Congratulations to everyone.

Also, keep an eye out for an announcement about some sort of end-of-year social event...we're gonna try to squeeze one in before the end of the semester.



Looking forward to seeing you all (even the seniors: our tournament needs dino judges!) next year,

Candidate statements up

http://debate.rutgers.edu/ - the link to the candidate statements are at
the top left

If you still want to run for a position, email me your statement as soon
as possible, before our elections Tuesday night.

Thanks,

Ed

Reminder: send in candidate statements for elections on Tuesday

Hey guys,

Just wanted to remind you all that elections are coming up on Tuesday, and
we strongly encourage everyone to attend and vote. There are several
seniors amongst us that are graduating, so we're looking for some new
leadership. The positions are:

President
VP Executive
VP Finance
Novice Coach
Tournament Director

As an e-board member, aside from your position's responsibilities, you
should try to attend tournaments somewhat regularly and be active on the
team; you should also regularly come to our own meetings.

If you're interested in running for a position please send me a candidate
statement that outlines what you would bring to the table if elected. It
needn't be particularly long or flowery - just why you should be elected.
We'll use it as a foundation for the Q&A session on Tuesday before we
vote, so we'd like to have it on the website (debate.rutgers.edu) in
advance.

Sunday night I'll be putting up the first of the candidate statements for
everyone to read over.

Thanks,

Ed

Meeting this week cancelled/elections

Everyone:

First of all, thanks once again to everyone who helped out with the tournament. It was a great success, and we honestly could not have done it without you. Special thanks to Tournament Director Ed Fu, Housing Director Rebekah Lee, Judging Director Prashant Iyer, and Tab Director Dan Ahn, and to everyone else who went above and beyond in their help Friday and Saturday.

In light of the fact that so many of us put in so much time this past weekend, we are cancelling the meeting on Tuesday. The room will be available for an optional practice. In lieu of a meeting, we ask that everyone consider running for a position in RUDU elections, slated for Tuesday, April 24. We will be sending out specific information regarding available positions and their descriptions, but for now please start deliberating whether you wish to give back to Rutgers Debate and serve as an elected representative of the organization. We will also give guidelines for the creation and submission of candidate statements, so stay tuned.

Also, we hope to have some type of end-of-the-year social event for the team. Look for an announcement about that soon as well.

Thanks again,

Sam

Tournament Information

Hi everyone, just a few quick announcements about the tournament.

First of all, thanks to everyone who has stepped up to help out with the myriad logistics involved with the tournament so far, and thanks in advance to all who have graciously volunteered to judge at the tournament. We will reward you all with three excellent meals throughout the weekend.

Please arrive at GA (Van Dyck 211) on Friday no later than 3:45. We need to make sure we have all the necessary judges, and will likely have last-minute things to take care of, such as configuring the tab room. If you have not done so, please provide Prashant ( piyer8@gmail.com) with your contact information. Remember to be awake and at the SAC Raritan River Lounge (where Saturday's GA is being held) on Saturday by 9 AM.

Thank you once again; here's to an incredible tournament.

Sam

Important Tournament Info! Please Read ASAP

Hi, everyone! As you already know, this weekend is the 2007 Rutgers
Invitational Tournament! We are in the process of making our final
preparations for the tournament, and hope you are excited as we
are...hosting a tournament really is a great experience every year,
and is always a great bonding experience for both our team members and
APDA as a whole.

A few things:

First, housing. PLEASE E-MAIL REBEKAH LEE BY TOMORROW AT MIDNIGHT if
you are able to house debaters on Friday night. Remember, every
tournament we've gone to, we've relied on fellow students to house us;
it's time to return the favor. Let her know where you live and how
many people you are able to house. It is absolutely critical that we
have as much housing as possible to ensure we can accomodate everyone,
so please do your best.

Next, the tournament itself. For a look at our wonderful invitation,
visit http://apdaweb.org/forum/viewthread.php?tid=2437&page=1#pid19261.
If you are involved in judging, you must be at Van Dyck by 4PM at the
absolute latest. If you are able to help out earlier than 4, e-mail us
at debate@rutgers.edu.

To incentivize (a word that exists on APDA and APDA alone) you and
your housemates to volunteer to host people, remember that it will
entail you free access to the debate social event on Friday night
(non-debate related people will have to pay a cover charge). If you
have any questions or concerns, please let us know.

Here's to an quality tournament.

See you Friday,

Sam
