Here's a quote from yesterday's Newsletter of the Edwin Lawrence Debate Union at the University of Vermont:
"Finally, there is always room for a first. Just when you think you have seen it all, something new comes up. This weekend the Finnish organization LAAKEA had planned a debate workshop for professors of English in Tampere, Finland and had invited Alfred Snider, LDU director, to hold the workshop. After that there was to be a two-day workshop for student debaters planned. However, the eruption of the Iceland volcano has caused this program to be cancelled because Snider simply cannot get there. “I have never had an event cancelled because of volcanic activity,” said Snider, “but we are working on using Skype to hold the debater workshop. I hope that I can go back in the fall for the teacher workshop.” "
