Debate Rules and the Future of Policy Debate.

Morello, John T.; Soenksen, Roger A.

Argumentation and Advocacy, v26 n1 p11-21 Sum 1989

Advances a justification for instituting limited rules governing the conduct of debates. Contends that declining participation calls for establishing rules designed to minimize the abusive debate policy practices presently affecting policy debate. Refutes D. A. Herbeck and J. P. Katsulas's position on the supposed educational dangers of the debate rules. (SR)
