First Meeting of the Year

Dear Debate members,
Let's have an organizational meeting next Thursday, Sept. 21, at h.s. lunchtime (11:45) in my room A311.
I have a slim handbook on debate for all of you, we'll get everyone's proper email, and get organized.
Email me back (especially coaches) if you are coming. We'll arrange to contact Dr. James Como to see when he can come during the fall to help us out.
Thanks, and see you then,
Dr. Carney
