University Forensics Team
tackles terrorism in debate
BY ADAM CHERRY
NEWS REPORTER
The University Forensics Team de
bated whether terrorism should be
treated as a crime or an act of war on
Tuesday night in an exposition host
ed by the Concerned Faculty for
Peace and Justice. The debate is the
first in a series the faculty group will
present on issues relating to the
Bush administration’s policies.
Four debaters argued two sides of
the issue to an audience of about
60. Topics included the definition of
the term “prisoner of war,” whether
enemy combatants should be awarded
due process, the importance of secre
cy, and the legal “black hole” status of
the U.S. Naval base at Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba.
Forensics team members were
prepped on both sides of the debate,
then assigned to one of the sides. The
debate followed a parliamentary mod
el, which allows the audience to partic
ipate by shouting, hissing or knocking.
Brad Krupicka and Kara Borden
argued that terrorists commit acts of
war and should be considered ene
my combatants.
"The president has determined
that al-Qaida members are unlawful
combatants because, among other
reasons, they are members of a non
state terrorist group that does not
receive the protections of the third
Geneva convention,” Krupicka said.
“It’s physically impossible to try
(combatants) in U.S. courts because
they are not U.S. citizens.”
“While we support the right to have
civil liberties, these rights will be ulti
mately less meaning-filled if a loved
one is killed in a terrorist attack,” Bor
den said. “We believe in the sanctity of
life above all.”
Jason Lear and Jeannette Schaller
argued that terrorists should be treated
as criminals and should have access to
the U.S. Justice System.
“(Guantanamo Bay) was intended
to be a legal black hole, where de
tainees would be beyond the reach of
U.S. law,” Lear said. “Because they
were designated enemy combatants
instead of POWs, they’d be beyond the
protection of international laws gov
erning the treatment of soldiers.”
“We cannot perpetuate the idea that
due process can ever be denied or that
torture is ever acceptable,” Lear said.
“The enemy combatant status violates
and even mocks the U.S. Constitution.
There is no language in the Bill of
Rights that testifies due process and
protection from torture exists only
for citizens. The word ‘people’ is
used to communicate the universal
ity of these principles.”
The audience was invited to
participate in an open discussion af
ter the hour-long debate.
The Concerned Faculty for Peace
and Justice hopes the forensics
team can be used to educate people
on both sides of the argument, said
Frank Stahl, biology professor emer
itus and spokesman for the group.
“Those of you who have attended
these forums may have noticed that
the speakers tend to be opponents
of President Bush’s programs, espe
cially in respect to the invasion of
Iraq,” Stahl said. “The Concerned
Faculty are concerned about that
because they consider it their re
sponsibility to educate, not propa
gandize the University community."
Assistant Forensics coach Aaron
Donaldson said he was pleased with
the results, but he hopes more peo
ple will attend the next debate.
“We’re growing pretty rapidly,”
Donaldson said of the team.
The team, which now has 20 par
ticipants, has struggled to find a
place for itself in the campus com
munity since the elimination of its
academic host department in the
1990s, Donaldson said.
“Most campuses have it imbed
ded into a department,” he said.

Bakery: Relocation allows for new facilities
Continued from page 1
basketball arena.
“If we’re going to build a new arena,
that will certainly be the site of it, but
there’s no connection between buying
the bakery and saying that we’re ready
to do the arena,” Price said.
However, the purchase does allow
the University to proceed with the
process of determining whether build
ing an arena is feasible for the Univer
sity in the near future, Price said.
“It puts us in the condition where
we can continue to assess the feasi
bility given that we now have our
number one site available to build
on,” Price said.
Price said three additional proper
ties near the bakery — a medical
building, a 7-11 store and a video
store — would have to be purchased
in order to build an arena, and the
University has had “a very limited
amount of contact” with the owners
of those sites, Price said.
“We don’t have any intention to ac
quire those additional properties un
less and until we know an arena is go
ing to happen,” Price said.
The bakery’s decision to relocate to
Glenwood comes just months after
voters approved an urban renewal dis
trict in the area, aimed at stimulating
development in the area.
Price said the relocation of the bak
ery to Glenwood will only add to what
the urban renewal district is de
signed to do and is another reason
why the purchase is so beneficial to
the community.
“It’s very rare that three months af
ter a community passes such an initia
tive you would have a capital invest
ment of this size immediately
stimulating the development of that
district,” Price said.
The bakery’s relocation will also
benefit the company as a whole, Price
said, because it will have new facilities
rather than the nearly 100-year-old fac
tory located at the site now owned by
the University.
“It leaves the bakery with a brand
new facility, modern, with plenty of
room for expansion and with a lot of
hope that ultimately they will grow the
jobs,” Price said.
University President Dave Frohn
mayer and United States Bakery
CEO Bob Albers also commended
the process through which the site
was purchased.
“We are very pleased that we have
been able to complete this arrange
ment, which will make an important
piece of property available for the Uni
versity’s use while preserving a vital
economic asset for our community,”
Frohnmayer said in a news release.
“We were always hopeful that an
arrangement could be made which
would be a win for the community, a
win for the University and a win for
United States Bakery,” Albers said
in the release. “We have achieved
that goal.”
Price said the University has been
interested in obtaining the site
for many years because of its
obvious value to the campus com
munity and its close proximity to
the University.
“That’s essentially the Universi
ty’s front door now,” Price said. “It
really is an important piece of prop
erty to the long-term development
of the University.”
• Price emphasized how happy
everyone involved in the purchase
is because of the array of benefits
that can result from the University
owning the site and Williams’ Bak
ery relocating to Glenwood.
The University has arrangements
with the bakery that allow the compa
ny to stay at the location until a new
bakery is constructed to allow its pro
duction schedule to continue without
interruption, Price said.
“This is the best kind of deal be
cause there’s benefits to everyone
who’s been involved in the deal right
along the way, including the entire
community,” Price said.
