Arena
Theater Presents Louisa May Alcott's Little Women
 Marisha
Chamberlain’s raw and honest interpretation
of Alcott’s classic tale paints the unforgettable
March sisters in a refreshingly full-bodied light.
Under the direction of alumna Kailey Bell, Meg, Jo,
Beth, and Amy invite you to step into their 19th
century New England home and witness the beautiful
and contentious relationships that define even the
most loving families. Relive the flighty imaginations,
solid practicality and wistful dreams of four true
American “Little Women” from February
15-23, at 8:00 PM in Arena Theater. Tickets are available
for $10 through
the box office or online.
Debate Update: Staten and June Walk Over Teammates
Morris and Kinde
 Julia Staten and Ryan June “walked
over” their fellow debaters, Alli Morris and
Stephen Kinde, on their way to win the finals at
the first of two tournaments hosted at Concordia
University, NE. Both teams won their semi-final round,
but teammates can not compete against each other
in the final round. To declare a winner, Morris and
Kinde sacrificed their top position in favor of their
teammates, allowing Staten and June to take the win.
Breaking two teams to octofinals at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego
in early Janurary, Wheaton debaters competed with the best. The following weekend
at Webster College, Bob Kubinec and Camille Barnett broke to octofinals with
teammates Abi Perl and Jon Klanderman. At Concordia University, Wheaton teams
won semifinals in both tournaments.
Currently ranked 37th in the nation with her partner Stephen Kinde, Alli Morris
loves the challenge of debate. “Our coaches are amazing, and this is the
best our team has done” recently. Ryan June and Talia Staten are currently
ranked 39th in the nation, and Abigail Perl and Jon Klanderman, at 73rd, are
contending for an NPTE-qualifying position in the next debate.
Come watch the team in action at this weekend’s Hollatz-Larson Debate Tournament,
hosted on-campus Friday, February 15 - Saturday, February 16. Fore more information,

Thunder Dominates Loyola Debate Tournament
The
Wheaton Parliamentary Debate Team travelled to Loyola in
early December. Entering one team in the novice division
and seven in the open division, three teams managed to advance
to
outrounds.
Several
others did not break even, though they had a record of 4-2
going into outrounds. Amy Masburn and Ben Johnson advanced
to the quarterfinal round. Juliana Wilhoit and Grant Diamond
advanced to the
quarterfinal round where they lost on a 2-1 decision. Talia
Staten and Ryan June advanced to the semifinal round where
they lost on a 2-1 decision. The real highlight was our
success in claiming speaker awards. Paul Nelson (a freshman)
was
named the 5th speaker in the
novice division. In an impressive sweep, the varsity claimed
six out of the ten individual awards! Congratulations Wheaton
