Mark O. Hatfield Debates

February 27-28, 2010

Due to Willamette’s Spring Preview Day, several changes have been made to the schedule in terms of placement of events:

1. Registration will now happen in the University Center.
2. Topic Announcement/Ballot Pick Up and Return will also be in the University Center at the Cat Cavern (2nd floor UC)
3. Internet Access should be available to everyone at any of the competition rooms.
4. There is no Saturday Dinner. Spring Preview managed to snag the Cat Cavern at the last minute during the evening, which means we did not have a place to host dinner. Instead, we will be serving lunch on Saturday and the Senior Honor will happen at a very fancy Teriyaki lunch on Sunday. (So same number of meals, but now Dinner on Saturday will be on your own.)
