The Department of English is
sponsoring a debate tournament
in which all teams are power-
matched by a computer after the
first round.
The debate, scheduled for Dec.
3 and 4, consists of a standard
six-round meet with quarter-fin
als, semi-finals, and finals. There
will be two divisions: Junior and
Senior. These divisions mark the
point which makes this debate
tournament different from any
other tournament held thus far.
The first round of debate will
be determined by random selec
tion. From this round until the
sixth round, the teams will be
power-matched on the standard
levels of judgment: Won-loss;
speaker-point; team-rating; and
speaker-rating.
The IBM program has been or
ganized to power-match teams
on each of these criteria.
All the numerical ratings are
then fed into the machine via
“punch cards”. After the IBM
machine matches the strongest
teams together, it determines the
location of the debate and assigns
judges, assuring that the same
judge will not rank the same
team twice.
At the conclusion of the sixth
round the IBM process totals all
team scores and ranks every team
for a total of six rounds.
A copy of this rating is giv
en to every team in the debate
assembly that proceeds the quart
er-finals. Simultaneously, the ma
chine has matched the eight par
ticipating teams.
The unique quality of this de
bate is that each team will meet
its “numerical equal” every round
after the first round. If this-
process were carried out by tour
nament officials in longhand
there would be 45 minutes be
tween debates. The IBM machine
produces the results and matches
the teams in 45 seconds.
“As far as I know this is the
first computer - matched tour-
ment ever conducted,” says tour
nament director Carl L. Kell, di
rector of forensics at Texas A&M
University. There have been
other tournaments in which com
puters have been used, but the
teams were not power-matched.
“With the use of the IBM ma
chines the tournament will be
more easily directed and there
will be more time for association
between students and judges,”
Kell said.
There have been 304 invita
tions sent to schools in 13 states
to participate in the First An
nual “Computer-Match” Invita
tional Debate Tournament.
Other tournaments in the past
have been computer - controlled.
One such debate was at Cali
fornia Technological Institute in
February 1965. The computer
set the round, picked the final
ists, printed the results, yet the
college did not power-match.
The tournament at A&M will
be run by members of Alpha
Alpha debate fraternity. Alpha
Alpha is the A&M chapter of
Phi Kappa Delta the National
Honorary Debate Fraternity.

Cicel Willis, vice president; Tom

Ford Motor
Company is:
responsibility
A key dimension of any job is the responsibility
involved. Graduates who join Ford Motor Com
pany find the opportunity to accept responsibility
early in their careers. The earlier the better. How
ever, we know the transition from the academic
world to the business world requires training.
Scholastic achievements must be complemented by
a solid understanding of the practical, day-to-day
aspects of the business. That is the most direct
route to accomplishment.
Stephen Jaeger, of the Ford Division’s Milwaukee
District Sales Office, is a good example of how it
works. His first assignment, in January, 1963,
was in the Administrative Department where he had the opportunity to
become familiar with procedures and communications between dealerships
and the District Office. In four months he moved ahead to the Sales Plan
ning and Analysis Department as an analyst. He studied dealerships in
terms of sales history, market penetration and potentials, and model mix.
This information was then incorporated into master plans for the District.
In March, 1964, he was promoted to Zone Manager—working directly with
19 dealers as a consultant on all phases of their complex operations. This
involves such areas as sales, finance, advertising, customer relations and
business management. Responsible job? You bet it is—especially for a man
not yet 25 years old. Over one million dollars in retail sales, annually, are
involved in just one dealership Steve contacts.
As a growth company in a growth industry, Ford Motor Company offers
an exceptionally wide spectrum of job opportunities. The chances are good
that openings exist in your field of interest. See our representative when
he visits your campus. We are looking for men who want responsibility—
and will be ready for it when it comes.

Veteran Workers Promoted
By Ag Extension Service
Changes involving two veteran
employees of the Texas Agri
cultural Extension Service have
been announced by Extension
Director John E. Hutchison. V.
G. Young, state agricultural
leader since 1957, has been pro
moted to assistant director and
Joe H. Rothe, district agricul
tural agent since 1954, to state
agricultural agent.
The changes give us strong
leadership in both positions, the
director said, and since both men
have had wide experience in su
pervisory and administrative re
sponsibilities.
Young first joined the Service
in 1934 as an assistant in cotton
adjustment, serving in Borden,
Scurry, Dawson and El Paso
Counties. In 1936 he was named
county agent in Glasscock Coun
ty; was transferred to the same
position in Midland in 1940 and
in 1941 entered the U. S. Army.
He returned to Midland in 1946
holding the rank of Major. He
saw extensive service in Europe
during World War II.
He joined the headquarters
staff in 1947 as a district agent
and served in this capacity until
his transfer to the state agri
cultural leader’s position. He is
a native of Bexar County; a
graduate of Texas A&M and has
completed considerable graduate
work at A&M and also at Colo
rado State, Louisiana State and
Michigan State Universities and
the University of Wisconsin.
Hutchison said Young would
give supervisory leadership to
the Service’s educational pro
grams in rural civil defense),
agricultural information and the
state agricultural agents. The
director said that Young, through
out his tenure with the Service
has shown exceptional ability in
developing and implementing
programs. He cited as examples
the annual County Judges’ and
Commissioners’ Conference held
at A&M and developed in coop
eration with the County Judges
and Commissioners Association
and Young’s many contributions
in developing program plans for
the screwworm eradication pro
gram in the Southwest.
Young will be succeeded by Joe
Rothe, district agent at Richmond
since 1963, and at Weslaco from
1954 until his move to Extension
District 11. The new state agri
cultural leader will be responsible
for the supervision of the work
of the district agents and for
assisting in developing and car
rying out an integrated program
in agriculture and home eco
nomics.
Rothe is a native of Medina
County; a graduate of Hondo
High School and A&M with a
B. S. degree in agricultural ad
ministration. He has completed
graduate courses at A&M and
the University of Arkansas. He
was first employed by the Ex
tension Service in 1947 as as
sistant county agent in Lavaca
