Greetings, Libs!       Have you ever looked at the clock when it says 1:30, then felt like it should be a sunny afternoon outside?  I experienced that a little while ago.  I heard from someone who passed out in the parking lot of a sushi restaurant on Saturday night, and I feel a little like that, except without the alcohol, asphalt, or sushi.        So, while I don't promise to be a stellar conversationalist at our events this week, I encourage you to come and experience the magic that is the Liberal Party.  Be sure to come to the YPU meeting Tuesday to hear about the issues facing you as part of the New Haven community, and <begin unpaid advertisement> support Ben Healey, our incumbent alderman, sometime-Lib, and all-around good guy <end unpaid advertisement>.

~Upcoming events!~
*Lib dinner:*  Monday, 5:30, Commons
Join us for wine*, women**, and song*** under the portrait of "H. Dubya".  (That just really doesn't have a ring to it.  *shrug*)
* Not really.  Commons hasn't classed up that much, even if they have put new signs on the milk dispensers, added a cream/half & half thingy, and gotten a new froyo machine.  (Why are all those improvements dairy related?  A Dairy Industrial Complex?)
**  We do have lots of active women in our party!
***  No singing, please.
*YPU / Aldermanic Debate*:  Tuesday, 7:30, Battell Chapel (SSS 114?)
Listen to current Ward One Alderman Ben Healey '03 and challenger Dan Kruger '03 as they discuss their visions of New Haven and respond to your questions!  Most residential colleges are in Ward One, so these are most likely the candidates who will be on YOUR ballot, but each Alderman's work impacts the entire city.

As I've gotten conflicting reports of the room, I'll send you an update later, but assume that Battell Chapel is correct.

*Lib discussion*:  Wednesday, 7:30, room TBA, "Has fucking become conservative?"
I was going to write this one "Has f*cking become conservative?", but a. you guys are mature college students, and b. then half of you would think it was a debate on censorship, instead of being the raucous discussion of sex that you've all been lusting after.  Hear what Chair Jason "Tie Me to a Chair" Farago and Betsy "No Sexy Nickname (Till You Came Along)" Williams have to say on the matter.  Please note that it's no longer Parents' Weekend, so you can't bring along yo momma, no matter how hard she begs.

*Lib New York trip*:  Friday, Nov. 7 (Save the date!)
Theme:  "UN Ambassadors from Non-Democratic Countries"
Visit with representatives from theocracies, monarchies, and the United States*.  Find out how dictators manage to keep those 100% approval ratings!
* Just kidding!  Of course we live in a nation where the people's will is the guiding force!
