News from the debating society

WELL, IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR, AND once again you have the chance to join the fun and excitement of ... the Debating Society!! The Society had a great time last year, hosting a successful tournament, and travelling to 4 off-Island tournaments. UPEI also won the MacDonald-Reid debate against Holland Col- lege for the second year in a row! Debating Society is a good way to improve your public speaking skills while getting to know some great people.

This fall we plan to attend the Atlantic Regional Tournament at Mount Allison, as well as holding a tourney of our own. Plus, as any oflast year’s members cantell you, we have lots of ‘social gatherings’’ throughout the year!

The debating itself is not difficult, and we do a lot of practicing in-house, with topics that range from important social issues to whether or not Campbell’s Chunky Soup should be eaten with a fork or spoon. And, contrary to popular belief, there is absolutely no research!

We hold two meetings a week to try to

accomodate as many different schedules as | possible. The meetings are very low-pressure: don’t be afraid to just come and watch! The first one will be held on Wednesday night, September 14, at 7 pm, in the basement of the Alumni gymnasium. If you’re interested but can’t make that time, e-mail me at JENMAN. Hope to see you there!
