30 March 2006

With the deadline coming up for the biathlon entries, I just wanted to double-check with everyone.

1. We have complete entries from NAVY, ARMY, and USC.

2. St. Thomas faxed an intention that 3 persons would be competing in the 5K, but only sent 2 registration forms for Abdul Arbi and Brett Furber missing 3rd team member registration form.

3. Cal Poly indicated on the team entry form that 3 members would be competing in the 5K, but have yet to send forms. If anyone has put forms in the mail to us, will you please let me know? If you haven't mailed them out yet, please fax us copies at 310-258-8665.

4. Regarding the March 31 deadline, let me just copy the information from an earlier memo so that everyone has everything in one place. By March 31, we'd like to receive the following from each team. *A one-page (or longer, if the team wants) handout that includes the names of the team members, the team's "business identity," the judges' "business identity," an executive summary of the team's argument (not simply a description of the topics the presentation will cover), and an outline of the presentation that identifies which speaker handles which topic. We'll prepare a booklet that will be available to everyone at the competition.

*Copies of any Powerpoint shows. We want to load them ahead of time into the computers that we'll be using. If a team brings a revised version, we'll try to load that, but we've sometimes run into technical glitches that prevent this. At least this way, we know the team will have something that works. Please advise teams to have a low-tech backup plan, such as transparencies, just in case the system crashes.

*Race forms for anyone (student or faculty) planning to participate on Saturday morning. Please print out the form at http://www.ethicsandbusiness.org/run/entryform_2006-Biathlon.pdf, have each person fill one out and sign it, and then please mail them to me (Thomas White, Center for Ethics and Business, Loyola Marymount University, 1 LMU Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90045). We need the forms by this date so that our race timing company can put coded entries into the data base so that we'll then be able to determine the winners on Saturday. I also need to receive the forms directly so that there's no charge for the entry. Teams or individuals missing the March 31st deadline are still welcome to do the run as our guest, but we won't be able to get them into the database for the biathlon calculations.

Thanks,

Tom
