Debaters will defend national title
Bv JOHN BARBER
It takes calm nerves and a consistent technique to win the National Debate Tournament. But to successfully defend that victory is even harder.
Staff Reporter
Two University of Kansas students will attempt to do that next month, when they become only the third college team ever to defend the national debate title.
Although they face heavy pressure, Robin Rowland and Frank Cross, Lawrence seniors, are calm. They already know they have the qualities to win.
"You don't enter a major tournament, much less the national tournament, expecting to win." Rowland said yesterday. "I don't expect to want, but it'll be fun."
CROSS IS the quiet one of the two, and lets towward do the talking of the time he was born.
However, Crisis is confident. Although there are many good teams entered, he there are not.
Rowland and Cross spend from 20 to 30 hours a week research this year's national debate topic, "Resolved: That the federal government should strengthen the guarantee of consumer product safety required of manufacturers."
ROWLAND USUALLY uses the Congressional Record for research because, he said, "They say anything in there." Cross uses technical magazines.
Their record this year proves the worth of all their research. They've won first place at four major tournaments and second at two others. They have won every tournament they have entered and have won 121 of 145 rounds, for an 85 per cent win record.
"We are also pressured to do better because of our reputation. Sometimes it helps, but sometimes the judge expects more because we're from KU."
"IT'S NOT that we're better all the time in every part of the debate, but we plan a
Rowland and Cross attribute their success to being better strategists than their rivals.
Both batters ranked among the top 10 speakers at every tournament they entered this year. Rowland won top honors at the Wake Forest, Heart of America, and New York teams. Cross played second place with bird and bird at Heart of America and乌鸦.
This is the third consecutive year they have been one of the 16 teams in the nation selected to receive special invitations to the National Debate Tournament.
AN ADDITIONAL 36 teams were picked at regional tournaments last weekend, and 10 teams will be selected by post-district making a field of 62 at the tournament.
Besides debating together, Rowland and Cross are roommates. They spend much of their social time together, but, Cross said, they never debate spend much time together.
Prentice compiled an impressive debate record of his own while he was an undergraduate at KU. Cross said that even though Prentice had little spare time, he occasionally gave the team advice from his debate experience.
Because Cross and Rowland live together debate is never out of their lives, but that doesn't bother their other roomate, Jim Prentice, Turon law student.

Rowland and Cross have broken the previous KU record of 361 rounds won in a college career, which was set from 1969 to 2014. Rowland and Cross want to reach 400 before they finish.
ROWLAND AND CROSS started their debate careers together at Lawrence High School, where they won the first tournament they entered.
"The rest of the year was a bumpy road downward," Cross said. "We became friends and made a much better record for us, the next two years, but not as partners."
BOTH WILL graduate in May Rowland with a bachelor's degree in speech communications and history and Cross with a bachelor's degree in history and economics.
Despite being out of town on three-day
weekends 15 times a year, both have grade
A reports.
Cross has applied to law school and hopes to participate in moot court competition. He is a graduate of the master's degree in speech communications coach debate at Northwestern University.
They constantly rip one another about their "easy" schedules and groan when they are bullied.
