DEBATE TEAM TRAVELS TO TOURNEYS
The Saint Ambrose College Debate Team has established a continually meritorious record in its many
years of existence. The thirty-five year tradition has been
continued during the past year by participation in eight
intercollegiate debate tournaments. In addition to the
tournaments, the College Debate Team compete in, there
is also a Saint Ambrose College Debate Council. This
council organizes and administrates the annual Saint
Ambrose College Invitational High School Speech
Tournament.
The 1965-66 schedule was a very busy one for the
debaters. October took them to Western Illinois Uni-
versity for the Western Illinois Season Opener Debate
Tournament. In November there were two tournaments;
one was held at the University of Chicago and the other
at Bradley University, Peoria, Illinois. The debate team
later traveled to Wisconsin State University for the
W.S.U. Debate Tournament. The new year started for
the men at Western Illinois for the Double Threat Tour-
nament. Iowa City was the next challenge as the State
University of Iowa held a Forensic Conference. The
year ended at Carthage College on March 18 and 19.
