Mike Shelby and Ruby Daniels have been competing against teams from universities around the coun try, building a record they hope will get them an invitation to the Nation al Debate Tournament. The tournament, held at Califor nia Polytechnic University in April, has never seen a team from Texas A&M. Daniels, 19, is a sophomore in communications, and Shelby, 22, is a graduating senior in psychology. Shelby hopes to be accepted into law school in the fall. Both have been debating since high school. Daniels said there are three ways a team can make it to nationals: — The NDT Committee awards at-large bids to the top 16 teams in the nation on the basis of win-loss percentages, quality of competition and consistency. — The NDT Committee awards five bids to winners at district tour naments. — Finally, a series of 10 second- round bids are given to highly seeded teams failing to qualify at- large or in their districts. “Second round teams are often just as fine as other teams that qual ify,” Daniels said. “It’s just a bit nerve racking to pull out a bid at the last minute. It would be like beating t.u. in the last seconds of a game. ” This past weekend the varsity team traveled to Baylor where they competed against 64 teams and placed fifth. The junior varsity team placed 19th. Since September the varsity team has competed in 11 tournaments, placing first at Texas Tech, Oklaho ma Christian College and Central State University (Okla.) tourna ments; placing second at Emporia S INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PANCAKES I HOP INTE _ Z H m a ALL YOU CAN EAT SPECIALS MON: Meat Sauce 3-10 pm Buttermilk Pancakes FRI: Fried 10-6 pm 3-10 pm $ 2.99 5 1.79 $ 2.99 ^ SUN: ’ 10-6 pm $ 1.79 We welcome to go orders on regular menu items Call Ahead 846-7073 *BRING THIS COUPON FOR OUR NEVER EMPTY COFFEE POT aaiNi saMVONVd jo ssroh ivnoiivnubini University (Kansas) and the Univer sity of Southern California. Wayne Kraemer, director and coach for the debate team, feels they have finally made it. Kraemer, along with Bruce Daniels, the assistant coach, spent almost every weekend at tourna ments last fall. “It gets tiresome, but it’s worth it,” Kraemer said. Debating is expensive, Kraemer said. One tournament can cost a thousand dollars when plane tickets for three or four people are figured in. The club has a budget of $13,000 a year, but this does not include the evidence they must collect. Between Shelby and Daniels, they have six briefcases, three files and eight note books filled with evidence copied on the library’s copy machines. “The budget is not what I’d like it to be, ” Kraemer said, “but consider ing history and our growth stage it’s adequate. I just hope it meets our needs in the future.” Shelby and Daniels both receive a $500 scholarship to compensate for the money they spend collecting de bate evidence and speaking at tour naments. Their next tournament is at the University of Houston Feb. 13. For better grades, spend less time studying. W1I show you how...free.
