Join us in the time-honored Dialectic Chamber this Monday, October 20th at 7:30 post meridiem on the Top Floor of New West Hall. We will turn back time and debate a resolution from our past 100 years ago: Resolved: Each class should be segregated into certain sections on campus.

After the debate, we will have what we call PPMAs, wherein anyone can come up to the podium and talk about whatever they want. We hope to see you there!
