Debaters To Enter
National Debate
The Grand National Forensic
Tournament for college students
will be held at Mary Washing
ton College, Fredericksburg, Vir
ginia, from March 21 to 25, 1951.
The Atlantic Christian College
debate team plans to enter the
nine rounds of debate which
begin on Thursday, March 22.
It is hoped that some mem
bers of the team, and possibly
other contestants from the col
lege, will enter events In Dra
matic Reading, Poetry Reading,
Oration, and Extempore Speak
ing. Two years ago Dalila Perez
won honors for A. C. C. In sev
eral events.
The beautiful campus of Mary
Washington, the Women’s Col
lege of the University of Vir
ginia, the attractive, finely p-
pointed dormitories, classrooms,
and dining-hall are given over
to the contestants, who come
from colleges all over the coun
try.
Each night there are free
dances for the visitors, with an
orchestra and with hostesses
from Mary Washington College.
The town of Fredericksburg has
very interesting historical asso
ciations. As the tournament
comes during our vacation this
year, the debaters and any
others who attend, will be giv
ing up their spring holidays to
represent the college in the tour
nament, and will be entitled to
some pleasure to offset the
strenuous mental exercise o f
debate.
The ;eam to be entered In
the debates will be composed of:
Wilbur Ballenger, Glenn Brig-
man. Bill Waters, and Bruce
Whitley. The two last named en
tered the contests last year;
they feel that the A. C. team
will be in better shape this year
than last, as there have been
more preliminary debates.
