In this Issue:

• Panda Debate
  
• McGill Winter Carnival

Every year, the CUDS and the University of Ottawa English Debating Society hold the Panda Debate - in the tradition of past  Carleton/Ottawa U showdowns, the Panda Debate is an informal tournament where novice or inexperienced debaters will pair up with an experienced debater and face off against teams from the EDS.  In last year's Panda Debate, EDS won, taking home the coveted stuffed Panda.  Let's win it back this year!

This year's Panda Debate will be held this weekend January 14 (evening) and 15 (day).  We will start at 6:30pm on Friday at Carleton.  Saturday rounds will take place at the University of Ottawa.  If you are interested, please contact vpdebate@carletondebate.org immediately.  You may also sign up at http://www.cusid.ca/community/viewtopic.php?t=6550.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

The McGill Winter Carnival tournament will be held January 21 - 23 in Montreal.  The tournament is one of the best tournaments on the circuit and has teams from both Canada and the United States competing.  We intend to send 3 teams and 1 judge.  If you would like to sign up for this tournament, please contact the VP Debate, Jessica, at vpdebate@carletondebate.org by January 11, 2005.
