Northwestern U. Takes KUDebate Tournament
Northwestern University won top honors Saturday at the Heart of America Debate Tournament held at the Kansas Union.
The tournament included 21 colleges and universities who competed in a three day elimination battle over the question: "Resolved: That the United States Should Adopt a Program of Compulsory Health Insurance for All Citizens."
Harold Lawson and Gary Sherer from ESTC argued for the affirmative, and Dennis R. Hunt and John Roberts from Northwestern debated for the negative.
DEBATING against Northwestern in the final round was a team from Emporia State Teachers College.
"Compulsory health insurance would be established as a nationwide system which by law would pool risks and resources to pay for medical care," Lawson said.
"A voluntary system cannot, and does not cover all of the benefits which could be derived from a compulsory system.
"FOR INSTANCE," Lawson continued, "Voluntary insurance includes the inadequacies of exclusion because of age, low income, or the 'poor risks.'
"Premiums are not based on the ability of the individual to pay, overhead costs are higher, and necessary items such as mental illness and dentistry, are not covered by voluntary health insurance programs."
His colleague Gary Sherrer continued:
"Our program would cover all medical expenses except unprescribed drugs.
"The cost of such a nationwide plan would be less, and the savings would provide more adequate benefits at a lower cost to the nation as a whole.
"We don't believe it is the obligation of the government to provide the best," said Hunt.
"THE STIGMA of inadequate care is disappearing; 16 states have already adopted such plans. We need to help speed it along with nationwide assistance," he urged.
'We cannot compel people to accept a problem which could lead to the destruction of their freedom of choice. The government already pays one-fourth of the nation's medical bills, and hospital services are deductible from income tax.'
ROBERTS ADDED: "The plan presented by the affirmative is woe-ruelly impractical. We know the theory, but the important step is to consider how exactly this plan could work."

War in Viet Nam Becoming Costly
NEW YORK —(UPI)— One of the nation's foremost far eastern experts warned today that the Republic of South Viet Nam faces its severest test next month in its seven-year struggle against Communist infiltration and terror.
Dr. Wesley R. Fishel, who has spent four of the past six years as a government consultant and adviser in South Viet Nam, said the Vietnamese presidential elections April 9 may well be a turning point in the world's oldest hot war. In 1960 this war claimed the lives of 2,700 South Vietnamese military personnel and civilians and an estimated 7,000 Communist guerrillas.
