Debate Team Maintains
Third Place in Nation
By Kathy Prohs
Opinion Editor
Last weekend PCC forensic team
representatives were successful in two
speech tournaments.
In Pasadena, PCC hosted the Pacific
Southern California Forensic
Association tournament. More than 250
people from 33 schools attended the
event.
PCC student Don Applegate won
first place in the senior informative
speaking category. His topic was “The
Great Eastern Steamship.”
In Denver, the debate team of Matt
Brandstetter and Matt Megaro took
third place in the Rocky Mountain
Championship tournament. The
debate team of Gina lovine and Mike
Schultz also took a third-place award.
In addition, Brandstetter took third
place in extemporaneous speaking,
and Miss lovine was a finalist in
persuasive.
These awards helped the PCC
varsity debate squad maintain its
present third-place national ranking in
the Cross Examination Debate
Association. (CEDA) division.
Cal State Northridge is in first place
in CEDA competition; Cal State Long
Beach is second.
PCC’s accumulative point total for
CEDA tournaments is very close to Cal
■State Long Beach’s point total, but
according to Crystal Watson, forensic
coach, it would take at least a tie in the
state championships this weekend to
remove Cal State Long Beach from its
second-place position.
PCC also ranks first in total point
accumulation among all junior
colleges competing in CEDA tour¬
naments nation-wide.
Throughout the semester the
forensic team has placed in the finals
in a number of tournaments.
The team of Brandstetter and
Megaro won first places in the debate
category in competition at Cal State
Fullerton on March 4-5 and at Santa
Monica on February 20-21. They won
second places in debate at the
University of Arizona tournament in
Tucson on February 26-28 and third
place at the February 18-19 contest at
Cal State Northridge. *
The team of Gina lovine and Mike
Schultz won third places in the debate
category at Cal State Fullerton
(March 4-5) and at Santa Monica
(February 20-21). They won fourth
places at Tucson and at Cal State
Northridge.
In individual speaking events
Brandstetter won first places in the
senior extemporaneous category at
Tucson and at Santa Monica.
Wayne Stam won second places for
his after-dinner speeches at Cal State
Northridge and at Santa Monica. He
was also in the finals in impromptu
and informative speaking at Santa
Monica.
The forensic squad compiled enough
points to win second place in sweep-
stakes at the March 4-5 competition at
Cal State Fullerton.
This weekend the forensic team will
send representatives to the community
college state championships in
Sacramento.
The last CEDA tournament of the
season will be held March 31-April 2 in
Reno.
Forensic coach Joe Probst said this
tournament is very important to PCC
because the national CEDA rankings
for the season will be finalized there.
According to Probst, “We have third
place sewed up. We re hoping to take
second or first."
Team member Matt Brandstetter
agrees and states that PCC is in a
strong third-place position. "We have
pretty much sealed third,” said
Branstetter.
Squad members are also quick to

Omicron Mu Delta (OMD), PCC’s
highest service honorary, honored 37
students and seven faculty and
classified staff members last Tuesday
in a ceremony at Sexson Auditorium.
The awards presentation, emceed by
Ralph Story of KNXT’s “This is Los
Angeles" and Christine Lund of KABC
news, marked the organization’s
golden anniversary of service to the
college.
Originally the Order of the Mast and
Dagger, OMD was organized in 1927 by
seven students and one faculty
member at Pasadena Junior College to
recognize the outstanding service of
several individuals.
When PCC merged with John Muir
College in 1954 to become a two year
institution, the name of the Order was
changed to Omicron Mu Delta.
Students and facility nominees must
be recommended to the organization
by other OMD and faculty members.
Students finishing their second
semester of outstanding service to the

2.0 grade point average overall and be
enrolled in 12 units during the
semester they are selected for
membership.
Instructors and staff may be
nominated to honorary standing if they
have donated at least five years’ ser¬
vice to the college beyond the
requirements of their job.

point out that when you compare
Northridge, Long Beach and PCC (the
top three teams in the CEDA
rankings), PCC has beaten Northridge
and Long Beach more often than they
have beaten PCC. This makes the
team hopeful for a shot at second place
in the CEDA rankings.
