• Ryan Speights, a freshman Honors College, Philosophy/pre-med major attended the tournament in Informative Speaking, Persuasive Speaking and Impromptu Speaking. His persuasion on anti-nuclear war was non-traditional and risky
  competitively. He made quite an impression with a
  thought-provoking and intelligent performance.
• Roun McNeal, a senior Political Science major and our immediate past ASB President presented an equally non-traditional and risky speech on Gene Patenting. Again, many people heard an impressive performance about a little talked about issue.
• 150 ++ in all events - their accomplishments are great. These students are leaders in their fields of study and in various other activities around campus. Their impressive GPAs and commitment to excellence in communication is indicative of the quality student Ole Miss is proud to produce.
