Hello Libs,
I'm writing this only with the aid of my suitemate's Chinese miracle
tea, so if you don't like something in here, blame the
Banlangenchongji.
For the second week in a row, we're not having a discussion, due to the
otherwise jam-packed and fun-filled nature of the week. The New
York
trip will be great, and Lib dinner will feature sparkling conversation,
as always.
The YPU on Wednesday is almost certainly the third-to-last YPU meeting
of the semester. Since membership in the Political Union
(including
voting priviliges) is open only to those who sign in at three YPU
debates in a semester, this is your last opportunity to qual for the
Libs! If you want to see progressive speakers and challenging
topics
on the floor of the YPU, then qual at these meetings and you'll get to
vote on YPU leadership.
I hope to see you this week!
Betsy
~Upcoming events~ Lib Dinner: Monday (today) @ 5:30 in Commons
We shall dine under the portrait of Bush the elder at 5:30 post
meridiem in the Lords and Commons Dining Hall, as is traditional.
YPU pre-party: "Pizza and shots": Wednesday @ 7 in
RH 201
(Rosenfeld Hall, Corner of Temple and Grove beside TD and across from
CLS and Silliman).
Homer: "I've got to go do some serious
thinking."
Bart: "I think he meant drinking."
Lisa: "That's what I assumed."
The Libs haven't held a party in a while, so join us in Will's room for
pizza and refreshments, then amble over to Davies Hall to hear Gary
Hart!
YPU event with Gary Hart: "Security in the 21st Century":
Wednesday @ 7:30 in Davies Auditorium (in Becton Center)
On Friday, many of us heard Bill Clinton talk about globalization, but
he didn't address the issue of security at length. For part two
in the
series of Democratic elder statesmen, come see Gary Hart, former
Colorado Senator and almost 1988 Democratic Presidential nominee.
This
will be a presentation event rather than a typical YPU debate.
This is the first closed YPU meeting of the year: to get in, you
must
pay for a YPU membership. Failing that, you must pay two American
dollars.
New York Trip: "Non-democratic governments": Friday
in New
York, leaving @ 8:15 am from Phelps Gate
Join us in talking to ambassadors from Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Jordan
in New York City
The deadline to sign up is Tuesday at noon, so email
alexander.lee@yale.edu
for more info or to attend.
