Early in the morning on September 7th, five students and three professors left to attend the annual Kansas Speech Communication Association's conference in the state's capital of Topeka.
The students attending the conference were: seniors Eric Arganbright and Amanda Little; and juniors Jeriah Forbes, Steve Johnston, and Noah Shook. Of the five students, all but Little presented communication analyses, a speech that examines an event based on a communication theory.
The three professors attending were: Mr. Gary Harmon, Professor Barbara Marshall, and Dr. Jack Morris. Harmon spoke at a session on bridging the gap between high school and college debate. Marshall spoke on the issue of uniformity between college speech classes. Dr. Morris discussed the convergence of newspaper and broadcasting.
Among Kansas Wesleyan, were a variety of other colleges and high schools represented. Local Salina High School Central forensics coach Nicholas Owen lead a session titled "Keeping a Competitive Program Alive and Well," and rival debate and forensics director at Sterling College, Ken Troyer, was in on the same discussion as Harmon.
Anyone in the field of communications can join the Kansas Speech Communication Association and attend the conference held once a year in Topeka.
