R: Drill Baby Drill

Thursday, March 24th at 7:30 pm in the Calhoun Parlor

Join us as we take on energy issues, conservation, and environmental concerns. How should our country treat our oil reserves? Is this the best time to dip into them? What is on the horizon of energy technology? What is a conservative's duty to conserve nature? Would we be regressing to the early 20th century progressive desire to subjugate nature if we drill in ANWR?

R: This House Prefers Unions to Fat Cats

Thursday, March 3rd at 7:30 pm in the Calhoun Parlor

R: ABANDON DIDO

Thursday, February 10th at 7:30 pm in the Calhoun Parlor

Please join us for this referendum on love, loss, and destiny. Must we build the Roman Empire? Or may we retire to pre-lapsarian homes of love and anonymity. Should we ever put career before relationship? Come to defend love, come to defend destiny, come to defend Dido!

R: Football is the Greatest American Sport

Thursday, February 3rd at 7:30 pm in the Calhoun Parlor

Super Bowl weekend approaches, and the Federalist Party party is eager to join the rest of America in our modern day gladiatorial fights... or are we? Is this the sport that best captures the American spirit? Should we be tuning into a baseball or basketball game instead? What does football represent about our culture? And for that matter does America even have a culture? All our welcome to join us for what promises to be a jovial debate.
