Robert M. O'Neil '56 and David P. Bryden '57 last night won the two Coolidge Debating Prizes. The awards for the best two speakers in the practice debate carry a stipend of approximately $175 and were decided on the basis of last night's practice debates, precedent to Friday night's triangular meeting with Yale and Princeton.
Arguing the negative of the topic, "Resolved: That this house supports President Eisenhower's solution to the farm problem, O'Neil and Bryden teamed with Jared M. Diamond '58 against Cliff F. Thompson '56, George M. Frederickson '56, and Robert H. King '57.
The question at issue revolved around the best practicable methods of reducing farm surpluses, improving agricultural marketing practices, and restoring the farm sector of the economy to relative parity with the rest of the nation. No decision on the winning team was rendered by the two judges, H. Bradford Westerfield, instructor in Government, and Hiram J. McLendon, assistant professor of Philosophy.
