Rutgers University Debate Union
The Rutgers University Debate Union (RUDU) is Rutgers University's intercollegiate debate team. Re-founded in 2001, its roots extend back to the 18th century and the King's-Queen's Debates with Columbia University (then King's College) when Rutgers was known under its founding name of Queen's College.〔''Daily Targum'', February 10, 1994: http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~zj5j-gttl/t940210.htm〕 The Union currently competes on the American Parliamentary Debate Association (APDA) circuit〔American Parliamentary Debate Association, "Contacts": http://www.apdaweb.org/contacts - accessed March 21, 2011〕 and finished the 2010-2011 season ranked fifth in that league.〔American Parliamentary Debate Association, "Club of the Year": http://www.apdaweb.org/wiki/doku.php?id=coty:2011 - accessed May 2, 2011〕 At the end of the most recent 2012-2013 season, RUDU was ranked third.〔Intrabartola, L., "Rutgers Debate Union Trumps Harvard: Team transitions from underdog to ranking third nationally in four years", ''Rutgers Today'', March 29, 2013: http://news.rutgers.edu/focus/issue.2013-03-26.8328999752/article.2013-03-27.6388817604〕 RUDU also took sixth place in the North American Parliamentary Debate Championships 2012〔American Parliamentary Debate Association, "Hart House NorthAms 2012": http://www.apdaweb.org/results/tournament/361 - accessed March 28, 2012〕 and ninth place in the US National Championships 2013.〔Bregman, Z., "Debate team finishes year with record ninth rank", ''Daily Targum'', April 30, 2013: http://www.dailytargum.com/news/debate-team-finishes-year-with-record-ninth-rank/article_88db0d94-b14b-11e2-b30d-001a4bcf6878.html〕
== History ==
While RUDU was recently re-founded after a period of dormancy, there is a strong history of debate at Rutgers. The team not only debated Columbia in the King's/Queen's debates of the 18th century,〔Rutgers University Debate Union official website, "History": http://rudebate.wordpress.com/history - accessed May 25, 2011〕 they also purportedly took part in the first intercollegiate debate of the modern era, held against New York University in 1881.〔 Paul Robeson was a member of Rutgers' debate team〔Boyle, S.T. and Bunie, A.: ''Paul Robeson: The Years of Promise and Achievement'', University of Massachusetts Press, 2005: http://books.google.com/books?id=vuckDH3cD_EC&pg=PA61〕 during his time there in the 1910s. Rutgers debaters were often quite successful, notching a long winning streak in the early 20th century〔"Ninth Victory for Rutgers Debaters", ''New York Times'', June 4, 1905: http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F00A12F63C5C1A728DDDAD0894DE405B858CF1D3〕 and defeating Harvard University in 1947.〔"Debaters Bow to Rutgers in Sixth Contest of Term", ''Harvard Crimson'', March 5, 1947: http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1947/3/5/debaters-bow-to-rutgers-in-sixth〕
Rutgers debaters made the elimination rounds at the first-ever National Debate Tournament in 1947〔NDT official results, 1947-1956: http://groups.wfu.edu/NDT/Results/NDT%20results%201947-1956%20%281-10%29.pdf - accessed May 25, 2011〕 and went on to compete in debate events nationally until about 1997.〔 The team also competed in speech events for much of the 1970s and 1980s, reaching a national ranking of 17th at the National Forensics League championship in 1980. Among the notable members of this period were J.G. Harrington, who later became the first Rutgers alumni inducted into the National Forensics Hall of Fame, Paul Mansfield, a national quarter-finalist in Impromptu Speaking in 1980, and David Fischler, a national quarter-finalist in Rhetorical Criticism in 1980 who led the team from 1977 to 1980.〔 The Debate Union appears to have disappeared completely from the campus from 1997-2001 before its modern rebirth.
