Debate coach John Tredway
described the U of O tournament
as "really well run . . . One of the
good things was that there were
two judges in most of the indivi
dual events," he added.
Tredway also commented on
the then upcoming PSU tourna
ment. "There will be a lot of
Washington schools there, they
are supposed to be pretty good in
debate," he said. Ashed how he
thought Ashland would do he said
"I think we'll do pretty well."
After spring vacation debaters
will be taking on district and
state tournaments to finish out
the year.
Eliminated
said "Students should report to
the office first thing so we can get
the information to teachers first
period."
A master attendance sheet
goes out to teachers first period
with the names of students who
were absent and reasons for their
absence. An update sheet goes
out seventh period with students
who have returned during the day
on it.
Under this system, a student
does not need to carry an excuse
around all day and teachers do
not need to sign them. All
attendance information is on the
master sheet.
Findlay added, "It's coming
along quite well except for some
minor problems." According to
Findlay, the biggest problem is
that "students don't come in first
thing in the morning." "It's also
more work for the office staff,"
he concluded.

members. Right now we have a
lot of people who never come to

an opportunity to see what their
children do at school."

week will give parents a chance
to air their opinions about how
the school is run," added Dave
