argument at the regional speech competition Instead, the pressure
got to her
"She wasn't talking," said junior Ceneiva McNoalo, Eversolu's
debate partner "I don't even think she was breathing I wanted to
say, 'Are you OK' Inhale, inhale
The prc&sum on Evorsolo and McNeale was great The University
Forensic* Program hud won three years in a row in the novice divi
sion at the tournament But Eversole and McNeale were able lo
tako the heat They walked away w ith the I'lrsi-place award for the
fourth year
This weekend was a memorable one lor the program The senior
division team also won first place at the Lewis and Clark Invita
tional. and the program captured the lirst-place award for the tour
nament

pating at the Aztec: Invitational "call us the lop Oregon team "
"It’s very political." MacDonald said "It's just like a sports team
When you're suttessful in the past, they expect you to lie success
ful in tito future "
Forensic tram momfiers >*.>ici they s|H>nd hundreds ol hours in
the library preparing their arguments for tournaments Besides
studying their topics, they also get to know their debate partners
"We've known ouch other a lull two weeks and already she re
minds me of my mother." liversole said of McNeale
junior Lewi I ShtxJd. who is MacDonald s debate partner, said
he's learned his teammate's strengths and weaknesses
"You learn too mm h." he said
junior John I’aul Voillerjue. who was on the senior division team
at the Lewis and (dark Invitational, said it's Important lh.it debate
partners are on the same level

have to learn to think in the same way
Light forensics program members graduated last year said David
Frank. University forensics program dtret lor None ol the I i re
turning members from Iasi year are seniors so their experience on
the team is limited, he said

were deep In our exponent o I tiis year we thought was a rebuild
