色花堂app鈥檚 Rupp Debate Squad continues their season鈥檚 success last weekend at the Hunt Classic Invitational Debate Tournament in Portland.

Bengal Debaters reached the semifinal round in Junior Varsity International Public Debate and the quarterfinal round in Varsity IPDA. Freshman Jonathan Stoneback (Pre-Law, American Falls)was bumped from a seat in finals while arguing the negative 鈥淎irbnb is bad for business鈥 against a Boise State speaker. Senior, and second place winner at the IPDA National tournament in the spring, Joseph Tyler (Pocatello) ran into a bit of trouble nearing the end of competition on Sunday morning. Tyler affirmed the topic 鈥淭he US Government should significantly restrict the use of micro-transactions within video games.鈥

Coach Sarah Partlow-Lefevre said 鈥渢eam unity and cooperation was amazing this weekend. The debaters worked together as a team to help Joseph and Jonathon prepare for their elimination rounds. When one ISU Debater succeeds, it truly is a win for the whole team 鈥 our preparation, practice, and spirit all come together to create great outcomes.鈥

Over 45 teams from 18 universities attended the competition. The Bengal鈥檚 next competition will be a Public Debate on campus November 3.
