IV. 2nd Annual Bipartisan Paintball Brawl - Enlistment has already begun for the Second Annual Bipartisan Paintball Brawl! The Harvard College Democrats are coming out strong after last year's humiliating defeat, and we need 36 brave men and women to defend our title and our honor. The tournament will be one of the largest and most popular social events of the year - certainly the most enjoyable. (Can you think of anything better than shooting paintballs at Democrats?). The "brawl" (or, as in last year, the "annihilation") will be held at Boston Paintball on Thursday, February 8th from 6-10pm. The cost is $31 and includes EVERYTHING - rental gun, goggles, and face protection, 500 paintballs, two-way shuttle transportation, dinner, and a custom tournament t-shirt. For more information and to register/pay for the tournament, go to http://www.paintballbrawl.com/. We can only take 36 Republicans, and we fully expect to fill up in 48 hours or less, so don't delay! We hope you join us in this epic war - one that the Democrats actually support!  Email Vice President of Social Events Zachary Smith with any questions at zsmith@fas.harvard.edu.

V. Apply to be an IOP Liaison! - Deadline this Friday! - Apply to be a liaison to one of the IOP six new resident fellows for the Spring term.
