The St. Ambrose Forensic Society generally participates in two major forensic fields. They appear on
the air over local radio station WQUA, and from their
ranks come the members of the school's debate team.
The debate team's topic for the year was, "Resolved
that the federal government should adopt a policy of
equalizing educational opportunities in tax-supported
schools by means of annual grants."
This year's schedule for the debate team included
five tournaments which pitted the Ambrosians against
some of the best debaters in the country. Highlights
of the season were victories over such renowned
teams as: Marquette, Wisconsin U., Iowa State, Iowa
State Teachers, Bradley, Western Michigan, Loyola
(Chicago), and St. Olaf's.
The five regularly scheduled tournaments in which
the team participated were: the Iowa Invitational at
Cedar Falls (25 schools); Phi Kappa Delta Invitational
at Bloomington, Illinois (30 schools); tournament at the
University of Northwestern (52 schools from all over
the country); Northwest Conference at St. Thomas
college in St. Paul, Minnesota, and the Iowa Conference at Drake University in Des Moines.
