Debater puts team goals before personal triumph
by Kathy Walsh
Kansan staff writer
Barry Pickens has achieved something that no one else at the University of Kansas has ever accomplished.
Pickens is the only debater in the history of KU forensics to go to national competition four consecutive years.
"Considering the quality of debaters we've had, that's remarkable," said Donn Parson, professor of communications and director of forensics during Pickens' first three years at KU.
Parson said that Pickens was very bright and well-motivated, "He's an outstanding debater," Parson said.
outstanding teacher. Parson said.
The respect between Parson and Pickens is mutual.
"He has been an inspiration in my career." Pickens said.
Pickens, Winfield senior, said that he came to KU because of the school's tradition of excellence in forensic competition.
This year, Pickens is rated sixth in the country as an individual speaker. Last year, he was ranked second.
As president of the squad, Pickens places greater importance on team success than individual speaker awards.
"I've always thought that team competition was what was important to me," he said. "Individual speaker awards are nice, but it's more important for me how we do as a team and as a school."
This year, two KU teams went to nationals at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. The two-man teams were Pickens and Charles Krauss, Wichita minor, and Pat Whalen, San Antonio, Texas, senior and Peter Salmieri, senior, each with 71 points. The KU squad returned home ranked fourth in the country.
Having two teams place high at the nationals this year was quite an accomplishment for the squad and the University, Pickens said.
Robert Rowland, director of forensics, said that Pickens was one of a number of good debaters at KU. He said that he had seen improvement over the past two years in Pickens' argument of what arguments to debate.
"I think Barry has a good combination of persuasive skills, strategic choice making and argument analysis." Rowland said.
Pickens has been debating since his sophomore year of high school. He won the individual team competition in Kansas his senior year.
"I was a pretty shy speaker when I started out." he said.
Besides helping him express himself confidently, Pickens said, debating would be helpful in his future career. He plans to go to law school in or at the Georgetown University or at the University of Texas at Austin.
Because of his interest in debate and his high school success, Pickens said that when he came to KU, he was asked why he couldn't could compete on the national level.
"I've missed a few things," Pickens said about the amount of time he has spent preparing for and going to work. "I'm pretty happy, with debate overall."
"There's the satisfaction of the competition. You get a lot of satisfaction from being successful."
Local lawmakers enjoy time off
by John P. Milburn
Kansan staff writers
A two-week break has given legislators from Douglas County a chance to rediscover life outside of Topeka.
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, said that the time off had given him the opportunity to spend time with his children.
He said that he was spending the rest of his time in his law office attacking piles of legal work that had accumulated while he was at the capitol. Still, he said that he was devoting more than half his time working on issues that remained in Tooneka.
"I have my staff working on the issues, and I think they will be able to help calm things down for a while." Winter said.
He said that the staff was a blessing and helped to bring about a more normal sense of chaos.
Winter's duties have increased because of the illness of State Sen. Gus Bogina, L-Renexa and chairman of the committee. Winters assumption the winter. Winter has assumed the
Legislators were given a two-week break at the end of the regular session, which concluded Saturday. During the break, however, committees will meet to conclude any unfinished business.
Charlton said that she would return to Topeka on April 24 to discuss rapportionment. She said that she would also attend a Federal and State Affairs Committee meeting on April 25.
"The Federal and State Affairs Committee is one of the committees that can still bring up bills during the break," Charlton said. "Something new may come out of the committee that we will have to address."
Charlton said that final action was taken on most of the appropriation bills at the conclusion of the regular session Saturday.
"I've been just as busy, but I don't have to drive to Topeka," Charlton said.
Charlton said that the overspending could cause more problems when the topic of reappraisal is brought up.
"We still have to address the large items such as highways, reapportionment, reappraisal, the omnibus bill and the financing of prisons." Charlton said. "It will be interesting because the Legislature has already overspend the Governor's recommended budget."
"There may be talk about possibly delaying the effects of reappraisal or providing more local property tax relief."
"I think you're going to hear a lot more about reapraisal before the session is over," Charlton said. "When the legislators return home they will be hearing complaints about reapraisal from their constituents."
Charlton said that either of those measures would be difficult because of the budget overruns.
chairman position of that committee and has been working on the prison issue before the wrap-up session begins April 24.
State Rep. Betty Jo. Charlton, DLawrence, said that the break had allowed her to catch up with personal matters. Yard work, car care and care for her horses are on her agenda for the two-week break.
