After the last meet at Brebeuf, the debate team prepares to go on the road yet again for the meet on Oct. 18 against Kokomo.
According to sponsor Amanda Richmond, nuclear energy will again be one of the topics covered. Another topic that will be debated tomorrow is the morality of killing an innocent person to save countless other innocent people.
Unlike the Brebeuf meet, tomorrow’s meet is open to everybody. Joey Baertschi, senior and varsity debater, is one student that will be competing. He will debate on the topics of four Congress bills. According to Richmond and Baertschi, the four bills deal with getting rid of the use of plastic bags, allowing a non-natural born citizen to be president, mandatory health care insurance and U.N. sanctions on Zimbabwe.
Students prepare for the debate in various ways, which for Baertschi also includes helping novice debaters. “The varsity debaters help teach novices how to make effective points, how to refute opponent points, that kind of thing,” he said.
“The meet will be at Kokomo High School at 7:30 a.m.,” Richmond said.
