Part of a national organization, the council corre- sponds to similar ones on other campuses. Members of the organization are chosen on their ability to express their ideas as clearly and concisely as possible. Much research is necessary to prepare for forth- coming debates. Outstanding debates of the year included the Wake Forest Novice Tournament, the Tau Kappa Alpha State Tournament at Salem College, the St. Joseph ' s Tournament in Philadelphia, the Cross-Examination Meet at the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh, and the Dixie Classics at Wake Forest. The annual Marshall-Wythe Debate Tournament was held during the first week of February with twenty schools participating. The Council served as host of the event. One prominent feature of the tournament was a reenactment of the historic Stamp Act Debate of 1765. -i 143
