The final speaker in
x uui onaj ingiil S Ol'llisn
Union debate compared the
selection of a president to the
selection of what college to
attend, because "both are
going to affect our lives for
the next four years.''
Whether Jimmy Carter
should be re-elected was the
question at this year's first
British Union debate, which
drew a crowd of almost 500
to Capstone's Campus
Room.
At the debate's conclusion,

taken. Two hundred twenty
voted for Carter's reelection,
and 236 voted
against it.
Moderator Carter Kyle
compared the large crowd to
the turnout for a debate last
year concerning the draft.
THE FIRST SPEAKER in
support of Carter, Mark
Swofford, said Carter should
be given a second term
because "Ronald Reagan is
not fit to be president of the
United States,"
Joyce Roundy, the first

president, criticized Carter's

Roundy lost some of her
supporters near the con- !

she said, "The United States
has fallen in esteem - even if
it has kept us out of war!"
She was loudly booed by
Carter supporters, and

doesn't have the "cool head"
needed to solve foreign affairs
problems. Calmes
recalled that earlier this
year me repuDiican advocated
a blockade of Cuba
when the Soviet Union invaded
Afghanistan.
She also mentioned
republican vice presidential
candidate George Bush's
dissension with his running

Jack Watson, the final
speaker, was well received
by the anti-Carter crowd
who cheered during his
speech. He was greeted by
the pro-Carter side with a
rendition of "America the
Beautiful" when he said
"Two hundred four years
ago a spirit was born; a
spirit of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness."
Watson, defending
Reagan's belief in restoring
American military
supremacy, received shouts
of "Pearl Harbor - did you

claimed, "The U.S. has
never allowed a foreign
nation to invade our
sovereign soil."
