We Hold These Truths, Thorrel Fest

The Gavel of Delta Sigma Rho

What appears to be a small minority of private colleges (no DSR schools) have expressed some concern regarding the suitability of the current intercollegiate debate proposition. Some critics of the question feel that to argue for diplomatic recognition of Red China is to approve its conquests, possibly mislead the immature student and provide communists with propaganda material. None of these arguments seems to have sufficient validity to merit the action proposed—change to another proposition. There has been some effort to make a public issue of this matter, and on October 22 your president was asked by one of the wire …

The Objectivity Of Debate Judges, Robert L. Scott

The Gavel of Delta Sigma Rho

"The problem of securing competent judges of debate is always with us."' This statement is as true in 19J4 as it was in 1917 when Lew Sarett made it. At the turn of the century, however, important personages, governors and judges, for example, were invited or hired to sit as debate judges and to render their decisions. Today the average intercollegiate debate situation is the tournament debate. Two teams debate before a critic-judge, generally a coach from some other school entered in the tournament, who designates the "winning" team and who is often required to give oral or written criticisms …

Oxford And The Cross-Examination Tournament, Robert P. Newman

The Gavel of Delta Sigma Rho

Now the truth is that Englishmen are hard as nails, and quite capable of rigorous activity when necessity demands. Furthermore, the students of English collegiate institutions are not only well-grounded in history and politics, but remarkably fluent (at least the debaters) and flexible. There was no reason, as far as I could see, why a British team should not participate in at least two rounds of an American collegiate tournament, debating our question under our rules.

It seemed particularly appropriate, further more, to ask them to participate in a cross examination tournament, where the format would allow a type of …

The Role Of Delta Sigma Rho Chapters, John W. Keltner

The Gavel of Delta Sigma Rho

Delta Sigma Rho is an honorary organization. A candidate who is selected for membership in the society is chosen because he rep resents certain standards of achievement in forensic activity. Once selected, what is his responsibility to the local chapter and to the national organization? This question has arisen several times in the past and more recently in respect to some of the newer chapters. Let's see if we can suggest several directions that the member and the local chapter may take.

Speech Training For The Physician, Ormond S. Culp

The Gavel of Delta Sigma Rho

Few individuals arc more dependent on rapport with fellowmen than medical practitioners. Patients, relatives, trainees, colleagues and contemporaries constitute a source of seemingly endless inquiries that cannot be ignored. From examining room to county or national meeting, the physician of today is expected to provide lucid answers to perplexing and poignant questions. Yet the average physician is notoriously inept at self-expression.
