Debate activities preserved for posterity The sights and sounds of the biggest event in the history of Washington University will have their own place in history because they have been secured on video and audio tape. Everything from local press briefings to high-level planning meetings were recorded on 30 hours of audiotape by University Archivist Carole A. Prietto. In addition, the University hired producer Andy Ruhlin to record on video the day-to-day happenings leading up to the first presidential debate of 1992. Prietto was called into the project about halfway through preparations and Ruhlin began videotaping on Thursday preceding the debate. Both recorded activities throughout the weekend. Prietto, who shadowed University officials for five days with microphone in hand, will listen to the tapes and edit and prepare them for use by University administrators. She said transcribing the recordings verbatim would be too cumbersome a task. In addition, she also will compile a printed record by cataloging news clips from around the world and gather video materials that were produced by the University. Press packets, including pens, pencils, T-shirts, and all other promotional materials, also will be cataloged and stored. "This will be extremely valuable for the University record because it will help us if we ever host another major event such as this," says Prietto. "By maintaining a complete record, we will be able to learn what issues officials had to deal with at the time and how they handled the issues. This is the biggest event in the history of Washington University. We have never hosted an event of this magnitude, and we need to record it because it's too important to overlook."

19. NAUDL | Policy Debate Overview Overall, its academic impact is the greatest of all the speech and debate activitiesorganized in high schools. Here s how a policy debate unfolds. http://www.urbandebate.org/impact_policydebate

Home About the NAUDL Event Calendar Support the NAUDL News Resource Center Impact of Debate The Educational Importance of Debate Policy Debate Overview What People Are Saying About Urban Debate Organizing Principles Policy Debate Overview The high school debate format used in the Urban Debate Network is policy debate. In policy debate, two teams (each comprised of two students) debate each other about the benefits and drawbacks of a specific solution to a national policy problem. This policy problem is stated as a resolution. In the 2002/03 school year, the national high school debate topic is "Resolved: that the United States federal government should substantially increase public health services for mental health care in the United States." All high schools, including all UDL schools, who compete in policy debate use this same topic all year long. High school students typically debate in their city or region at all-day tournaments held on Saturdays, or Fridays and Saturdays. Participants usually take part in three to five 90-minute debates (called rounds) during the tournament. They may also take part in additional elimination rounds to determine the tournament champions, in a playoff structure. Debate teams must be prepared to debate either the affirmative or the negative side of the resolution. Generally teams alternate between debating the affirmative or the negative from round to round. In addition to competing in the two-day tournaments, many students also take debate classes during the week and spend extensive amounts of their free time researching the resolution and the arguments they will make for and against it. Debaters often spend portions of their summer going to special camps ("institutes") of up to five weeks in length to learn how to become better debaters, speakers and researchers.
