And with that guideline set teams from
both the schools debated whether Ford
should be re-elected Monday before a
packed crowd in the Russell House
Ballroom, that hooted and yelled while the
debaters discussed the policies of Ford and
Carter, and made cracks about Mondale's
looks and Ford's coordination.

ones receiving wisecracks, however, USC's

Modeled after the Parliamentary debates

t Union debating was made popular at Oxford
i University in the 1820's. It first began at
use in 1974.
i Each team is allowed two speeches to
I convince the audience of their position, with
i speeches alternating so that first a "Pro"
i opinion, and then a "Con" is heard. Then the

"I think you should vote against Carter."
Donald McCartney of USC praised Ford's 1

"Which Jimmy Carter will occupy the White 1
House if elected?" he asked.
Clemson's William Ellenberg, arguing <
against Ford, said that the debate topic calls
only for the return of Ford to the office of the 1
presidency?it doesn't specify in which <
capacity. 1
He said that, "We could return Gerald
Ford to office as a hatrack or as the overseer
of Earl Butz's mouth." s

Ellenberg said that while "Gerald Ford is
lot a leader," Carter would be a moral
eader and would "tear down walls dividing
-aces and religions."
His teammate Cindy Hall added that
barter intends to work with Congress instead
of against it. She said that he would v
;ake executive initiative to get what the
/oters want.
"We need a person who will respond to the
iemands of the people," she said.
She answered the charee on Carter's
/agueness stating that while many people
complain of this, few can cite examples of
lis lack of specificity.
The Department of Theatre and Speech
