Debaters qualify for nationals By Sandy Carroll

For the first time in CSU history, two debate teams have qualified for the National Debate Tournament, according to Doug Duke, forensics and debate coach. The tournament will be held at Illinois State University March 26-30. Martin Glendinning, senior, and Drew Duke, sophomore, took first place at NDT districts Feb. 27-29, qualifying for the tournament. Tammy Fleming, junior, and Craig Tomlin, sophomore, placed third and also qualified for the tournament. "I'm exceptionally proud of

these two teams," Duke said. "The hours that were put in before this tournament and the undying determination of these kids gave them the ability to go this far. "It's almost like living in a dream, we hoped it would happen, but we weren't so sure it would." The debate teams also brought home the Robert Denman Traveling Trophy, awarded each year to the school winning the most rounds and ballots at the district tournament. This is the first time since 1972 CSU students won the trophy.

Police arrest student for assault, stealing By Joe Ballew

Student Writer A CSU student has been arrested for trying to steal a car and run over someone. Reginald Mason, 18, 1813 N.E. 20, Oklahoma City, has been charged with attempted auto theft and assault with a deadly weapon, Campus Police Chief Bob Roberts said. According to police reports, at approximately 10:20 a.m. Feb. 26, the suspect was in the East C-1 parking lot. He is reported to have broken the car passenger window, only to run after the car alarm system sounded. The suspect then got in his own vehicle and left at a high speed, nearly running over a student, Roberts said. Charges were filed with the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Department after Mason turned himself into Campus Police.

Glendinning and Duke finished the district tournament with a 7-1 win/loss record. They defeated teams from North Texas State University and Washburn University, Kan. The team acquired 19 out of the possible 24 ballots to place first. "Martin Glendinning has done quite a bit to establish a reputation and foundation for the CSU debate squad," Duke said. "This will be the third time Glendinning will represent CSU at the national debate tournament. It will be hard to see him leave us next year." Fleming and Tomlin came out of the district tournament with a 6-2 win/loss record. They defeated teams from Southern Methodist University, North Texas, University of Texas, Houston Baptist University, Southwest Texas University and the University of Texas at Austin. The team acquired 18 of the possible 24 ballots to place third. "We knew that it would be an exceptionally hard fight to qualify for nationals," reming said. "Craig and I knew we had worked hard and wanted it badly enough, we just weren't sure we could make it. I guess we proved, not only to the other teams, but to ourselves, that we could." Duke said, "I couldn't be more happy. The kids debated well, worked hard and deserved all that they got. Now we'll go get them at nationals."

after Darryl Lanza found his stereo, stolen Feb. 19, in Townsend's apartment, Wooldridge said. Lanza told the Edmond Police he received an anonymous phone call, Wooldridge said, telling him his stereo was at Townsend's apartment. Police discovered an amplifier, tuner, speakers, headphones, a turntable, a cassette deck and a receiver worth $1,400, inside Townsend's apartment, all belonging to Lanza. "When the officers moved the stereo out from the wall to check the serial numbers, they found the marijuana hidden underneath," Wooldridge said. Townsend told the police he was keeping the stereo for a friend, Wooldridge said. He was transported to the Oklahoma County Jail, and Lanza's stereo equipment was returned. Townsend, a junior from Altus, joined the CSU football team as a part-time starter in 1985.
