KU debaters prepare for weekend competition
By JENNIFER ROWLAND
Staff writer
Searching through brown file folders at a table in the debate team squad room at Wescoe Hall, Barry Pickens didn't have much time to talk about a debate tournament at Georgetown University this weekend. He was too busy preparing for it.
"This is the panic time." he said. "The three days before a tournament are when you really scramble to get things done."
Pickens, Winfield junior, is one of 26 debaters at KU who compete in pairs at regional and national tournaments during the year.
This semester, KU teams have taken first in tournaments at Vanderbilt University, the University of Northern Iowa and Johnson County Community College. At the University of Kentucky, a KU team placed fourth. At the University of Missouri-St. Louis, a team placed
fifth. KU teams placed second, fourth and fifth at an Emporia State University tournament last weekend.
Erik Doxtert, Ft. Collins, Colo., senior and president of the debate team, said the team's success this semester could be attributed to his leadership since 1964. Don Parson, professor of forensics.
"I think the main reason we are good as a team is the coaching we've received." Doxiadtak
Parson said, "In debate, KU is competitive with just about anybody. I think you take some pride in that."
"When I came here I never thought I would do it for three years or five years or anything," he said. "I suppose you do it until you don't enjoy it anymore."
Dan Lingel, Belvidence, Ill., senior, said he wouldn't have come to KU if the debate team
hadn't had such a good reputation.
Parson said KU had sent more teams to the National Debate Tournament than any other school in the nation. Right behind KU are schools such as Northwestern University, University of Southern California and Dartmouth University.
Peter Cannistra, Brooklyn, N.Y., junior, saithe psyched himself up before tournments by staying up the night before doing research and organizing his notes.
The week before a tournament, KU debaters practice more than 25 hours in their first floor room in Wescoe. The room's walls are filled with plaques and awards the team has won in past years. Stacks of library books and briefcases full of research clutter the tables.
This weekend, debaters will compete in tournaments at Georgetown University, Colorado College and Southern Missouri State Uni
versity.
Two tournaments that KU debaters compete in, the National Debate Tournament and the Cross Examination Debate Association, have a different topic that tournament participants argue during the year. This year's NDT topic is whether the United States should reduce its commitment to NATO. The CEDA topic is therefore covert aid to Latin America is desirable.
The NDT, which will be at Weber State University in Provo, Utah, in March, pits 60 top national teams against each other. A KU team would then play tournament four times, most recently in 1983.
With the team's record looking bright this fall, KU might be a contender for a national title.
But after a pause he said, "Only time will tell that — time and a lot of work."

Head gear

Hispanic high school students to meet role models at workshop
Staff writer
The symposium, which will feature Hispanic leaders from across the country delivering speeches and leading workshops, will be from 8:30 to 10:00 at the Kansas Union. Its theme is "Education: The Door To The Future."
More than 500 Hispanic high school students from across Kansas are in Lawrence today to attend the second annual Kansas Hispanic Youth Symposium.
Ernie Garcia, a KU graduate and former former arm at the U.S. Senate, will give the keynote address to Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole.
Mary Padilla, Overland Park senior and president of the KU Hispanic-American Leadership Organization, said the purpose of the symposium was twofold: to encourage Hispanic high school students to graduate and then to go to college.
"This is not a recruitment," she said. "I don't care where they go to college, just as long as they go."
Two members of Gov. Mike Hayden's cabinet, Esther Woolf, secretary of aging, and Dennis Taylor, secretary of human resources, will speak Lee Droegemueller, commissioner of defense, also will address the conference.

The symposium was at Kansas State University last year.

Counseling offered to students in need

e models at workshop Mall hearing planned
Zimmer said although the center did not counsel students, workers often suggested counseling after an initial appointment.
"I don't know if it is any easier for a student to come here than a formal counseling center." Zimmer said. "I hope it is."
College years can be some of the most stressful times in a student's life, and the University of Kansas tries to recognize that by providing places where students can talk about their problems, says Lorna Zimmer, director of the Student Assistance Center at 121 Strong Hall.
"There are a lot of demands being placed upon the student by teachers, parents or whomever." Zimmer said. "Our job is to see whether the student has the problem with the University directly and then how we can help them."
Padilla said she and several other HALO members had attended last year's symposium and were so impressed by the work that they wanted to have the next one at KU.
The daylong symposium will include role model presentations and workshops.
Mental Health Clinic at Watkins Memorial Hospital.
He said staff members were available without an appointment for students in crisis situations. Students can make special arrangements to counsel in groups after the death of a student or tragedies involving many students.
Although career planning makes up 50 percent of the University Counseling Center's appointments, Lichtenberg said his office also received students with personal problems from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
By a Kansan reporter
For instance, Lichtenberg said staff members had special sessions last spring with the friends of four students killed in a cat-train accident.
"Many times it takes away the student's motivation and concentration. A student needs those two things to get through school." "Zimmer said, 'If we can provide a way for students to retain these two things, then we are a service to them.'"
Zimmer said assistance was especially important for students in times of grief. She said many students were unable to deal with their grief.
Students will be able to hear about the careers of Hispanics who will be attending, including Richard Ruiz, Kansas City, Kan., city councilman, Maria Antonia, Kansas City's KMBC-TV morning anchor, and Philip Garcia, a reporter for the United Press International bureau in Washington, D.C.
Services for student set
Mr. Van Eeckhoute, 20, was found dead early Monday morning on his garage floor. A car was left with its engine running in the garage, and Lawrence police said that his death was an apparent suicide.
Funeral services for Ronald L. Van Eeckhout, a St. Louis junior majoring in architecture, will be at 9:30 a.m. Friday at the Holy Family Church in St. Louis.
He was found by a neighbor who was on his way to work. The neighbor
notified Mr. Van Eeckhoute's roommates, and the three men tried to resuscitate Mr. Van Eeckhoute and called police. Mr. Van Eeckhoute was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Mr. Van Eeckhoute is survived by his father, mother and a sister, all of St. Louis.
Friends may call from 2 to 9 p.m. at the Southern Funeral Home at 6322 S. Grand in St. Louis.
The second public hearing on three proposals for a suburban mall will start at 6:30 p.m. today at the Central Auditorium, 1400 Massaua courts 81.
The first hearing on Oct. 7 did not include time for public comment. Tonight will be different, city officials said.
By a Kansan reporter
Price Banks, planning director,
said that the city staff would continue
 their report on a request by Cleveland developer Jacobs, Viscensi and
Jacobs. The city recommends denying VJJ's request to rezone a 61-acre site at Iowa Street and Armstrong Road.
Public comment on the JVJ request will be next, followed by closing comments from JVJ.
Time permitting, the Lawrence/Douglas County Planning Commission then will begin hearing reports on a proposal by local attorney Colliester requesting the rezoning of a property in Stath Street and Wakarua Drive.
But Banks said that it was unlikely that the commission would get through that and a third proposal by the agency would not, a third hearing will take place.
The commission will not make a decision on any request until all three proposals have been heard.
