UPEI
      Gets
      To
      Debating
     
     
      Quarter-Finals
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Over
      the
      October
      26-28.
      weekend,
      the
      UPEI
     
     
      Debating
      Society
      sent
      two
      teams
      to
      compete
      at
      the
     
     
      Atlantic
      Regional
      Debating
      Championships
      at
      the
     
     
      University
      of
      New
      Brunswick.
      Both
      teams
      reached
     
     
      the
      quarter
      finals,
      and
      one
      of
      them
      came
      within
      one
     
     
      point
      of
      reaching
      the
      semi-finals.
      UPEI
      placed
      6th
     
     
      and
      7th
      in
      the
      overall
      standings,
      with
      20
      teams
      in
     
     
      the
      competition.
     
     
      Atlantic
      region
      placed
      teams
      higher
      in
      the
      standings
     
     
      than
      UPEI,
      with
      teams
      from
      as
      far
      away
      as
     
     
      Memorial
      University
      in
      Newfoundland
      in
      attendance.
     
     
      The
      debaters
      to
      be
      congratulated
      are
      Michelle
     
     
      MacDonald
      and
      Steve
      Murray
      (UPEI
      B),
      and
     
     
      Edward
      Lank
      and
      Michael
      Woodman(UPEI
      A).
     
     
      UPEI’s
      impressive
      performance
      at
      the
      Atlantic
     
     
      Championships
      certainly
      establishes
      us
      as
      having
      one
     
     
      of
      the
      strongest
      debating
      squads
      in
      the
      region
      for
     
     
      this
      year.
      The
      debating
      Society
      credits
      several
      years
     
     
      of
      membership
      expansion
      and
      improvements
      in
     
     
      training
      as
      resulting
      in
      the
      strength
      of
      this
      year’s
     
     
      teams.
      UPEI’s
      next
      tournament
      will
      probably
      be
     
     
      the
      McGill
      Invitationals
      in
      Montreal
      in
      February
      of
     
     
      next
      year.
      By
      all
      indications
      so
      far
      this
      season,
     
     
      UPEI
      should
      continue
      to
      place
      teams
      high
      in
      the
     
     
      standings
      in
      national
      competition.

      The
      Debating
      Society
      met
      on
      October
      31st
      to
      discuss
     
     
      upcoming
      debates
      and
      to
      practice
      public
      speaking
     
     
      skills.
      Public
      Speaking
      is
      when
      a
      student
      is
      given
     
     
      a
      statement
      and
      is
      allowed
      ten
      seconds
      to
      come
      up
     
     
      with
      a
      topic
      to
      speak
      on
      for
      five
      minutes.
     
    

    
     
      Edward
      Lank
      did
      na
      excellent
      speech
      on
      how
      a
     
     
      person
      can
      reach
      his/her
      goals
      by
      trying
      different
     
     
      paths
      and
      finding
      new
      ways
      to
      reach
      the
      goals.
      He
     
     
      tied
      this
      into
      the
      statement
      "If
      you
      can’t
      find
      the
     
     
      key
      to
      success,
      pick
      the
      lock."
      Sharlene
      Small
      used
     
     
      the
      statement
      "you
      better
      bail
      out
      when
      the
      curtain
     
     
      comes
      down,"
      when
      she
      spoke
      about
      her
      experiences
     
     
      with
      acting
      and
      the
      theatre.
      She
      informed
      us
      of
     
     
      ways
      she
      had
      wished
      she
      acted
      when
      her
      curtain
     
     
      came
      down.
      It
      was
      an
      interesting,
      informative,
      and
     
     
      fun
      meeting
      for
      everyone
      who
      attended.
      For
      any
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Only
      three
      universities

      the

      students
      interested
      in
      Public
      speaking,
      this
      is
      a
      great
     
     
      way
      to
      learn
      how
      and
      to
      improve
      yourself.
