Re: ans Tuna

No one asked me for a proxy.  I offered it without inducement and 
publicly to avoid any appearance of "evil".  I guess I also have a 
conflict of interest, since I believe such a vote would be in the best 
interests of my program and my students--who would not just be debating 
Harvard and Northwestern, but Cornell and Vermont as well.

And why should someone who believes strongly in something avoid 
"collecting" proxies?  Because these activities are currently separate, I 
am unable to cast my own vote at CEDA nats.  I can't participate in the 
ensuing discussion but I am a member of CEDA and interested in its future 
as well.  And I believe in Tuna's proposal.  In fact, I am doing 
whatever I can to make things happen in NDT at the same time.  But 
Prof. Korcok doesn't seem to think that proxies are democratice.  Maybe we 
should start requiring poll taxes and allegience oaths for CEDA voters.

Or I've got another idea.  Maybe we should prohibit all members of the 
CEDA executive council from being active members of the community.  Or 
maybe....
