AUGUSTANA COLLEGE SIOUX FALLS, SD Augustana Mirror One team's success story Hard work brings affirmative results by Karla M. Larson Mirror co-editor Training for one of this year's most successful Augustana teams does not involve running laps or performing passing drills, but is every bit as strenuous as that for any other activity. This year's debate squad, seniors Mike LeMay and Chris Moorhead and soph-omores Scott Metcalf and Shane Semmler, knew that they would have a good year, but have exceeded their earlier expectations, said debate coach Dr. John Bart, Augustana associate professor of communication. The LeMay-Moorhead team has won 81 percent of their prelim-inary rounds with a record of 26-6. Overall, they have won 76 percent (31-10), a 14 percent improvement from last year. Bart said that the standard for consideration as a top ten national team is to achieve at least a 70 percent win record. LeMay said that the team was, at one point this season, recognized by some as third in the nation, following only Dartmouth and Georgetown. Having won both rounds against Dartmouth this year, the LeMay-Moorhead team has aspirations of culminating the season with a very successful national tournament, LeMay said. Moorhead and LeMay are in not only their seventh year as debate partners, but their seventh semester as college roommates, as well. The former district champion high school debate team began as freshmen at Millard North High School in Omaha, Neb., and they have debated together since. Bart said they have gathered the experience and reputation necessary for a successful season. "Chris and I know each other's strengths and weaknesses, which can only help us in the debate context," LeMay said, "and we've been able to draw on our past three years of college debate." Of course, behind the wheel of every good debate team's van is a coach with a solid background within the genre. Bart, who has been Augie's debate coach for the past six years, served as assistant coach for two years each at the University of Kansas and Wayne State. LeMay said that he and the squad are grateful to have a chance "to debate under a debate mind who is considered one of the top debate coaches in the nation." He also believes that Bart' s informal approach to coaching has been beneficial to the squad. "John doesn't take coaching as an authority figure--he's one-on-one with the students. Our relationship is very close." LeMay said. Metcalf and Semmler have contributed greatly to the success of this year's squad, Bart said. "They've taken on a lot of the research, which can be quite a burden in a squad our size," said LeMay. Bart and the teams travel to weekend tournaments across the nation during the school year. The tournaments require hours of research in preparation, so a debater often must sacrifice time with friends and family. "The time committments are the hardest part of debate," LeMay said. "It's a very strenuous activity--it's very physically and emotionally draining." LeMay said that most debaters make those committments and sacrifices because they believe they can gain from the activity. "Debating has honed my research and analytical skills, but most importantly, it has helped me to realize that every issue has two valid sides," he said. LeMay said, however, that his favorite part about debate is winning. "It's knowing you're good at something," he said. "It's competition like any other sport." The team travels to the University of Redlands, Calif., for their next tournament Dec. 31-Jan.4. Augie to host American College Theatre Festival by Brian Wilsnack Mirror reporter Nearly 700 theater students and faculty members will converge on the Augustana campus in late January for the 24th annual American College Theatre Festival. "[The festival] is an organization dedicated to the improvement of college theater," said Julia Pachoud, festival coordinator. The region V festival will be held January 21-26 in and will include the Dakotas, Colorado, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri. The Festival is sponsored by the Kennedy Center and is also partially underwritten by the Ryder Corporation. The festival will feature activities such as workshops and competitions in the areas of design, lighting, acting and critiquing productions. Six productions will be represented and the winner will be sent to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. for national competition. Two students will be selected out of 200 for Irene Ryan acting scholarships, as well. In 1990, one of the two winners of the Irene Ryan scholarship was a USD student (chosen from over 1600 competitors). Region V is also known for its support of original scripts. The workshops presented by regional and national profes-sionals will include topics such as stage combat, scenic design, directing, stage movement, lighting and dramatic criticism. Augustana and Sioux Falls College will host the Festival workshops and the Irene Ryan Performance Scholarship competitions. The Sioux Falls Community Playhouse will house all performances and the Evening of Scenes form the Ryan finals. The Holiday Inn City Centre will serve as Festival Central. This year's festival roster includes Broadway Director Gerald Friedman, Czech-oslovakian scenographer Jaroslav Mo)ina and ACTF Producing Continued on page 8
