SC Debate Team - Winning Is A Habit By Pete Allegre Top: Slew: Halley, Don McKinney, Marilyn Taylor and Ron Gore. Bottom: Hailey, McKinney and Gore proudly display a few of the many trophies they have won at various tournaments this year. Debate has a special history at Southwestern College. The first intercollegiate debate tour- nament was held on this cam- pus in 1924, and Southwestern is a charter member of Pi Delta Kappa, the national debate fra- ternity. Debate teams from here have a tradition of excel- lence that is being carried on by recent teams. The past five years the SC squad has been rated among the top 20 debate teams from colleges with an enrollment of below 2000 stu- dents.

The tournaments that the squad had attended at this writing were those at Garden City Junior College, Northern Oklahoma State College, the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Northwest Missouri State College, Oklahoma Chris- tian College, and Wichita State University. it was at Omaha that the two first place trophies and the coach's award were won; at Oklahoma Christian three speakers' trophies, as well as a fourth place finish, were won.
