Debaters find early success
The KU debate squad has found a winner in the topic of whether the United States should increase its foreign military commitment.
BvPAMHOWARD
Staff Reporter
since the debate season begin a few weeks ago, KU debaters have brought home trips to the country in tournaments in Kentucky, Illinois and North Carolina.
Paul Johnson, Denver senior, is one of the debaters who has won awards nationally. He said, however, that he was the same. Debating is just good fun to him.
Zac Grant, Manhattan junior and Johnson's debate partner, agreed. Grant said he enjoyed the friends he had made among the squad members and the debaters he had met at tournaments.
Grant said debating not only was fun but also helped him in school. He said that all the research he did for debate material taught in his classes.
Johnson said that on the first day of class one semester, he found he already had read all the books for a political science course.
The squad now is preparing to host a tournament Nov. 7-10, said Donn W. Parson, professor of speech and drama and director of KU forensics. KU's
annual Heart of America debate tournament will be in the spring.
Johnson and Grant described the psychological warfare involved in debating. Johnson said he had found he was wrong with other debaters because of his height.
He said dress was not very important to a good debater because the judges did not really notice.
"They're writing so much they don't
have a chance to look at you," said
Johnson.
Grant said that to keep from getting scared, it was necessary to think that everything his opponent said was stupid and ridiculous.
"You can't be mellow about people's arguments," he said.
Sometimes the team has to use strange arguments because of evidence that is not readily available.
"You have to learn to defend a repugnant position and make it look like the honorable thing to do," he said.
Johnson said he got nervous
named that nervousness was constructive.
"You get nervous and you get excited you talk faster," he said. "It help."
Johnson and Grant both said they had had many embarrassing moments during their debating years.
Grant said he once was on his way to Emporia for a debate and had a flat
ire. While fixing it, he ripped the seat out of his pants. At the debate, just as he had figured out how to hide his backside, his ipper broke.
Johnson said he once got his quote cards mixed up and started to read his evidence in reverse order.
Johnson and Grant also have seen other debaters in embarrassing situations.
Grant said one of his opponents was reading from a sheet of paper that had been written on with a felt-tip pen. The student kept reading faster and faster, and when Grant looked at the page, he noticed the student was racing his own sweat down the page before it blurred his writing.
One thing Grant and Johnson said they liked about the debate squared at KU that there was no rivalry among the members. All members research the debate topic and copy important information for everyone.
The debate squad is unusual this year, Parson said, because it is made up of most freshmen and sophomores.
"When you have freshmen and sophomores who are doing well, it holds great promise for the future," he said.
