By Eva Galipeau Douglas Duke, CSU's debate coach, has been selected to direct the debate competition at the Pi Kappa Delta Bi-Annual National Forensics Tournament, April 13-19 at Estes Park, Colo. Duke's responsibilities at the event include bracketing six rounds of debate and tabulating results in four divisions — Cross Examination Debate Association, Lincoln-Douglas, traditional and open division. "I consider it a priveledge to be singled out by my colleagues for this honor," said Duke. "This is a tremendous responsibility and I am honored that I was chosen." The tournament, which is held concurrently with the national convention of Pi Kappa Delta, collegiate forensics society, draws over 700 students from more then 100 colleges and universities nationwide. Students compete in individual speaking events as well as debate.

Nine CSU debaters will be competing in the tournament which will culminate their 1983 season: Rhett Davis, Chris Wood and Martin Glendinning, sophomores, and David Widdeos, freshman, in open division; Bev Graham and Eva Galipeau, sophomores, in CEDA; Mark Kinze and William Lemaster, freshmen, in traditional debate and Jim Hill, senior, in Lincoln-Douglas debate.
