PREFROSH WEEKEND! - As if time didn't pass
quickly enough already, this weekend we will be welcoming
prospective Republican members of the Class of 2009 to Harvard
during prefrosh weekend. The following is our schedule of
events - Please come to the ice cream bash and debate
to show the prefrosh that conservatism is alive and well on
campus! Wear your HRC T-shirt! We want to
increase Harvard's yield of Republican students.
Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, 8 AM, John Harvard's Statue - Postering!
One of the most important things we'll do this
weekend is put up posters welcoming Republican prefrosh and
advertising our events this weekend. Meet at 8 at the John
Harvard statue to help us - we need as many of you as
possible! Email Meghan (mgrizzle@fas)
to volunteer.
Saturday,
1 PM, Harvard Hall 102 - Ice Cream Bash!
Come talk to prospective Republican students about HRC and
Harvard in general and help convince them to come! Partially-gelatinated

Saturday, 2
PM, Harvard Hall 201 - Debate with the Dems! We
will be debating the Harvard Democrats on the topic of
"The Bush Doctrine" to a super-full crowd of
prefrosh, and we want a friendly audience! Stop by to cheer on
our debaters. (Those interested in debating should contact CR
- sincock@fas)
Saturday,
3-5 PM, Science Center (ground floor) - Prefrosh Activities
Fair! HRC will have our all-important
table at the activities fair immediately following the debate,
and we want to have lots of people there for a show of force!
This is how we develop our membership lists and it is crucial.

you're willing to skip the debate to get there EARLY.

content that would threaten national security? Where
does the Internet fit into this picture? Come debate your
fellow students at 6:00 on Thursday in the IOP First Floor
Conference Room. Contact Vivek (ramasw@fas)
