The tournament referred to cannot be Southern Utah.  The 1995 SUU Red 
Rock was held the first weekend of November, and the 1996 Red Rock 
will be held November 2 and 3.  I believe the authors meant to refer 
to the GSL University of Utah tournament, but cannot be sure.  Just 
wanted to note that I have no knowledge of the SUU tournament 
involving Berkeley debaters, legal or otherwise, during the one year 
plus I've been here.
