Devil Takes the Crown - 18th Annual Life Raft Debate

By Jacob R. Chandler

   
     The Life Raft Debate is a highly anticipated annual event for the University of Montevallo, and its popularity only grows with each passing year. The eighteenth year of the debate brought the highest turnout in its history, and that was not the only record set. This year’s winner, Devil’s Advocate Dr. Scott Varagona was crowned the victor for the second time in the debate’s history. This marks the second time in the debate’s eighteen years that a Devil’s Advocate has won. 
 
     Filled with witty barbs and scholarly insights about life itself, this year’s debate was one of a kind. One of the more popular insights came from Varagona himself stating the importance of independence and self-reliance when it comes to surviving in this world. His words struck home with more than a few members of the hypothetical life raft society, ensuring his historic second victory.
