CUDS is meeting up with U of O's EDS at the Blue Cactus tonight. If you wish to come, please email the executive at exec(a)carletondebate.org. We're meeting at the regular time and place and hopefully will get a round or two in before heading out. There is also a potluck being held at Ben Piper's house on the 15th. Please email Ben at benpiper(a)gmail.com if you are planning on going, and let him know what course or dish you are planning on bringing. 3. The debating year is closing, and along with the end of debating comes the end of university. CUDS has several graduating members this year, and we would like to thank them for the contributions that they made to the club. We wish them luck. - Damien Côté: Damien has been a member of the club for three years. His laid back, some might say flippant, attitude has led him on bike trips across Canada and Europe, Trudeau-esque voyages to various points of the globe, and diamond mining in the arctic. His oratorical skill is also impressive, and in his time at Carleton, he has debated in the quarter-final at Central Novice in 2003, the final round of the 2004 French Nationals, and the final round in the 2006 Ontario Engineering Debate Championships. Damien will be heading to the University of Toronto next year for his M.A. in economics. - Dan Meester: Dan has dedicated himself to CUDS over the past two years, this year as your esteemed VP Communications, and the author of all the eloquent emails that you've been receiving. Dan has also held the post of Director of Absences which, considering that our club has about 25-30 active members, means that Dan essentially directs somewhere in the neighbourhood of 6 billion people. Dan will be taking this year off to go enlighten the Chinese with the English language, before heading to study the law in the future. - Dan Moak: Dan has embodied dedication to the club over the past four years. Showing up to countless meetings and heading to many tournaments, Dan is always ready with a comment that absolutely no one else understands. That being said, he holds the coveted position as the only person in CUDS to win a round he wasn't even debating in. Dan will be heading to York University next year to begin an M.A. in Critical Disability Studies. - Sasha Mandi: Sasha has joined the club this year, and in short time managed to debate his way into the final of the Ontario Engineering Debate Championships. Sasha has been a strong contributor to club meetings and events this year, and we wish him the best as he goes on to study the law next year. - Ben Piper: What a joker... his biggest contribution was that he kept Jordan in line. 4. Many thanks for everyone that came out throughout the year and contributed to CUDS. While after today meetings are officially over, many of the residents of Ottawa have expressed a desire to keep debating over the summer. If you want to keep debating and are staying in Ottawa, please contact them on the CUSIDnet forums. Once again, a big thanks to everyone that came out this year, and we look forward to seeing everyone next year. We will be sending out information about next year's debating when the new school year comes around. ***Please do not reply directly to this email.
