TOPICS:
Round One: This House prefers residence halls to off-campus apartments.
Round Two: This House would ignore all campaign ads.
Round Three: Case -- Molly is running for mayor and is in a tight race. A group completely unconnected with her campaign has started running ads and distributing flyers around town which level accusations against her opponent. Molly knows that these accusations are false, but they are helping her - polls show that they are swaying people against her opponent and in Molly's favor.
The Government team must support this proposition:
Molly has a moral obligation to repudiate the false ads publicly.
.
Bronze Round: This House would stop the madness.
Gold Round: This House would say to the tenure system, "You're Fired!"
