The National Forensics League has released the first Lincoln-Douglas and Public Forum topics of the year, a return for LD, and free speech in PF.

A visit to the recycling bin, the September/October resolution is:

Resolved: A just society ought not use the death penalty as a form of punishment.

The September resolution for Public Forum debate is:

Resolved: That the Fairness Doctrine should be reinstated.

Topics will be posted in the forums.

Finally, we have reached the end of the year! Having just arrived home from nationals, I am glad to say that we’re not in Kansas anymore. Nationals was an amazing expirience for the team and for our own 5th place LD debater…John “Wildcat” Helsel! We are all so very proud of him and all the hard work that he put into not only this tournament, but this year in general. Wildcat isn’t the only one who deserves congrats…good job to everyone who made it to nationals, you all did an amazing job. and remember, we need one more qualifier next year, since we’re all looking forward to seeing Mario as a blonde. Since it is the end of the year, I would write one of those sappy “I’m so glad I could be your president” things, but that’s not my style, at least not right now.

Our new leaders for next year, as voted by you, are:

President-Alexis

Vice President- Mike

Treasurer- Minh

Secretary- Stephanie

Social Director- Bree

Enjoy your summers,

Wichita, KS–

The breaks have been posted in Lincoln-Douglas debate, and graduated senior John Helsel is in the pool. This follows on the heels of multiple national appearances at the Barkley Forum, UNM Round Robin, Wake National Earlybird, Florida Blue Key, Harvard, and the NCFL Nationals in Houston.

The coaching duo has released the permission form and travel details for nationals. This slip is MANDATORY to go to nationals in Wichita next week. Please don’t get caught at the airport looking like a fool because you didn’t have your form. The link for the form (along with hotel and air details) is below.
