Instead of a general meeting this Wednesday, we will be hosting a Debate Watching Party in Greg 221 at 8 pm! Again, the debate watch party starts at 8 pm instead of the usual 7 pm meeting time. The debate begins at 8 pm and we will provide pizza and beverages. So come on out and watch the first debate between Obama and Romney! 

Here are some of the topics that will be covered in the debate: http://www.2012presidentialelectionnews.com/2012/09/topics-for-first-presidential-debate-on-oct-3-announced/
