Hello all - thanks to the many people who made it last week, and for anyone
who didn't, don't despair, it's not too late! This Tuesday will see our next
debate take place (details below) on the topic "This House Would
Legalise Polygamy". Does the state have the right to regulate
relationships? Is this a relic of a lost Christian past? Or would this devalue
the status of women in some cultural groups, and undermine the family with all
the social problems that come with this?
We will be running this as a training
debate - which means we will pair up anyone who wishes to speak
for the first time into two's, and then assign them to an experienced
society member to guide them and help them plan and prepare. We will then
have a very relaxed, friendly beginners debate to give people a taste of
debating, proper, before heading to the bar for yet more relaxing.
So if you've ever wanted to try debating - this is the week to
do so! And if you want to see how it works, but not take part just
yet, then thats fine too. Having people to watch and give feedback is
actually something we really need to keep us sharp!
So as usual, contact me if you need any more information. And see below for
the times, and place of the debate.

"This House Would Legalise Polygamy"
Tuesday the 19th, 18.00
Aurora-Sali New Student House, Mannerheimintie 5
B
*NOTE* The room is not in
the same building as last time - walk past the La Tour restaurant and the
entrance from last time (5a) until you reach a shop called 'Pentik', then
between this and a health food store there is an entrance which leads to a lift
(we will put a sign here) and the room.
