Wish this information from your January 14th article had been brought forward to this update:

” This year’s policy debate topic focuses on domestic surveillance by the federal government. For half of their rounds, debaters are assigned to argue for reducing surveillance. During the other half, debaters will argue for maintaining present levels of surveillance”

The subject of a debate should always be part of a real news story. Obviously, if it is extemporaneous debate, that isn’t possible. Here, you had the information two months ago and just lost it between article and update.
