Varsity team captain Kim Hansen along with college debater, Jeff Spears, teach the new Policy students. Cory I commented, hope I can whip my novices into incredibly intelligent LD debaters who can take my place next year. With 39 students in debate, Cory and Kim have a lot of teaching to do. With the debate season the starting in team has much preparation to do in a very short time. Many students have taken time after mid-Octob- school to come to labs being taught by Cory and Kim.

During the past, the debate team has been a very prestigious club and a very hard working class. Although this year seems promising, the debate team has been recovering from a barrage of problems.

There is no cut off day for getting involved, but they would like to have everyone who wants to be in the club to be signed up by the first part of January. CSADD participates in a great many volunteer programs. Last year they were involved with the Spanish and International club in a fundraiser which helped Justin Austin get a wheelchair. There are a great deal of activities that go on all year long in CSADD. Some of their more activities include being involved with making a homecoming float for the parade. They do a great deal of lunch time activities during Red Ribbon Week and they help with Safety Week in the spring, for example. Acacia Davis had this to say about being in CSADD: I really enjoy CSADD its a great way to meet new people and be involved. Those who are interested in joining CSADD should contaet Mrs. Swenson, or someone involved with the club. All that is required is to show up and pay a $5 fee which is to pay for a club. The only other requirement is to have regular attendance in the meetings. w'ell-kno- CSADD officers Acacia Davis and Rachelle Gunderson participate in Rush Week, the time when clubs encourage students to join.
