Day Five Concludes

The day began with a lecture by Beena Koshy on vocal theory, presentation, and ethics in and outside of debate. After the lecture, labs got the opportunity to work with other staff members in speaking drills and exercises. In lab, David discussed the importance of cutting clear and lucid evidence (to the chagrin of Josh "Jo Shoverton" Overton and Sean "S-Mart" Martin) and students discussed new arguments for their second case. The afternoon was taken up entirely by library time, giving the students time to research new case positions, as well as do their assignments. In the evening, students were given options of partaking in a variety of activities. Students could either work in Maple Hall, watch a demo round between Josh Meah and Shane O'Neal, or attempt to "school" Gary Johnson, Nathan Foell, Matt Levinson, and David Wolfish in basketball. Second cases are due tomorrow night, so students are hard at work. Stay tuned because tomorrow night's update will feature a student interview!
