The students were four members of the UNC Debate team: the top two-person team, Tom Goldstein and Joy Rhyne, and the second team of Phillip Wertz and Josh Lanning. Based on their season record, Goldstein, a political science major from Columbia, S.C., and Rhyne, a political science and speech major from Hickory, were invited to the tournament as one of the top 16 teams in the country. Dauber, their head coach, and two assistant coaches, Lisa Hobbs and Heidi Hamilton, accompanied them. The four-day tournament began with eight preliminary debates from each of the nearly 70 teams. Each team that earned a record of 5-3 entered the sudden-death elimination bracket, which started with 32 teams and ended with a tournament champion. Seniors Goldstein and Rhyne fin ished their debate career with a 6-2 record in the preliminary debates, a 5-0 victory over Stanford University in the round of 32 teams and, finally, a loss to Campus Calendar Michigan University. "I can kind of equate this with how Hubert Davis must have felt when he played his last game in the NCAA, because it is sort of the same kind of thing," Rhyne said. "I've spent the last seven years of my life preparing, and this is the last time I'll ever debate." Goldstein said: "We spend so much time (debating), it's hard to imagine what life will be like without it because so much outside work is involved." Debators began the nearly daily re search in July after the topic was an nounced. This year's topic centered around U.S. Supreme Court decisions that recognized thataconstitutional right to privacy should be overruled. Debate topics ranged from abortion and pornography to search and seizure. Goldstein said an estimated ratio of the time spent researching the cases versus the time spent debating was 15 to 1. "In the debates at the national cham pionship, it is fair to say that nearly every single thing that has been written about the subject will have been read by the debaters," he said.

Correction In the April 15 Computech insert stories, "Business fraternity shows off latest in computer fashion" and 'Tomorrow's technology displayed at Computech," the group sponsor ing the exposition was incorrectly identified. The correct name of the group is Alpha Kappa Psi. Lanning, a freshman from Charlotte, reached the national championship by placing fifth in the Southeastern Re gional qualifying tournament. "Phil and Josh are so young that is was really an extraordinary victory for them to have qualified," Dauber said. "They were there for a different pur pose. They were there to go through the process of being in the national tourna ment, to get the experience and to get the national exposure." Dauber said she tried to expose the rest of the 12-member team to tough tournaments throughout the year as training. Although they were unable to attend the national debate, the other teammates continued researching to sup port the four competing members. Goldstein and Rhyne had to close the doors on the world of debate after the National Debate Tournament. "I've met some of the best friends that I have known through the activity from different schools," Rhyne said. "You get to know a lot of people and get really close to them." Goldstein said: "Even if a very di verse group of people enter the activity as freshmen, by the time you get to be a senior, and you are on you way out of it, it has really had an effect on your per sonality. People start to think more and more alike." This friendship even extended to the national tournament. Dauber described the scene: "As soon as they got back from one debate, they sat down, and they immediately began working for the next debate. There was tension, yes, and there was competitiveness, yes, but there was a real sense of camaraderie." rr mm Wanna Start Something r) 51 I Q l Carr Mill Carrboro M-F 10-7Sat. 10-6 933-9712 S t ' ywmmmmm.
