A. RUSSELL CROFT WAYNE B. HALES JOHN Q. BLAYLOCK Director LELAND II. MONSON DILWORTH WALKER Instructor DEBATING WEBER has won greater recognition in forensic activity this year than ever before. By winning the Intermountain Junior College championship in debating, she has commanded the attention not only of junior but also of senior colleges and universities. In 1927-28 Weber successfully launched two new programs, the first being the addition to the curriculum of a course in argumentation under Professor Monson; and the second, the sending of two debaters on a tour of the Northwest. The class in argumentation met twice a week: once for instruction in theory and technique and once for practice debating. Professors Blaylock, Monson, Hales, Walker, and Croft, of the faculty, met with the class during the practice periods to offer constructive criticism. From the members of the student group the school teams were chosen. In this way the selection did not depend upon "tryouts" but upon the ability of the students as displayed in the regular meetings. Eight members were given the opportunity to debate with other schools. The four chosen to represent the college in the league were Frank Robinson, Winifred McConnell, Frank Rose, and George Williams.
