Trades tropics for Kansas
Student awaits snow
By MARK RIMMER
Sam Elscoe, a KU foreign student, has lived most of his life where it is impossible to get more than two and one half miles from the sea.
Elscoe is from Aruba, Netherlands Antilles, an island 19 miles long and five miles wide. It is 18 miles off the coast of Venezuela.
LAWRENCE IS the only city in the United States Elscoe has really visited. He passed through
Puerto Rico; New York, N.Y.; Philadelphia, Pa.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; Detroit, Mich.; and Kansas City, Mo. on his way to KU.
"America is different from what I am used to," Elscoe says. "I am amazed by the effect the Jet Age seems to have on Americans—everybody is always going somewhere in a big hurry."
Elscoe, a sophomore majoring in chemical engineering, went to a small school in Triridad, British West Indies, for his first two years of college.

Debaters go 3-3 in KC
The KU debate team, in its first debate of the season, ranked seventh out of 42 participating schools in absolute speaker points but did not place in competition in a tournament at Rockhurst College in Kansas City this weekend.
Although they had enough points, they were unable to compete in elimination rounds because they lacked one round, according to Don Parson, assistant professor of speech and drama and debate coach, explained.
THE KU TEAM, BOB CAMPBELL, Topeka junior, and Bill Ward, Wichita junior, won three rounds and lost three.
"Two of the three rounds lost were in debating for the affirmative and against teams that went into the elimination rounds." Campbell said.
This year's question is "Resolved: That the United States Should Substantially Reduce Its Foreign Policy Commitments."
Campbell said, "We listened to the finals and there weren't any teams that came up with a good strong argument for the affirmative. The words in the resolution, 'substantially reduce,' are too vague to build a strong case for the affirmative when the United States is involved in the world situation the way it is today."
Ward said: "We learned a lot from this tournament. Our negative case is good but we'll have to build a stronger case for the affirmative."
Four teams will be sent to debate in a tournament next Saturday at K-State, and one team will be sent to participate in University of Northern Illinois' Homecoming Tournament at DeKalb, Ill., next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Parson said.

"I'm really looking forward to the first snow," he says. "In Aruba we always sing 'White Christmas,' and I'm looking forward to seeing what one is really like."
Elseco has enjoyed associating with the International Club. "Not only are the members friendly, but the organization helps you get your feet on the ground," he says. "Because foreign students live in an unfamiliar environment, they tend to be more understanding of each other's problems."

His other interests include playing softball, strumming a guitar, collecting stamps and swimming.
ONE OF ELSCOE'S favorite hobbies is football. "I didn't like football at first, because I didn't understand the sport," he said. "Now that I know the fundamentals, I'm a real Jayhawker fan."

"I have never swum in fresh water before, and I greatly anticipate going for a swim in Robinson's new pool," Elscoe says.
