/A) To Be
Debate Topic
UNIVERSITY PARK - Farm-
City Week was established in 1955
to promote better understanding
between farm and city residents.
This year brings a ''unique op
portunity to increase this un
derstanding: the national high
school debate topic is agriculture.
From now through June an
estimated 100,000 students from
Maine to California will be lear
ning more about agriculture as
they research the question “What
agricultural policy would best
serve the economic interests of the
United States?”
Actual debates will argue one of
three specific resolutions:
• That the federal government
should adopt an export program to
significantly expand foreign
markets for United States
agricultural products.
• That the federal government
should guarantee an annual cash
income to farmers in the United
States.
• That the federal government
should implement a com
prehensive, long-term agricultural
policy in the United States.
Since each two-person debate
team must be prepared to both
defend and oppose one of three
propositions selected for debate,
they will spend hundreds of hours
studying various dimensions of
topics from defining a commodity
to articulating the impact of
federal regulation on small far
mers. Teams will assemble
evidence to support or dispute a
particular point of view, build a
case to implement a policy, and
discuss a debate strategy.
Agriculture was chosen as this
year’s topic through a long
selection process. Each year, the
National Federation of State High
School Associations investigates
possible topics which are narrowed
to three. High school debate
coaches around the country then
vote for the nationwide topic, and
this yepr agriculture won out over
Congress and Latin America.
Jeanne Lutz, instructor in
speech at Penn State and director
of the Pennsylvania High School
Speech League, says that farm
states pushed hard at the national
conference for agriculture as this
year’s topic. “The timing was
right. In light of its importance and
prominence in the news; you can
see why it was chosen,” she says.
By the time the national tour
nament rolls around in June, there
may not be any more definite
answers to agricultural policy, but
Jens of thousands of young people
will be more aware of how
agricultural decisions affect
producers, processors, and
themselves.
As part of the Pennsylvania
Speech League, debate teams will
have their finals at the Keller
Conference Center this spring, and
the winning team will go on to the
nationals.
The Nina
(Continued from Page BIO)
Nina carried three anchors, a
small boat with six oars, and 11
water casks. According to the
documents, her sails included a
worn mainsail, an old foresail, an
old mizzen sail, and a half-worn
countermizzen sail. The coun
termizzen, which indicates two
masts aft of the main mast, was
Lyon’s clue to the existence of
Nina’s four masts.
Lyon is in the process of tran
slating all 400 pages of the Libro de
Armadas, under a grant from the
National Endowment for the
Humanities to the University of
Florida.
“Unfortunately,” he writes, “it
will not solve the mystery of Nina’s
final end.” The documents record
Nina’s apparent sale to a Diego
Ortiz in October 1499. And that,
Lyon says, is the last glimpse of
the beloved Little Girl.
