Debate: Public Debate/CUSIDnet Info!

Hello all, Firstly, this is a reminder in case you haven't received an invite to the event on Facebook that there's a public debate happening this Thursday, January 21st. It's from 7:00-8:30 pm in Mackenzie 2360. The topic is: Should Canadian officials be held responsible for the treatment of Afghan detainees? The debate will feature a guest speaker, MP Paul Dewar! It'll be a great event, so try and make it out and bring all of your friends! Secondly, for those novices that have not signed up on CUSIDnet yet (there were a couple of you on Friday!), here's how: 1) Go to www.cusid.ca/community 2) up at the top, click the Register button to create an account. 3) go through the motions, pick a screen name, etc. 4) You'll now be allowed to post in the main forum, however you're still blocked from Carleton's forum for privacy restrictions, so all you have to do is click on one of the moderator's names (the screen names should read sheliza-CU, A.Law, or David Tucker) and send a Private Message to any of them (I can let you in, I'm not entirely sure about Sheliza or Andrew though). When we get your PM asking to be let in, we'll let you in, and you'll have access to our forum. CUSIDnet is essential because it helps you keep up to date with all of our meeting times, public debates, etc, and it is the only way you can sign up for tournaments. There are still a few tournaments to sign up for as well, so be quick! Finally, although most of the club will be in Montreal for McGill's Winter Carnival tournament, there will still be a meeting on Friday at 4, in the regular room (CO 213). I'll be there in case anyone shows, and so will a couple others. If you haven't come to a meeting yet, or have only come once or twice, that's the perfect chance if you want to try and hone your skills. That's it folks, cheerio.
