EVELYN KEITH In debate, the policy of the department hasbeen to afford as much debating as possible for a comparatively large number of students, without impairing the quality of training for each debater. In 1932 six women and eight men constituted the intercollegiate squads. The men's squad included Glen Bachman, Iulian Hartt, Iohn Iackson, Ray- mond Carhart, Harold Semans, Ralph Bower, Clement Van Nice, and Victor Bauman. Bachman completed his fourth year of debating. Hartt and Iackson have debated three years. These three men represented Wesleyan at the Pi Kappa Delta tournament at Tulsa, Oklahoma. Mary Ianet Smith, Iessie Van Metre, Evelyn Keith, Amber Van, Letitia Hahn, and Alice Manon were the Women debaters of the year. All of these were sophomores or freshmen, who should give a fine account of themselves in future years Miss Smith and Miss Van debated in the Tulsa convention tournament ALICE MANON MARY IANET SMITH LETITIA HAHN l , TUMBLEWEED 1933 4-.-.Z Page 108

These included debates with Northern Normal, State College, University of South. Dakota, Eastern Normal, Southern Normal, Augustana, Sioux Falls College, Huron, and Yankton. Practically all of these schools were met both with men's and wOmen's teams. Thirteen of the 27 were mens debates, fourteen were wOmen's. Ten debates, five for the men and five for women were added at the Tulsa convention of Pi Kappa Delta. Due to the economy measures of the year, very few decision debates were had, and some scheduled had to be cancelled. However, a total of fourteen decisions by critic judges during the whole season, including the convention, gave Wesleyan five decisions and our opponents nine. Many of the non-decision contests were Of outstanding excellence, especi- ally those with Northern Normal, State College, and the University. The full program of debate has kept high Wesleyan's position in this phase Of forensics in the state, at the same time giving a large amount of valuable training.
