Debater Douglas Pierce prepares for upcoming debates . Robin Wittkopf responds to debate cross-examination. Debaters... We Do It If at first you don ' t succeed, try, try again . The 1980-81 debate squad, a program in the Department of Speech, put this statement to the test when they tried to re-institute the team after a three to four year absence. Coach of this year ' s debate squad, Darel Maxfield, and the 15 students enrolled in the class during the fall semester set out to prove that even though the WSU debate team was dropped from the Department of Speech in the past, it could be very successful again. WSU once had a very powerful team. Darel Maxfield said it was one of the strongest in this part of the state. Gonza- ga University, which has a very electrify¬ ing team today, has been said to have built a majority of its power through past Orally! competition with WSU. Three to four years ago, however, des¬ pite the team ' s success, the debate squad faded from the vocabulary of WSU. Although many reasons have been attributed to the expiration of the team, the main one seems to have been budget cuts within the Department of Speech. Maxfield claimed that because of a need to re-allocate money, the team lost most, if not all of its backing, causing its death. With the 1980 budget cuts being pro¬ posed, an unfortunate question has arisen. Will the team started this year fall prey to the same death as the team in the past? Darel said that the squad, because it is one of the newest in the Department of Speech, is low on the list of priorities. If there are any cut backs within the de¬ partment, the team will probably take the loss. Assistant Professor of Speech, Robert Nofsinger, however, gave some encouraging news to the team members when he said that the squad would be available to students in the future as far as he could tell. Although the team represented WSU excellently in its first year of competition against such schools as Gonzaga and Montana State, the outcome of the team at this point is still nebulous. But Darel has encouraged the team from the start not to lose hope, saying that it ' s always darkest before the dawn. And as one debater said, I think things are finally starting to go our way! For once we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
