Our special congratulations also go out to Padraic Ryan, our former VP
External, who will be going on to higher and mightier things as the new
President of CUSID, the governing body of Canadian university debating.
Armed with a respectable haircut and a new, less-incriminating picture
on CUSIDnet, Padraic is sure to take CUSID by storm.<br><br>2.&nbsp; There are several upcoming social events.&nbsp; On April 7, CUDS is meeting up with EDS for an end-of-year banquet at the Blue Cactus.&nbsp; In addition, Ben Piper is hosting a get-together/potluck at his house on the 15th of April.&nbsp; All debaters are welcome for both events, but are encouraged to give their names to the exec so we have some idea of the numbers we can expect.&nbsp; Please post on the appropriate CUSIDnet thread if you intend on attending either one of the events.
