February 2008 Archives
Hey guys,
Here are the minutes from last nights meeting.
- - - - - -
The Holocaust/ Genocide reading is still planned for March 13. 2008 @ 7:30 p.m. in sully hangout (where SHU has it's movie night). Darren is donating food for the event, and it's going to be a coffe house setting. We have 10 readers so far ranging from faculty to students who will be presenting poetry and prose. We are estimating like 5 min. per person, but obviously with poetry we are going to have to make some exceptions, haha. The flyers were also taken care of (THANKS GIRLS!!! ) and they look wonderful. We're titling the event Silent Voices Heard: A genocide reading.
If you are planning on reading, you need to acquire the following asap. Title of piece, author, date, brief background history. This is to be sent to Mary Clark at cla7691@setonhill.edu by March 4th. We are also planning on sending out a global email, posting it on the newsfeed on the main web page, emailing faculty, putting posters up around campus and in teachers mailboxes, giving updates to RA's, etc. I know some teachers are also giving extra credit for attendance.
If you would like to help set up for the event, or read, PLEASE EMAIL ME (unless I already know of course from your attendance at the last meeting). I really think that this is going to be a GREAT event, so I hope to hear back from all of you soon!
Oh, and the CarrerWorks English Major Awareness event will be held on March 9th, 2008 @ 7:00 p.m. We haven't ironed out a lot of the details yet because of our focuse on the event above, but if you would like to help, please let me know in advance!

Pullen says her teaching style for this show involved having the students consider the Shakespeare comedy as if it were an animated feature. "We chose to take off on the physical antics, almost like a cartoon. It's a great approach for this production," she says.I told my students to expect a lot of slapstick when they see the play. Looks like they won't be disappointed.
ENGLISH CLUB MEETING TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY FEB. 27
@ 8:30 P.M. IN SULLY HANGOUT.
-Anyone that is planning on reading at the event must either attend or give me a sample of the literature that they are planning on presenting.
If you can attend, please email me or contact me on my blog.

A great series
hosted by Heidi Ruby Miller, a recent graduate of Seton Hill's Writing
Popular Fiction program. She has asked writers of genre fiction
(fantasy, crime, etc.) to tell the story of their first publication.
I'm just starting a career track unit in Introduction to Literary
Study, and several of the students want to be professional writers.
Every writer follows her own path within the publishing industry, which makes for entertaining and inspiring stories off the page. Paths to Publication offers some of those unique perspectives. I hope it also gives us all comfort knowing that our journey as writers is not just the breaks we get, but also the opportunities we take.
Last week, former Setonian editor-in-chief and New Media Journalism graduate Amanda Cochran covered Hillary Clinton's Super Tuesday campaign party for NYU Tonight.The broadcast is in Real Media format, which is apparently designed to be really annoying to people who want to take screen captures. I ended up having to take a photo of my laptop screen.
Random thoughts are exactly what they are, random!
Anyone can say random words. It does
Have favorable results. His attempts to woo
-- But never all the way -- toward the cliff
Conform to something so unlike yourself
The other points are pretty valid. It's
A place to jot down information as
Questions. For example: how many?
Some mystery, not just telling the story
And one of the issues that I struggled with
Has meaning and the other does not. Which
Alters it, stepping farther and farther away
From the last meeting to give you an idea.
I should just take a note book and go sit
At the food court at the mall.

After conducting a web survey of "18- to 24-year-old students enrolled full-time at a four-year college or university," researchers say that Mozilla Firefox has caught up to Internet Explorer in a contest for "most preferred Web
browser." I'm a bit surprised by this... I have the impression that many students who use IE are simply clicking on the icon that Microsoft puts on their desktop, without making a conscious choice.
