2)Show Debate on Darfur
t is my pleasure to inform you that SHOUT (Students Helping Others
Understand Tolerance) and the Carleton University Debate Society are
partnering to bring you a debate, a brief lecture, and and a discussion
about whether states should unilaterally intervene in the affairs of other
states in order to protect human rights (with a specific focus on Darfur).
The debate portion will feature two national champions, and the lecture will
be given by Prof Penny, a noted expert on international law and on the
international legal regulation of the use of force. It will be at 7:00 in
Tory 240 on Thursday, January 10.
For more information contact Garnett Genuis at vpi(a)carletondebate.org or
Raphael Shainfarber at shoutottawa(a)gmail.com or check out our facebook event
called "Sovereignty vs Human Rights in Darfur".
3) Manditory North-Ams Meeting
January 11th at 4pm in our Friday meeting room. This is a mandatory meeting
for everyone involved with North-Ams and seeing as everyone should be
involved with North-Ams this means everyone.We will be discussing specific
responsibilities over the next couple of weeks as well as arranging billets
and other things. THIS MEETING IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
4) Winter Carnival
The TSC will meet shortly to determine who will be attending Winter
Carnival. Seeing as we have 4 teams and 2 judges registered some people will
be unable to attend. Please check CUSIDnet regularly for the announcement.
As well if anyone who is attending has a place to stay in Montreal please
post on CUSIDnet in the Winter Carnival thread.
5) Novice Training Day V.2.0
On January 12th starting at 9am we will be hosting our Canadian
Parliamentary Training session. It will feature a seminar by North American
Top Speaker and Former National Champion Ian Freeman followed by at minimum
two practice rounds judged by experiences CUDS debaters. This is a great
chance for all debaters to learn more about CP and have another chance to
get to know people better. All CUDS members are strongly encouraged to
attend. The event should end around 3pm.
