L: kr h Debate brings a different kind of athlete into play By Alex Hubbard Campus news editor It's Friday night in Tennessee, and the stage is set for a clash. But it is not a high- school football game, and the competitors are not athletes in the literal sense. They are debaters: athletes of the brain who fire words instead of Hail Mary passes. The tournament these debaters are readying for is the first in roughly a decade for MTSU. Hosted by the MTSU debate team, itself only in its second year of full revival, the tournament is thanks to the work of Patrick Richey, an MTSU professor and debate coach. "It was dormant," Richey said of the team in the years just prior to his arrival on campus. "Leadership problems and a lack of student interest. I was brought in to kick it back into gear because it was once one of the best teams in the nation." Richey invited eight colleges from around the Southeast to compete in team and individual debating events. Members of the MTSU team - most of whom will not participate in the tournament - devel- oped the topics to be de- bated in the tournament. Many of those topics have to do with politics, owing to the fast-ap- M I aedate team prepares to talK aout nome scnooling. proaching presidential Photo by AJ Netherland election, but this debate you'll notice that they'll debate, if it's a topic presidential debate is styles of formal debate. competing in front of a is not the kind of thing ask a question, and then about gun control, you just a lot of people talk- This tournament con- judge who analyzes the Mitt Romney or Barack nobody will answer that are talking about gun ing but no actual what sists of a two-on-two arguments, points and Obama will participate question," said Hailey control.
