Help with the Yes! Campaign
On February 8
and 9, students will be asked in a referendum whether or not to grant
the Debating Society a one dollar student levy. But we need help!
Running a campaign takes a lot of time and effort, so we need help
from absolutely every club member in order to mount an effective
campaign. If you would like to help out, contact Padraic at yes@carletondebate.org.
For more
information, you can visit http://www.carletondebate.org/yes.
The website will be up shortly.
Lord Dorchester Cup Help
On March 4-6,
we will be holding the 2005 Lord Dorchester Cup, our annual

on a good show, we need people to be judges, runners, and help out with
other logistical tasks. Over the course of the weekend, you'll be fed
and have access to a great party. So, mark your calendars and if you
would like to sign up to volunteer, contact dorchester@carletondebate.org.
