delivery and less formal style of
diction than those in Oratory.
Neither do they have to evidence
strong personal commitment a-
bout their topic according to
.Brown.
Tournament rules allow each
Extemporaneous speaker to sub-
mit thrco topics on which he is
prepared to speak. After a five
minute talk on the topic selected
by the judge the preceding
speaker will ask one question.
Each speaker will be Judged on
the quality of his speech and the
relevancy of his question to the
other speaker's topic.
Drown explains the Manuscript
Speaking contest as a "recogni-
tion of the fact that there arc
some situations so demanding
that the speaker needs to work
from a manuscript." Speakers are
allowed 10 minutes and are judg-
ed on four points: (1) choice of a
timely significant subject (2) de-
velopment and dramatization of
the central idea (3) manuscript
handling and (4) delivery.
Entertaining Speaking was ad-
ded to the schedule last year after
being omitted for several years.

Brown said "The tension of the
times demands wholesome hu-
mor." These six minute specchs
will be generally light and hu-
morous with perhaps one serious
thought as a theme or concluding
device accoVding to the tourna-
ment rules.
Six preliminary debate rounds
will be this afternoon and Satur-
day morning with final rounds
beginning Saturday afternoon.
The 100 entered debate teams re-
present schools from Missouri
New Mexico Kansas Arizona
Tennessee Oklahoma and Texas.
Three debate divisions are Sen-
ior Junior and Women's.
In order to make debate "more
justifiable as an educational ex-
perience" Brown said power
matching will begin with the
fourth preliminary round. He ex-
plained that power matching Is
the matching of storng teams a-
gainst equally strong teams on
the basis of each team's win-loss
record for the first three rounds.
He aded that power matching
"tends to even up win-loss rec-
ords and the caliber of competition."
