Fomalo lnformri4if w luiuy focus of debate at Athenian Society From Staff Reports USC's Athenian Literary and Debating Society closed the semester with a controversial but lighthearted topic: "Women vs. Men: Resolved, women are inherently inferior to men". ? About 55 students attended the debate, and iust over half were men Much of the debating was far from serious. Some of the men accused the women of clearlv h^ino ihp inferior so* At the end of the debate, the vote was overwhelmingly against the resolution, as 39 people voiced opposition, five people abstained arid nine ? all of them men, voted in favor of the proposal, amid the jeers of th? crowd. Jack Hamilton, who argued in favor of the resolution, drew his support from an ^ 1872 U.S. Supreme Court decision which said that men need to "protect and defend" the "delicate" women. "The Supreme Court is the highest court in the land. This is thp law " h*? snirl Hamilton also said this country has never had a woman president or vice-president, and that the Supreme Court recently selected its first woman justice. Women "appear to be incapable of paying for their meals. They insist on wearing high heels" and can't run after muggers. Then they hire male lawyers to defend them, said Hamilton, a law student. But some disagreed with Hamilton. HphoraK Mr AJp/i a wwimii itivi *ivv f u ovpiauiuui v ftwllglldll 4 ft A bott U1L ?
