They practice in America. One benefit of attending these summer institutes is that it reduces the time students take out of schoolwork to prepare for debate. Cottonwood High School senior Cammon Turner explained, I really enjoyed doing research without being in school when you have to try to cram it all in. Doing the work in the summer lets you relax the rest of the year. In audition to helping stuuents with their debating skills, the summer workshops gave students the opportunity to experience going away to college. They lived in campus dorms, studied in lecture halls, learned to take notes from college instructors and spent hours doing library research. Their responses to the college experience were, for the most part, pos th itive. Cammon explained "We got the inside feel of learning in a college at- in high school, where not everyone Christine Tebben felt that the quality of instruction students received at the workshops made the whole expe rience worthwhile.

He did, however, make it to Disneyland one weekend and said worksnop organizers did show movies to entertain the students Saturday evenings. One of the younger Utah students who attended clinics was Cottonwood sophomore Julie Perryman. She said she hadnt expected the clinic to be quite so difficult. I was really surprised at how hard it was, but it impressed me that all the students were willing to work so hard, as opposed to Hill-cres- st extra-curricul- Because of the structure of the summer session, students received more individual guidance than is possible in school. After each lecture students were divided into small groups called laboratories. Each "lab group had an instructor who gave them individual research assignments, taught debate theory and methods of constructing logical arguments. The instructors, ar ty. "Debate makes you think logically and critically, said Richard Wadley. He claims to have learned more in debate than in any other class.
