~~Halloween Edition~~

Happy Halloween, everyone (sort of)! It's that time of year again, when midterms are ending and you feel as though you can breathe a sigh of relief. Then, suddenly, you realize that the traditional Yale social activities are rising up to take over your life: the screws are in full swing, Halloween lasted four days, Casino Night is nearly upon us, and Harvard-Yale is just 6 seminar hours away. This is possibly more stressful than midterms; you can always drop classes, but who can miss the YSO concert? (It was great, by the way; go Bill!)

Anyway, pretend you got this twelve hours earlier.

~~In the Libs this Week~~

Monday, November 1, 5:30 pm

Lib Dinner, Commons

Once again, we'll gather under the portrait of George HW Bush. Come hear everyone's Halloween war stories.

Wednesday, November 3, 7:30 pm

Lib Debate, JE Common Room

Resolved: Religion is the opiate of the masses.

Is religion a social tool to keep the people content, in line, and accepting of their repression? Or is it really more of a methamphetamine, a drug to incite the masses towards social change? Come tell us what you think on Wednesday.

Thursday, November 4, 7:30 pm

YPU Student Debate, LC 211

Resolved: America made a mistake.

This is the YPU's election debate. While you don't know what side you'll be speaking on yet, you should know by now what a mistake would constitute. Want to talk about how Bush would/will take America down the toilet? E-mail sophia.brill@yale.edu for a place on the docket.

Even if you're not interested in election re-hash, stop by the beginning on the meeting to sign in with the Libs. There are only three qualifying meetings left of the semester, and you need to sign in at the beginning of three per semester to become a YPU member (this allows you to vote at the end of the semester). So if you're interested in joining the YPU but haven't been able to make it yet, try to spare a few minutes of your time to walk to LC.
