Postscript to Experiment 030

JCCC debate team ranked 15th in nation

TIME TO SHINE by ~Wolframclaws on deviantART

“The JCCC debate team was ranked 15th in the nation in the most recent set of national rankings produced by the Cross-Examination Debate Association.

The team is ranked ahead of traditional debate powerhouse schools such as Emory University, Wake Forest University and Harvard and ahead of regional institutions including Missouri State University, Kansas State, Wichita State, University of North Texas and Baylor.

Rankings are determined by the number of preliminary and elimination rounds teams have won at tournaments they have attended. More than 100 member institutions are included in the report.”

A resolution to be debated is to what experiment I could be writing a postscript.

Scoots World by *Iopichio on deviantART

“The Quivira Road to eastbound I-435 ramp is scheduled to reopen to all traffic sometime during the day Wednesday, Nov. 21. The ramp has been closed for reconstruction work since Wednesday, Feb. 29.

In addition, all permanent traffic movements will be in place at the I-435 and Quivira Road interchange sometime during the day Wednesday, Nov. 21. This means that all ramp and all permanent lane (including turn) movements on Quivira Road at the I-435 interchange will be opened to unrestricted traffic.”

The new bridge did indeed open on time, and Thomas R. Eddlem comments, “All of official Washington is fearful of the so-called ‘fiscal cliff’ on Jan. 1 and saying the wild trillion-dollar deficit spending should continue.”

“Two local bands will raise the roof at Johnson County Community College next month.

Headliners Antennas Up will appear with opening act Ad Astra Arkestra! at 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, in the Polsky Theatre of the Carlsen Center.

Tickets are $5 with a JCCC student ID or $8 for the general public, and are available at the Carlsen Center Box Office, 913-469-4445, online, or in room 106 of the Student Center on campus.

Antennas Up incorporates electro and pop into rock with a lot of energy and even more soul. This summer they released their second album, ‘The Awkward Phase.’

Ad Astra Arkestra! is described as playing psychedelic, punk, and a mixture of tropical music that one member of the band said you can ‘freak-out’ to.

The appearance is sponsored by the JCCC Campus Activities Board and the JCCC Performing Arts Series.”
