National Figures Debate at Ole Miss The sparks flew when the University of Mississippi hosted a debate on September 13, 1989, for William F. Buckley ' s television program Firing Line. This debates format pitted four leading conservatives — Buckley, Jeane Kirkpatrick, Newt Gingrich, and Jack Kemp — against four top liberals — Gary hart, John Kenneth Galbraith, Patricia Schroeder and George McGovern. The chosen topic Resolved: Free market competitiveness is best for America prompted some fiery argument. The debate was broadcast live from CM. Tad Smith Coliseum on the public bradcasting network. More than 5,000 attended. Rob Waters said in analysis in the Daily Mississippian that the dbate had something for everyone — laughter, drama, sparkling repartee and sometimes an inspirational message. Debators discussed numerous topics such as free trad« as it related to worldwide economic competition, the state of the nation under Carter versus its condition after Rea- gan, and projects such as housing and FDA. The night ' s debate consisted of a high level of intensity, with each team ' s arguments punctuated with jabs at their opponents. All the panelists agreed on the need to draw the lin where government intervention should begin — and end. After Buckley ' s closing remarks, the more than 5,00G member audience responded with a standing ovation. Following the event the public was able to attend aii open reception at the coliseum and were able to meet the debators and collect autographs. In a press conference, Buckley said he might bring Firing Line to Ole Miss again — if invited. • - by Amy Vincent TECHNOLOGY.
