Hey Everyone,

>From the time of this posting, eveyrone has at least 2 weeks, some
people have 3. That means good files.... no excuses. I recommend that
people who can start on their file ASAP, that means this weekend if
possible, early next week if not. This is important because it gives you
the opportunity to talk to us about the assignments and we can help give
you ideas.

Not everyone has been assigned something. People who haven't been
assigned will receive post-GDS assignments, most likely due on November
15th with the pre-Glenbrooks assignments.

Public Housing Sweeps Neg - Liza
Coast Guard Neg - Ben
Ban Insanity Defense Neg - Bo
International modelling DA against HIV exclusion - Noah
Line Item Veto CP (the negative itself) - Aaron
Kritik of Western Medicine - Lilly
Dryzek statism aff - Alyssa
Global warming - Emil
Post-election updates/internals - Alec/Persis****
Light Political Capital book - Ted
Performance Good - Lenny
Colleyville med recs case - Kevin

Due Dates:
Ted's assignment is due pre-Newburgh, that means Thursday November 9th.

Alec and Persis' assignment is also pre-Newburgh, but it is due Friday
November 10th early in the morning so it can be copied for people going
to Newburgh (see rationale for this due date below). I think the team
should have a discussion on how this is going to occur.

All other assignments are due pre-Glenbrooks, Wednesdy November 15th.

**** This assignment is very unique. The election is on Tuesday November
7th, according to Kevin. That means the Wednesday and Thursday papers
will have analysis for clinton internals. The problem is, we don't want
the assignment to be just for Wednesday's papers, that's not enough. 
Thus, we're giving you guys another day. Also, THE NATURE OF THIS
ASSIGNMENT IS THAT IT REQUIRES LOTS OF WORK WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHTS
BUT NOTHING BEFORE THEN!!!! Do not claim that you did not have time on
Wednesday and Thursday.... plan now to have open schedules so you can do
all the necessary work. We expect a good, comprehensive file. Make sure
you've searched all the major newspapers, websites, and magazines
thoroughly. 

Also, I'd recommend looking at Tuesday's newspapers..... perhaps they'll
have predictive cards or cards that say that "no matter who the pres. is
he'll need to do X to get his policies done."
