Iloy Fle.thman and Yudath Victor debated the affirmative on the following: 'itesolved, Cnpltal Puulbhment Should Be Abolished In the United State," Carl Iiuum and Carrol Price debated on tho negative side. The ma In points on the affirmative sldu were: Capital punishment doosn't hurt the person punished out does hurt his family.

The main points on the negative side wore: That If a man takes one man's life he should be punished by having hla life taken. It la more economical to kill the man than to lt?t the state keep him :ur twenty or fiility ycare.

With a mighty heave. .Bud bounced a piece of crockery off his dome. After sleeping peacefully for about .ten .minutes, Tom awoke with a, sore head and a wicked look in his eye. He started telling Bud what he thought of him and. although the air began to grow warm, they parted l .the .best of .friends. Bud Reynolds, Vlo Bean, Ralph Floberg and Dave Stoddard enjoyca the trip, or at least the party that they went to whilst they were there. Muriel, you should watch out after Bud more than that.
