KU debate lacks funds
By DAVID POWLS Staff Reporter
Not even the KU debating squad can talk the University of Kansas out of a foul.
This year's 50 percent cut in operating expenses for the debate program is intended to
"We've driven to tournments that we used to fly to, we've cut tournments and we've slept on some of the more uncomfortable floors in America," Donn Parson, director of forensics at KU, said yesterday. "We've even begged free housing at tournments."
GEOFF HETLEY, St. Louis senior,
said the debaters are generic foods at
the University of Missouri.
"We were allowed $2 per meal when we were freshmen," Hettie said, "and we did."
He said that without sufficient travel funds and scholarships next year, KU would have trouble recruiting new debaters.
"People want scholarships," he said,
"and if KU hasn't got them, some other school will."
Parson said KU's debate program, which began in 1925, could lose its national prominence if the budget cut was repeated next year. The cut affected all departments in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
He said fewer scholarships would be available to debaters next year.
"WE CAN TAKE a stagger one year," he said. "But if those cutbacks are long term, then the future of the debate program is in jeopardy."
Student support for the debate program has been good, but alumni donations have been less than expected. Parson said.
The forensics program received $8,500 this year from the college's operating expense fund. Parson said, "This program receives $17,000 from the fund."
The Student Senate gave the forensics program $10,100 this year, $5,000 more than last year, he said. It allocated the additional money because the program needed more money to continue.
Parson said many of KU's competitors in debate had programs with which he was prepared.
KU canceled appearances at six tournaments last semester, and one more will be canceled this spring because of the reduced budget, he said.
"WE HAVE the talent to send two teams to the National Debate Tournament again," he said. "The question is who can best win against with enough tournament experience."
The National Debate Tournament Committee selects the top 16 teams in the nation each year and gives them automatic bids to the tournament. In 1982, two KU teams were given automatic bids.
KU has sent 42 teams to the national tournament during its 36 years, Parson
NEXT WEEKEND, KU teams will travel to the University of Utah tournament at Salt Lake City, Utah, Parson said.
This year's debate topic is whether the United States should interfere in Syria.
KU debaters took top honors at two tournaments last weekend.
The team of Paul Leader, Derby junior, and David Rhala, Salina junior, took first place honors at the University of Nebraska tournament Leader was the second-ranked Leader was the ninth, and Helley, the 11th.
At the Pittsburgh State University tournament, the team of Eric Christensen, Nampa, Idaho, junior, and James Reed, St. Louis sophomore, took third place in the senior division. Reed was the first sophomore to win Aaron, Wichita freshman, and Richard Gumm, Bonner Springs freshman, won fourth place in the junior division.

Moore wants to send students here for American studies. Herzfeld said.
KU students will study a variety of disciplines at Hull, including English, health administration and music, she said.
Students may apply to study in Essex or Hull, England. A third program in Aberwyseths Wales, is awaiting applications. KU general counsel, said yesterday.
In cooperation with John Tolellson, dean of the School of Business, and Clive Emmanuel, a visiting professor of business from Wales who left last summer, Herzfeld arranged the exchange program at Aberwystwyth, she said.
"Wales has a warm spot in my
heart. We've always wanted to
start a program."
The program at Aberwyswyth was sparked by Herzfeld herself, however.
Herafeld said she had studied in Wales when she was a college student.

beginning of the fall semester and must have at least a 3.9 grade point average to qualify for the programs, Herzfeld said.
Herrfield said KU would send one student to Essex, four to Hull and two to Leeds.
The new programs were prompted by England's popularity with study-abroad students and by the high tuition charged to KU undergraduates who go there on other programs, she said.
Students must be juniors by the
She said the program at Hull was conceived by a professor from England who taught English at KU on a Rose Morgan professorship in 1954 and 1955.
Tuition in England is between $6,000 and $7,000 a year.
Although KU students must pay their own room and board, the cost of an academic year in Britain should be about the same as a year at KU, she said.
But under the new programs, British students would pay tuition to their own schools before coming to Kansas, and they would be sent to the KU in-state tuition. Herzfeld said

Scotland.
About 15 KU students are studying under these programs, she said, but only one of those universities, Stirling, exchanges undergraduates with KU.
Herzfeld said study exchange programs with Britain were popular because they did not require students to know any language other than English.
Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, said he was happy about the new
"I'm a great believer in study abroad programs," he said. "Otherwise, KU would be a land-locked, provincial institution."
KU STUDENTS' studies at Aberwystyh include business and visual arts. Herzfeld said.
