[eDebate] Notre Dame Debate

[John Boyer]

Hello all,

My name is John Boyer, ome of you met me last year as the policy
assistant at the University of Puget Sound.  This year I am the
Director of Debate at the University of Notre Dame.  For the first
year in a LONG time, Notre Dame will be resurrecting a policy debate
team.  The adminstration is committed to building a strong policy
tradition at Notre Dame to go along with an already strong tradition
in parliamentary debate.

We plan on travelling to a few tournaments this year, and hope to be
ready for the Clay Debates at Kentucky in October.  If we aren't ready
by then, we'll be out at Loyola or Wayne State, and have some debaters
at Wake Forest.  You will be seeing former Marquette Debate alum,
Kiley Kane travelling with the team as the policy coach most often,
but I will make it to a few tournaments as well.

I'd also like to announce that we will be adding policy to the
schedule of our spring tournament, the Irish Invitational, February
11-13.  This is the weekend after Northwestern, and I believe the
weekend of the Heart, but hopefully a few teams are able to attend our
beautiful campus.  Please backchannel me if you are thinking of
sending a few teams to this tournament and I will get you an
invitation.
