For anyone who missed the meeting, or for anyone who is completely new to this, or for anyone who came to the meeting but has since been brainwashed with one of those flashy things from Men in Black:
- We want to have our next poetry reading soon. You can bring poetry to read or you can just sit there, eat delicious food, drink (alcoholic) beverages, and listen to people read. No analysis allowed. Dr. Habib says his friend would be willing to host it — we’re hoping for early October. I will post a date as soon as we have one.
- Last year the English department hosted a number of student/faculty colloquiums, beginning with a talk by Dr. Marchitello on the “two cultures” (the divide between science and literature), and following up with Dr. Fitter, Dr. Ledoux, and others. They’re a lot of fun, and there’s free food (and way too much of it), so you should definitely come. Sarah mentioned Dr. FitzGerald and two other professors as candidates for talks this semester. October, November, and December sound reasonable, since we’d like to have three colloquiums and those are our three remaining months. The first one is tentative at the moment.
- You can blame me for the lack of pizza. I overslept the day I was supposed to be at the Nuts and Bolts meeting, which means the ESO isn’t allowed to apply for even a dollar. Sorry.
- We’ve rescheduled our Renaissance Faire trip to Saturday, October 24.
- We are looking for new officers! Our president (Sarah), vice president (me), and treasurer (Caitlin) are graduating and won’t be here next semester. I will still be editing Writers’ Bloc, though.
