Debaters Cover Much Ground In Many Ways
By BOB NOLD
Join the debate team and see the United States while gaining invaluable experience as a speaker.
The Jayhawkers attend about eight tournaments a year, which take them to many of the nation's finest universities. Some of the outstanding ones visited in recent years have been Iowa, Purdue, Wisconsin, and Texas.
They also have attended college invitational tournaments at Southwestern college, Winfield, Kan.; Pittsburgh State Teachers college and Emporia State college.
The debaters do two kinds of debating. One is at tournaments, the other is before audiences.
Their objective is two-fold. In tournament debating, the purpose is to train students to use reasoning and logic in a speaking situation and, in audience debating, it is to train students to use logic and psychological appeal in an argumentative manner.
