Long research hours pay off for debaters
Debaters spend as much as 35 hours a week on research, but according to some students on the University of Kansas forensics team, it has been well worth it.
"Debate tournaments are a lot of fun," Jeff Brinton, Topeka junior, said yesterday. "It gives us a chance to travel and to know a lot of people from all over the country."
Walt Kennamer, Scottsboro, Ala., freshman, said he must work on debate five to six hours daily. At the first of the semester, he spends 35 to 40 hours a week were devoted to debate.
Judging by debate results, the long hours of studying have paid off. The foresters team, under the direction of Donn Parson, has had a very successful season this year.
The KU team traveled to the University of Wyoming at Laramie Oct. 2, through 4 and to Greeley, Colo., Oct. 5 through 6 for a tournament sponsored by the two universi-

The team traveled to the University of Kentucky at Lexington Oct. 10 through 12. The team of Lawrence Juniors Robin Rowland and Frank Gross had six wins and two losses in the preliminary rounds, then Georgetown University in the octa finals.
In addition, the speakers are rated individually each round. Donovan said, given the conditions, he is confident.
Donovan said a debate tournament began with eight preliminary rounds. A team usually must win at least six of those to advance to octa finals.
"These are called speaker points and are compiled during the preliminaries," she said.
Grad classes make progress
For a program that wasn't expected to draw a large number of students, the Capitol Complex Program (CCP) is doing pretty well, according to its director, Marvin Harder, professor of political science.
When CCP started in the fall of '74 as an off-campus graduate program for state employees, no one could make a reliable prediction on the public interest in the program, or on the upcoming enrollment, he said last week.
"We guessed 25," Harder said.
"Eighty-seven enrolled in the fall of 1974 and about the same number enrolled in the spring of 1975."
CCP's a seven course are now taught to 100 students enrolled in CCP's Master of Public Policy Program.
The students represent about 30 state agencies and include people from the Menninger Foundation, Blue Cross-Blue Shield, local government employees of Shawnee County and people from the private sector, he said.
Harder said the CCP program had some problems. One is class size. Between 18 and 25 students are enrolled in each class, and Harder said that number was too high. The classes are taught at the state capital building, and space there is limited, he said.
Despite space limitations, Harder predicted expansion of the CCP program. A vacuum had existed, he said, because Washburn University offered graduate courses only in education. CCP helped fill that vacuum, he said.
Another factor Harder cited in his prediction of CCP expansion was the convenience of classes. Classes are scheduled in late afternoon or in the evening, and classes don't interfere with the employee's job, he said.
"We bring the resources to them, rather than having them to come to the resource provider. He hard said.
"Continuing education seems to be taking hold," he said. "Education should be the kind of endeavor to which people can intermittently avail themselves."
Harder said most of the students in CCP were from middle-level managerial positions in government. Therefore, they must have at least $75\%$ the material taught to them, he said.
"That's their principal advantage over on-campus MPA students," he said.
is the best debater at the tournament."
When the team traveled to Texas Tech University at Lubbock, Oct. 10 through 12, Sherry Wolfe, Blue Springs, Mo., freshman, was first speaker, and her partner, Tami Sullinger, Pittsburg freshman, was second speaker.
Wafle and Sullinger won for first place with another KU team, Shelly Scranton, Hutchinson freshman, and Don Green, freshman. The third place KU team won the three place sweepstakes award.
Also at Texas Tech, Ed Duckers, Salina freshman, won first place in ex-temporaneous speaking while Jay Howard, Salina freshman, won third place.
The team was in Emporia last night.
Donovan said most of the students had debated in high school. At the University, they enrolled in a course called "Practicum in Forensics" for one hour credit if they want to debate. Most students will quit if they find they can't handle it, she said.
Clean air week's topic
The Kansas Lung Association this week is sponsoring "Clean Air Week" in Lawrence to inspire public interest in air conservation programs.
"Clean Air Week," which is sponsored annually in all 50 states, primarily serves to provide the public with information about air pollution and respiratory health.
Dorna Jensen, director of information for the Kansas Lung Association in Topeka, said yesterday that the week's activities would mostly include radio announcements and press announcements about what the Lung Association was doing in its air conservation programs and how citizens could become involved.
"It's basically an educational campaign," she said.
Topeka and Kansas City, Kan. have also proclaimed this week as "Clean Air Week," Jensen said. Not all cities were asked by the association to recognize the clean air week applications are simply promotional devices or draw attention to the program, she said.
He said the city's proclamation showed community support of air conservation activities. However, the city isn't presently involved in any of the activities.
"We're just supporting that group, saying Yes, that's a good cause," Wildden said. "They are the ones who promote and carry out the activities."
Mike Wilden, assistant city manager,
said a lawyer will be involved in any
work activities.
In addition to the air conservation information, the Lung Association also furnishes schools with educational material and visual aids on the environment, Jensen
"We're concentrating mainly on water pollution." Wildstein said.
The University of Kansas will host a leadership conference Dec. 6 and 7 which will draw student body representatives from all disciplines, offsiders, student body resident said yesterday.

schools that were attempting to establish a campus transportation system. Rofs said that "KU on Wheels," was the most accessible transportation to, from and within the campus.
The meeting, the first of its kind, was arranged by the student body president of the University of Nebraska. Rolfs said.
The central location of KU was a primary factor in its being chosen for the meeting site, he said.
