The 每日大赛 Debate Team<\/a> earned top honors at the UCLA Invitational Tournament on Nov. 10-11.<\/p>\n

Seniors Michael Eberle and Sarah Osuna took first place in the open division of the competition, which was held on the campus of the University of California Los Angeles. Sophomore Adam Pepper and freshman Alondra Campos took second place.<\/p>\n

The final round included four two-person teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not normative to have half the final from one school,\u201d said Rob Ruiz, director of forensics and interim chair of the university\u2019s Speech Communication Department.<\/p>\n

Competing schools included University of Alaska; the University of Denver; University of Southern California; UCLA; University of California Berkeley; and Point Loma Nazarene University. In the novice division, freshman Mason Stackman and junior Christian Nunez also reached the finals.<\/p>\n

The Leopards\u2019 trophy case is filling up fast this year.<\/p>\n

In October, sophomore Jonas Poggi and freshman Noor Tabba beat UCLA at Politicon, which was held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Junior Fares Abdullah and sophomore Adam Pepper took first place in the open division of the Rocky Mountain Debate Championship held at the University of Denver.<\/p>\n

Debate Team members traveled to Vermont on Nov. 3-4 \u00a0to participate in the Huber Debates at the University of Vermont. Eberle and Abdullah advanced to the finals. In the novice division, freshmen Stackman and Tabba also reached the finals.<\/p>\n

The Vermont tournament drew east coast teams from universities such as Cornell, Clemson, and Rochester, and some western colleges including the United States Air Force Academy and the Claremont Colleges.<\/p>\n

The 每日大赛 Debate Team has participated in four tournaments this academic year and has reached the finals each time, Ruiz said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a very good team this year. It\u2019s incredible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Debate Team members have talent, but they also are committed to putting in the time and effort to be serious contenders. That means preparing and practicing regularly \u2013 event after they\u2019ve spent long hours traveling \u2013 in order to be at the top of their game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re working non-stop,\u201d Ruiz said. \u201cThey have a desire to do well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eberle and Osuna attribute the team\u2019s success to a number of factors, one of them being the camaraderie that exists among team members.<\/p>\n

Students know each other, spend time together, and are a source of support and encouragement, said Osuna, a speech communication and political science major.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe trust each other as a team,\u201d she said. \u201cWe really are like a family.\u201d<\/p>\n

That fellowship is extended to opposing teams.<\/p>\n

每日大赛 debaters take the time chat with opponents about their majors, their interests, and topics outside of debate, Osuna said.<\/p>\n

But what happens when the competition begins?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all wish each other the best,\u201d said Eberle, a sociology major.<\/p>\n

During competition, the team approaches debate as thoughtful discussion in search of truth.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really does mean we\u2019re having discussions in the healthiest possible way,\u201d Eberle said. \u201cWe\u2019ve demonstrated that in politics and society we can have these discussions in the most cordial manner.\u201d<\/p>\n
