DEBATE Another outstanding year in the tradition of Weber College debaters was accomplished this year. The group, under the direction of Dr. Leiand H. Monson and Mr. E. Carl Green, garnered awards in nearly every meet it participated in. Furthering the purpose of rhetorical devices and techniques, these students demonstrated the excellent instruction in the department of debate at Weber College. The high point of the season came during spring quarter with Weber College sponsoring and acting as home team in the national Phi Rho Pi debate tournament. Although Weber didn't win the championship team trophy, Sheri Lee Bunot tied for top honors in the extemporaneous speech division. Several other Weber debaters placed in contention. Schools from eight states in all parts of the nation participated, with Hutchinson Junior College of Kansas winning the team crown. Dr. Monson's outstanding debaters included John Statler and Charles Powell who won about as many awards in dual and national competition as any two debaters in the state. Meets other than the national Phi Rho Pi tournament were won by these debaters with comparative ease as they travelled over five thousand miles throughout the western states. The debate trophy case became jammed about half-season, and the overflow was put in Dr. Monson's office. Already, school officials are planning places to put the anticipated awards which next year's debaters should win. As far as fun and travel go, the most outstanding trip of the year was the one taken to Hawaii during May. The University of Hawaii sponsored this contest, and it was the first one of an anticipated annual series. Teams from up and down the west coast and from the state were represented, and most of these schools were universities or larger colleges. Weber College's debaters did exceptionally well. Leaders of the future come from people like these. Caution, the best policy. Well organized confusion. The debate banquet at Harman's Cafe. Out-of-state debaters. A lunch break for excited speakers.
