      On
      the
      past
      weekend,
      U.P.E.I.
      held
      it’s
      first
      ever
     
     
      CUSID
      Debating
      tournament
      (CUSID
      is
      the
      Canadian
     
     
      University
      Society
      for
      Intercollegiate
      Debate).
      Four
     
     
      universities;
      Dalhousie,
      U.N.B
      (Fredericton
      Campus),
     
     
      Saint
      Thomas,
      and
      Mount
      Allison
      sent
      teams.
      There
     
     
      was
      a
      total
      of
      24
      debaters
      (including
      3
      from
      P.E.I.)
     
     
      and
      Finegan
      the
      dog
      (no,
      he
      wasn’t
      a
      debater,
      he
      was
     
     
      a
      judge).
      This
      was
      a
      good
      number
      for
      our
      first
      tour-
     
     
      nament,
      enough
      for
      good
      debates,
      but
      not
      so
      many
      as
     
     
      io
      make
      the
      tabulation
      of
      results
      difficult.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      [Twelve

      up,
     
     
      reparing
      meals,
      judging,
      and

      Lounge
      for
      briefings

      Over

      fhe
      resolution
      for
      the
      final
      round
      was

      to
     
     
      ye
      parents
