Issue Topic:

1."It is often necessary, even desirable, for political leaders to withhold information from the public"

2.In order to improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level, all faculty should be required to spend time
working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach


Argument Topic:

1.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a newspaper serving the villages of Castroville and Polluxton.
"Both the villages of Castroville and Polluxton have experienced sharp declines in the numbers of residents who pay property
taxes. To save money and improve service, the two villages recently merged their once separate garbage collection departments
into a single department located in Castroville, and the new department has reported few complaints about its service. Last year
the library in Polluxton had 20 percent fewer users than during the previous year. It follows that we should now further economize
and improve service, as we did with garbage collection, by closing the library in Polluxton and using the library in Castroville to
serve both villages."
