■ bachelor’s degree is worth
more than $300,000 in extra
lifetime earnings for today’s men, and
just half that for women, the Census
Bureau reported last week.
The bureau study estimated that the
1 8-year-old man who gets a college
degree will earn the equivalent of nearly
$8,500 additional per year over that of
his counterpart with only a high school
diploma.
An 18-year-old woman today who
finishes college can expect lifetime in¬
come to be an estimated $142,000 more
than that of the woman who achieves

Top notch Debaters
■he University’s Debate Team has
had an exceptionally good year in
tournament competition.. The two
outstanding teams are comprised of
Jeff Thomas and Doug Cotton, and
Tim Sanders and Larry Panek.
Both teams, seeded among the top 16
teams in the nation , were, recently voted
bids to attend the annual National
Debate Tournament. This year it will be
held in Colorado during the first week
of April.
According to Jay Busse, director of
debate at the University, “[LMU] is the
school west of Chicago to receive two
bids and the only school on the West
Coast to even receive one.”
The Thomas-Cotton team has amass¬
ed quite a listing of accomplishments.
They have taken first place in the Har¬
vard University National Invitational,
they won fouth place in both the Nor¬
thwestern University and Georgia in-
vitationals, and drew fifth place in the
Dartmouth College Invitational.
The team of Sanders and Panek have
also held their own. They have picking
up first place in the LMU Invitational
Tournament, taken third place in both
the Dartmouth and University of Utah
invitationals and took fifth place in the
University of Kansas Invitational.
Since both teams did so well in com¬
petition, they did not have to par¬
ticipate in regional qualifying tour¬
naments. Therefore, their specific
seeding will not be announced until
sometime after Nationals.
Sanders, individually, tied for first
place at the University of Kansas Tour¬
nament out of a field of 120 com¬
petitors. '
Other schools qualifying among the
top 16 through team representation in¬
clude Georgetown University (one
team), Harvard University (one team),
Dartmouth College (two teams) ^ and
Notherwestern University (two teams),
to mention a few.
More than 2,000 teams compete in
the activity and this marks the second
year in a row that Loyola Marymount
has been representated by two teams
among the top teams in the national. ■

Another great year

■ove was the answer for the
hundreds of participants in Loyola
Marymount ’s annual Special Games
this past Sunday as the elements and the
athletes both co-operated.
Loud groans of disbelief were heard
echoing from the living rooms of many-
a-coach’s apartment on Saturday even¬
ing when local forecasters grimly an¬
nounced a 60% chance of rain for Sun¬
day.
But somehow the clouds held back
giving the KNBC television crew the
perfect opportunity to tape their weekly
talk-show Sunday using Special Games
as a back-drop.
The event ran smoothly because it
was a giant success before it ever
started. Over the past few weeks the
athletes and coaches have spent many
hours together preparing for the Big
Day.
At each practice session the coaches
and the support staff creatively coor¬
dinated a schedule of events that enter¬
tained everybody.
At each session there was time for
play, practice, precision, pragmatism,
