Forensics teams bring home the West Point sword

Posted Oct. 25, 2012

Two forensics policy debate teams traveled to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point Oct. 20-12 and came home having won the entire tournament. Sophomore Ameena Ruffin and freshman Korey Johnson comprised one team, sophomore Kevin Whitley and freshman Lenny Herrera the other. Both teams won four debates and lost two debates, allowing them to advance to the octafinal round of the tournament as the 6th and 7th seed respectively. Each team won their octafinal round and then their quarterfinal round, setting them up to debate one another in the semifinal round. As is standard procedure, rather than debating, the team as a whole decided who would advance to the final round, and Kevin Whitley and Lenny Herrera, the 7th seed, were chosen to compete in the tournament finals.

In an historic round, Kevin and Lenny, both students of color, debated two students from Rutgers University, who were also both students of color. This created a final round comprised of four debaters of color who were all debating in a “non-traditional” and performance-focused style, which has been partially pioneered by Towson University coaches and debaters throughout the last decade. Lenny and Kevin won the final round on a 4-1 decision, and returned home with the coveted West Point Sabre, a traveling trophy that Towson University last won in 1998. The West Point tournament is special not only for the traveling sword trophy, in existence since 1967, but also because the final round is judged not by debate professionals but by West Point Officers and professors who are experts in the debate topic.

For Kevin and Lenny’s final round, the panel was composed of five energy policy experts, chosen because of the debate topic: RESOLVED: The United States Federal Government should substantially reduce restrictions on and/or substantiallyincrease financial incentives for energy production in the United States of one or more of the following: coal, crude oil, natural gas, nuclear power, solar power, wind power.

In addition to winning the final round, the team also won several speaker awards. Korey Johnson earned 10th speaker, KevinWhitley earned 5th speaker, and Ameena Ruffin earned 4th speaker at the tournament.

Assistant Professor Amy Bree Becker spoke on WBAL-TV regarding the social media fallout after Mitt Romney's "binders of women" comment during the second presidential debate that aired Oct. 16. The response on Tumblr to the comment has been remarkable, Becker told WBAL reporters. "It seems like social media keeps some of these stories kind of going, and it is a really democratic way for people to participate in the discussion," she said. "Anyone can post a photo on Tumblr or post a Tweet that then gets retweeted and shared." Dr. Becker specializes in political communication, public opinion and media effects research. She is currently teaching a Towson Seminar titled "Popular Culture and Politics: Comedy, Entertainment, Celebrity and Democracy."
