by Carleton University Debating Society
1) Lord Dorchester Cup Volunteers Needed
2) Call for Equity Committee Submissions
3) Nationals in both French and English sign up
4) Tentative AGM time and date
1)Dorchester Volunteers Needed
CUDS is asking for your help! It's for the Lord Dorchester Cup, our annual
university-level tournament. Here are the details. The tournament itself is
from March 2 - 4, 2007. Blair, our volunteer director will need lots and
lots of judges, runners, food organizers and people to do other odd jobs for
all three days. What's in it for you? Well, Dorchester will have socials on
both the Friday and Saturday nights! Fun, all-ages friendly evenings for you
to mingle with the debaters and have an awesome time. Plus, CUDS will feed
you several meals. Also for everyone who has been sent away to a tournament
it is expected that you will volunteer your time for the weekend. Finally,
don't forget the warm fuzzy feeling you will get inside from knowing that
you helped CUDS run the best tournament of the year. If all volunteers could
email Blair at novice(a)carletondebate.org ASAP so she can finalize the
volunteers list.
2) Equity Committee Submissions
At the AGM in 2006, CUDS passed a motion to set up a committee, chaired by
the president, to look into issues relating to equity and diversity within
CUDS. The committee is responsible for witting a report detailing the
current situation and to make recommendations for the club. In order to do
this, the Equity Committee is asking for all former members and current
members to give an account of their experience within the club, to explain
any barriers they felt were present and to suggest any recommendations that
they may have. Anyone who wishes to give an account can either e-mail
equity(a)carletondebate.org or they may meet in person with a member of the
committee. In order to set up a meeting, please e-mail
equity(a)carletondebate.org. Furthermore there will be a thread on CUSIDnet
where any of these issues can be discussed. The Equity Committee looks
forward to hearing from everyone and asks for everyone to submit an account
of their experiences so the report can be as representative of people's
experiences as possible.
3) French and English Nations
French Nationals will be held March 16th to 18th in Montreal. If you are
interested please post on the relevant thread on CUSIDnet or e-mail
francais(a)carletondebate.org. More information is posted on the relevant
thread on CUSIDnet. English Nationals will be held March 23rd to 25th at
Queens University. If you are interested please post on the relevant thread
on CUSIDnet or e-mail exec(a)carletondebate.org. Please be warned that all

Debate: CUDS gears up Dorchester and Nationals
by Carleton University Debating Society
1) Room Changes
2) Bishop's Tournament
3) National Championships Sign-Up
4) The Annual Lord Dorchester Cup
5) French National Championships
1) Room Changes
The rooms for Wednesday and Friday meetings have once again changed. We will
now be meeting in Loeb D580 for Wednesday meetings and Loeb B249 for Friday
meetings. Sorry for the confusion.
2) Bishop's Tournament
Bishop's University in Lennoxville Quebec will be hosting their second
annual invitational tournament on Febuary 18th and 19th. In order to
determine if there is enough interest to warrant sending teams, we are
asking anyone interested to please sign up on CUSIDnet or send an e-mail to
exec(a)carletondebate.org. This tournament is the last invitational tournament
before Nationals and is a great chance to get in some extra practice. For
more information please see the relevant thread in the CUSIDnet
Announcements forum.
3) National Championships Sign-Up
The National Championships will be held at Queens University on the Weekend
of March 23rd to 25th. We must register by the 15th of Febuary so we need to
know numbers as soon as possible. If you are interested in debating at
Nationals please post in the relevant thread in the Carleton forum on
CUSIDnet or e-mail the executive. Nationals is always a fantastic experience
and Queens is going to be hosting a great tournament. This will also be the
final tournament of the year and is the last chance to squeeze in some
competative debating in before the years end.
4) The Annual Lord Dorchester Cup
This is a message from our volunteer coordinator Blair Stein:
For those of you who volunteered with me at the Xerxes Cup debating
tournament in October, I'm sure that you'll remember how much fun it was.
For those of you that didn't, you seriously missed out. Well, CUDS is asking
for your help again. This time, it's for the Lord Dorchester Cup, our annual
university-level tournament. Here are the details. The tournament itself is
from March 2 - 4, 2007. I will need lots and lots of judges, runners, food
organizers and people to do other odd jobs for all three days. I'm sure that
you are asking "What's in it for me? At Xerxes, all I got was a loot bag!"
Well, Dorchester will have socials on both the Friday and Saturday nights!
Fun, all-ages friendly evenings for you to mingle with the debaters and have
an awesome time. Plus, we will feed you several meals. And finally, don't
forget the warm fuzzy feeling you will get inside from knowing that you
helped CUDS run the best tournament of the year. Also, for those of you whom
we have sent away to tournaments, it is expected that you will help out with
running Dorchester. I know that it's a long way away, but please email me at
novice(a)carletondebate.org so I can start a tentative volunteer list to send
out more details.
Thanks in advance, everyone! Lord Dorchester would approve!
5) French National Championships
The French National Championships will be hosted by Ecole Polytechnique in
Montreal on the weekend of March 16th-18th. For those interested in debating
in Canada's other official language, please sign up in the relevant thread
in the Carleton Forum on CUSIDnet or e-mail francais(a)calretondebate.org.
Also, for those worried about debating in French, Yannick, our VP French,
will be organizing French practice rounds when we get closer to the
tournament.
