Debate Club Hosts District III Elims

The Debate Club hosted the District III debate elimination tournament in late March. North Texas' top team comprised of Steve Segal and Alan Phenix was one of the nine teams participating in the district eliminations. At this tournament, four top district teams are chosen to represent this area at the national debate championship tourney held at Brooklyn College.

A 57% win record was racked up by the Debate Club this year. Attending 18 tournaments, the team always placed in the top three positions in sweepstakes.

The Segal-Phenix team had a 66% win-lost record by the time of the district elimination tourney. They attended most of the outstanding tournaments in the country including tournaments at Georgetown University, the Air Force Academy, University of Southern California, Stanford and Northwestern University on Chicago.
