1) Debating Results: At the Winter Carnival Debate Tournament -held in
Montreal by McGill University- Carleton had an outstanding showing. Padraic
Ryan of Carleton with his partner Teddy Harrison of UBC beat out a team from
Queen's University to win the tournament. Padraic also had the second
highest speaker ranking in the tournament. Other Carleton teams placed 21st
and 41st. At the Dalhousie Invitational, Carleton also had an stunning
showing by having three out of the eight teams in the break round. Padraic
Ryan was the top individual speaker, and his partner Michael Powell was
fifth. We would like to congratulate Padraic and Teddy on winning Winter
Carnival, and all Carleton debaters on their incredible performance in both
tournaments.

3) Panda Cup: The English Debate Society of Ottawa University and the
Carleton University Debate Society have always had a traditional rivalry,
and the Panda Cup, on February 2nd and 3rd, is the annual showdown between
both clubs. This is a great tournament to attend: it's fairly informal and
there is lots of opportunities to meet other debaters and improve your
skills. If you want to attend, email exec(a)carletondebate.org or post on the
appropriate CUSIDnet thread. We hope to see you out there!
4) Upcoming Tournaments: The French Debate Nationals, the Leger Cup and the
English Nationals are all coming up. For more information about
participating, email exec(a)carletondebate.org or post on the appropriate
thread on CUSIDnet.
5) Dorchester Cup: Carleton is once again hosting the Lord Dorchester
Debating Cup, and we need volunteers. The Dorchester Cup is held on March
2nd to March 4th, and if you want to help out in any capacity, please email
Josh Prowse at dorchester(a)carletondebate.org. This is a great way to help
out the debate club, and also gain experience in judging and other aspects
of debate.
