BIHR: The European Sovereign Debt Crisis (ESDC) Will Destroy The Eurozone.

Definitions:
By European sovereign debt crisis (ESDC), I am referring to the rising government debt of the Eurozone member states. The European sovereign debt crisis started in 2008, with the collapse of Iceland’s banking system, and spread to primarily to Greece, Ireland and Portugal during 2009. The debt crisis led to a crisis of confidence for European businesses and economies.

By destroy the Eurozone, I mean ESDC will lead to breakup of the eurozone or the withdrawal of the members with strong economies.

Come out to Phi Kappa Hall on North Campus at 7 p.m. to see Bro. Kincaid present and Sis. Roth negate!

Freshman Orations 

The long awaited Thursday has finally come, when the Freshman members of Phi Kappa Literary Society will stand before the society and present an unplanned resolution. The older members have been scheming for weeks over the topics, their whispers echoing off the walls of Phi Kappa Hall and the SLC. What could the resolutions be? 

Come out to Phi Kappa Hall this Thursday at 7 p. m. to see the annual Freshman Orations, a meeting like no other.

 

To the Freshman siblings, I suggest you “check yourself before you wreck yourself.” 

Good luck to all.
