Announcements:
1) Novice Training Day
It's coming up! We will be holding novice training day Wednesday, January
10th at CO-214 (In ResCom, on campus). It will start at 9:30 am, and there
will be a delicious free pizza lunch, and an excellent debating seminar held
by Mike Powell and Adam Coombs.
2) Winter Carnival
This tournament will be held from January 16-18 in Montreal. It is usually
pretty fun (come on, it's Montreal!) and both judges and debaters who attend
are extremely high quality. Please post regarding your interest before
Saturday, January 10th. We hope do decide who will be attending after the
training day.
3) Regular Meeting Times
For now, these will be held at their usual locations and times, which are:
Wednesdays 7:00pm CO 214 , Fridays 4:00pm in TB 432
If you are unavailable for both times, please either send me a message at
President(a)carletondebate.org, or post on the relevant thread on cusidnet.
4) Business Meeting Times
There was overwhelming support to have the meetings on wednesday night, so
we'll hold them Wednesday at 9:15 pm. Agendas, as per the constitution, will
be posted two days in advance.
5) Levy announcement
CUSA would like to attach all student levies to the CPI (Consumer Price
Index). In other words, our levy would increase with inflation. We are
supporting the ballot measure.
6) Discussion regarding $20 tournament fees
As per the constitution, we're obligated to charge members a $20 fee per
tournament. As this has not been acted upon, I would like to open up
discussion as to whether this should occur. Whether people are charged this
fee will be finalized during a business meeting, of which everyone will be
informed. Also, there will be a discussion on Cusidnet.
I hope you all had a restful holiday, and see you at training day :)
