Bates Competes at Cambridge University's IV Tournament
In November of this school year, Bates continued its long-standing tradition of sending several teams to compete at Cambridge University's Inter-Varsity Debate Tournament. The trip consisted entirely of Brook's Quimby's stellar class of 2011, sending teams Alicia Orkisz and Rachel Kurzius, and Ariela Silberstein and Maddy Kilbride. Nicky DeFrancis also travelled as an adjudicator. Having recently been introduced to the intricacies of British Parliamentary Debate, the teams' performance was impressive: Kurzius and Orkisz were 48th best team in the tournament with 199 speaker points and
Silberstein and Kilbride placed 61st with 212.5 speaker points.
