The top ten speakers will receive awards tonight at the Heart of America Debate Tournament. This presentation will follow a banquet in the Kansas Union marking the end of eight preliminary rounds.
Teams from 39 schools across the nation are participating. A total of 48 teams are entered. Each school is limited to two squads.
MEMBERS OF THE participating KU squad are Robert Campbell, Topeka junior; Sharon
Mahood, Springfield, Mo., senior; Judson Briegel, Kansas City senior, and Jim Klumpp, Topeka junior.

children and give them three square meals a day, keep them healthy, and see that they get exercise," said Ken North, Shawnee Mission sophomore and class president. "Those who don't have parents would be provided for at the care center."
The project is expected to kick off on a state-wide scale early next fall. It will be carried out at the local level through the communities' service organizations.
"PROJECT CONCERN" WAS INITIATED by the sophomore class at KU. A campus fund drive to raise campaign and publicity funds was okayed by the All Student Council last Tuesday.
"This tournament is highly competitive. It's the toughest one I've attended this year," said Campbell, who has weathered ten this year.
"We are counting on our main support from the Jaycees and Lions Clubs," North said, "but this doesn't mean anyone can't contribute."
EACH SOPHOMORE CLASS CONGRESS representative has been assigned a district in the state, and is responsible for contacting all local service groups in that area.
The bulk of the work, prior to the state-wide project, will be done this summer.
Although the sophomore class initiated the idea, North explained that it is more than a sophomore class project.
"IT IS OUR INTENT to make this a university project, expand it to other colleges and universities in Kansas this summer, and from there—a state-wide campaign," North said.
"For the rest of this year," North said, "we will be concerned with collecting funds to support this drive."
North said the class was toying with the idea of a sophomore class carnival which would be the first or second week in May.
GOVERNOR ROBERT DOCKING has sent the Sophomore Class Congress a letter fully endorsing the project.
State-wide "Kick-off" dinners are tentatively planned in Lawrence, Kansas City, Topeka, and Wichita for the first week n October.
"Teams are divided into eight regions and we debate one team from each region," said Miss Mahood.
"This is probably the toughest tournament of its kind. The lower fourth of the teams is dropped and they're not invited back next year," she added. "It's not necessarily the worst team that loses. Good teams can also have bad luck with their schedules."
TEAMS DO NOT KNOW the identity of their opponents until five minutes before each game.
After the final rounds on Saturday the winning team will be announced at 3 p.m.
With 20 or more debates going on at once the tournament has headquarters in the Kansas Union and the rest of the rounds in nearby buildings.
This is the tournament's eleventh year. Anyone may attend the debates.
Fencing meet set for KU Saturday
The KU fencing team will host a four-way meet Saturday at 10 a.m. This will be the final regular meet of the fencing season.
Participants in the meet besides KU will be Kansas State Teachers College, Wichita State University and Iowa University.
The meet will consist of competition with three weapons; the foil, the sabre and the spee. KU will enter three 3-man teams.
The semifinals College Bowl will be held Sunday in the Kansas Union with Hashinger Hall and McCollum Hall battling to remain undefeated.
Hashinger became the women's champion last Sunday when they defeated Miller Hall. This left Hashinger the only undefeated all female team in the competition.
Last year, KU was ranked 13th in the nation in competitive fencing.
