Trojan Debate Squad Demonstration
As the first chartered student organization at USC, the nationally ranked award-winning Trojan Debate Squad celebrates its 125th anniversary with a public debate on the topic: Resolved: The U.S. military should be the primary agency to oversee and administer future natural disaster relief within the United States. Writes Julie Carver, assistant director of forensics, "We chose this topic in order to focus on the recent disasters in a productive way that emphasizes solutions instead of blame. I am working with the debaters to make sure that the debate keeps a positive tone and that their rhetoric appeals to a broad audience." Students attending USC who were displaced by the Hurricane have been invited to sit in and comment on the debate. The students participating from the Debate Squad include Davis Lawyer (a participant in The Scholar and a political science major), Laila Zomorodian (music), Megan O'Dell (vocal arts and history) and Joshua Sharp (communication). Reception follows.
