The WCTU believes that
young people should be aware of the problems involved with the use
of alcoholic beverages, tobacco, illegal drugs and pornography. To
encourage and promote research into the effects of these as they
relate to the health and happiness of the individual, the protection of
the home, safety, crime and violence, college students are invited to
compete in the Intercollegiate Oratorical Contests sponsored by
the WCTU on campuses around the nation.
The National Contest was conducted at the National WCTU Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 12, 2011 and the winners are:
|
