56, Edward M. Ginsberg '55, and Richard M. Stenson '56 successfully argued that it was physically impossible and socially undesirable to "require immediate compliance with the Supreme Court decision outlawing segregation in the nation's public schools."
Admitting that "segregation should be ended as soon as possible," the Crimson debaters claimed that the disorder which might follow immediate desegregation would not improve Negro educational opportunities.
In New Haven the arguments were similar and the judges voted unanimously against Arthur J. Goldblatt '55, Alan S. Novick '55, and Jimmy R. Sikes '56.
