TwinsThinkAlike OnArtofDebating
Two of a kind, that's fine, especially when the two are twin brothers. Bill and Bob Ward, who make up one team on KU's debate squad.
The old axiom that two heads are better than one has proved correct when applied to the twins. "We read each other's minds sometimes in debates. It proves a definite advantage to us," said the twins.
IN ONE debate, Bill had misplaced a quote card which he needed badly, so he looked over to Bob who was already pointing out the lost card.
Debate coach, Donald "Doc" Parson said, "Being twin brothers does give them an advantage since teamwork is so important in a debate. Each brother has confidence in what the other will save."
BILL, WHO is four minutes older than Bob and makes a point of it, said. "The debate program has developed my personality more than any other activity that I have taken part in—more than any single influence in my life. You are forced to express yourself which ultimately leads to the expression of your personality. Tolerance is a key virtue learned in debate—you are able to understand other people's thoughts and ideals."
Bob said, "One must be careful of analytical thinking. It opens one's mind but makes it definitely harder to make decisions. Debate makes one's thinking objective and analytical, but this style can antagonize people. If used wisely it can be an invaluable aid to one's scholastic life."
BILL AGREED and added that "it is an aid to one's total life."
Bob and Bill Ward have been debating together since their sophomore year in high school. Now as KU sophomores they still debate and have various classes together.
TOGETHERNESS is a key to their lives for they have various common interests: golf, interest in the Model UN, and work in the United Campus Christian Fellowship. Both belong to Alpha Tau Omega.
The Wards are different, distinct individual. They are not identical twins. While Bill believes that he will enter the School of Business and possibly law school after graduation, Bob is undecided but leans toward teaching, possibly philosophy or theology.
IN FORENSIC speaking Bob does the oration while Bill takes extemporaneous speaking. Both maintain A—averages.
New Rule Can Draft 'Less Apt' to Service
WASHINGTON—(UPI)In another move to fill the ranks for Viet Nam, the Defense Department has lowered mental fitness standards to assure a uniform for most high school graduates who pass their physicals as drafteres or volunteers.
Of the more than 100.000 men given pre-induction examinations each month, about 46 per cent currently are rejected—half for physical and half for mental reasons.
The action, first since the Korean war, is designed to increase enlistments by 25,000 men a year. And it could add 100,000 or more annually to the nation's draft potential.
The new standards, announced Thursday, will go into effect Nov. 1 for drafttees or those trying to enlist in the Army, Navy and Marines. The Air Force, the only service not using the draft, will continue to use present mental standards.
