Young Debate Squad Finishes Half of Season With 9 Trophies
The KU debate squad has finished up the first half of the 1964-65 season with nine trophies, a plaque and individual medals after competing in 10 tournaments in the area.
An unusual feature of the debate victories is the fact that most of the debaters are freshmen and sophomores and have been competing against seniors in most of the tournaments, Donald Parson, the assistant professor of speech and drama and squad coach, said.
"This indicates that when our debaters are juniors and seniors KU will have a team that is really going to be hard to beat," Prof. Parson said.
THE SQUAD'S MOST SIGNIFICANT victory came when eight debaters won the sweepstakes trophy at Iowa State. Four two-man teams entered the tournament, in which 96 teams competed.
In the senior division, with one team arguing affirmative and one negative, KU sparred successfully in the octo-, quarter- and semifinals, winning each round. Since both teams had won all their rounds, the KU debaters were pitted against each other in the finals, making a final round impossible.
"This is a very rare occurrence, especially when there are so many teams competing," Prof. Parson said. "Of course, there was no question
then that we would win the sweepstakes trophy."
THE FINAL RESULTS of the Iowa tourney were a first and second in junior division, first in senior division and first place over all.
Squad members who went to Iowa State were: Sharon Mawood, Springfield, Mo., sophomore; Jim Klumpp, Coffeville freshman; Judson Briegel, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore; Louis Floyd, Topeka sophomore; Nancy Wood, Wichita freshman; Bill Sampson, Jim McNish and Bob Campbell, all Topeka freshmen.
There are 28 students enrolled in debate this semester, Prof. Parson said. These students are divided into 12 active teams.
THE DEBATERS ALSO enter oratory and extemporaneous events when they are included in the tournament schedules. Klumpp took third place in extemporaneous speaking and Eric Thurman, Overland Park freshman, took third place in oratory at Wichita State University. The team members took a third place in debate at the tourney.
None of the teams travel to every meet, so each student can compete in at least one tournament, Prof. Parson explained.
Teams have also competed in tournaments at Rockhurst College, Kansas State, University of Omaha, Arkansas University, William Jewell
College, Liberty, Mo.; Southwestern College at Winfield; Illinois State University, Bloomington, and Central State College, Edmond, Okla.
On January 30, Miss Mahood and Klumpp, accompanied by Prof. Parson, will fly to the University of Southern California to compete in a tournament entered by 60 schools. Prof. Parson believes the KU team will be the youngest one there
IN THE FIRST TWO MONTHS of the spring semester, teams will travel to Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill.; University of Nebraska; University of Denver and the National Novice Tournament at Louisville. Kv.
KU will also host the Heart of America debate tournament March 11-13. Prof. Parson calls the tournament one of the most important in the country.
By the end of the spring semester, the debaters will have attended tournaments in 12 states, Prof. Parson said.
WHO PAYS for all the traveling? A forensic budget administered by the speech department takes care of expenses. Prof. Parson explained.
"But we do refuse to pay for any dates among contestants while they are traveling." he said.
Prof. Parson believes that KU's debaters have performed "as well or better than" any of the other Big Eight schools this semester.
Nine to Begin February Studies At University of Costa Rica
A new academic year in a new setting will soon begin for the nine KU students attending the 1965 Study Abroad in Costa Rica Program beginning in February.
In 1958 Rodrigo Facio, then Rector of the University of Costa Rica, and Dr. Franklin D. Murphy, then chancellor of KU, first thought of the program.
"This is considered to be one of the most successful programs of this kind," Francis Heller, associate dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences and head of the program, said.
Another student who will attend the program is Dave Diepenbrock, Shawnee Mission sophomore.
"THE PROGRAM WILL help me to live with Spanish people and to learn my Spanish better," Ralph Loeffler, Kansas City, Mo., junior, said. Loeffler is one of the students participating in the program this year.
"I'm going to gain experience in people to people relationships because these must become the basis for government relations," he said. Diepenbrock is majoring in Spanish

SAIGON — (UPI)— Police fired tear gas, grenades and submachine gun bullets today over the heads of demonstrators backing the threat of Buddhist monks to fast to the death in an effort to topple the government.

The incident occurred outside the National Buddhist Center, where South Viet Nam's "activist" monks pledged an "unlimited" hunger strike against Premier Tran Van Huong's regime.
Initially, about 1,000 persons — mostly women and children—gathered outside the center to back the monks. This group broke up peacefully.
BUT A HARD core group of about 200 youths remained outside the gates of the center. Then they began marching down the street towards waiting policemen and paratroopers with fixed bayonets.
Officers of the 50 to 70 policemen and about 50 paratroopers ordered the marchers to halt. The order was ignored, and the youths began throwing rocks.
The police fired 10 tear gas grenades and also fired over the youths' heads with submachine guns. Police and paratroopers charged the marchers, arresting about 20 and forcing the rest into retreat towards the Buddhist center.
Meanwhile, Huong's new cabinet, including four generals to give it military representation, was presented officially to Chief of State Phan Khae Suu at the Gia Long palace.
THREE OF the generals will give up their military commands to serve. The fourth, Air Force Commander Nguyen Cao Ky, will serve in the cabinet on an interim basis.
