Most of the other universities and colleges Miss Welleiver is familiar with have women debaters, but she says that women are definitely in the minority. Last year a woman debater from the University of Houston, Tex., was top speaker at the West Point National tournament.

"By the time young people of this generation reach college age, they will think society is something that looks after them," Prof. Walter M. Kollmorgen, chairman of the geography department, said recently in a Daily Kansan interview.
"As children they were pampered. In school goodie-goodie teachers inoculated them with the ideas of a welfare state. So they are saturated with it."
"Young people have no self reliance. They are getting soft because they are shielded from work."
