Prof. Schug Guides
Women Debaters
Clayton S. Schug, associate professor of public speaking, this
year celebrates his 20th anniversary as coach of the women's inter
collegiate debate squad at the College.
', Women's debate has greatly expanded during this 20-year
period. In 1931-32, there were just three members on the- squad, and
only eight intercollegiate debatei were scheduled. This year there
are 22 coeds on the squad, and
about 82 debates have been
scheduled throughout the debate
season,
Lois Pulver, women's debate
manager, feels that debating is
one of the most valuable activi
ties on campus. "Debating helps
to develop poise and the ability
to think on one's feet. It also pro
vides an added incentive to keep
ing abreast of vrorld affairs, '
Miss Pulver said. She added that
the trips which the team takes
are lots of fun.
Onen To All
• Women's debate is open to all
coed undergraduates at the Col
lege. Tryouts are held at the be
ginning of each semester. During
recent years, such topics as na
tionalization of basic industries,
federal aid to education, labor
management relations, 'increased
presidential powers, and capital
ism versus socialism have been
debated.
In the 20 years that Prof. Schug
has been coach, the women's de
bate squad has won many first
places and championships in de
bate and forensic tournaments.
In 1950, the women's team won
the title of Grand National wo
men's debate champions at the
Grand National Tournament at
Mary Washington College, Fred
ericksburg, Va. This year the wo
men's affirmative team laced
second in the Grand National
"Big Ten."
Throughout the debate season,
members of the squad travel to
various colleges to attend tourna
ments or to debate individual
schools.- Some of the colleges and
universities against whom the
women have debated are George
Washington, Georgetown, Prince-1
ton, Temple, LaSalle, . Carnegie
Tech, Duquesne, Bucknell, Le
high, Tennessee, Texas, Florida,
Michigan State, West Virginia,)
Syracuse, Richmond, • Rutgers,
Johns Hopkins, and Lafayette.

bates against many men's teams
from other colleges, men and wo
men from Penn State have never
debated together on a mixed
team. Last year, however, the
women's team debated . against
the College men's team.
Prof. Schug recalls many in
teresting anecdotes in his years
as coach of women's debate. Once,
he said, a coed who was scheduled
for an exhibition debate at Rock
view State Penitentiary became
so excited over the prospect of
debating before the prisoners that
she forgot to take her notes along,
and had to debate without them.
The debate coach also recalls
the time when a novice coed de
bater piled 'a stack of notes on the
speaker's stand .A sudden gust of
wind from an open window scat
tered the notes throughout the
audience, leaving the bewildered
coed in a rather embarrassing
position.
One of. Prof. Schug's favorite
stories concerns a coed who was
so nervous at debate tryouts that
she broke down- completely. De-
spite her tears, however, Prof.
Schucr b "had a hunch" that she
had the potentialities for be
coming a debater. He kept her on
the squad, and later she became
one of the College's outstanding
coed debaters.
All members of the women's
debate team are invited to join
Delta Alpha Delta, local profes
sional women's debate society.
Every fall the society sponsors a
tea to welcome new debaters, and
in the spring
,sponsors an intra
mural discussion on a current
issue among coeds at the College.
