She first compares teaching to performing onstage, >with all the excitement and nervousness that entails. "Appearing >before an audience is in some sense being nurtured and fed by >them. ... But performance is also an experience of being fed to >them, being devoured and consumed." Ms. Showalter even studied a >book on stage fright to build her confidence while teaching. The >emotional experience of "performing" in front of a class lies at >the heart of Ms. Showalter's belief that teaching is an >"intimate and personal" act. Because teaching is so personal, >many teachers are reluctant to "perform" in front of their >peers, she writes. But that is why professors -- especially >literature professors -- should attend the professional academic >lectures their colleagues give outside the classroom. Such >events, says Ms. Showalter, can show a lot about a given >professor's pedagogical techniques and stimulate innovation in >teaching. Another technique Ms. Showalter suggests to liven up >classrooms and conferences is the "one-minute paper." She >proposes wrapping up a few minutes early to ask the audience to >jot down: "1. What is the big point, the main idea, that you >learned in class today? 2. What is the main unanswered question >you leave class with today?" Not only would it be an invaluable >tool for teachers and conference presenters, it would be >especially useful for those who "always go 15 minutes overtime, >enjoy being incomprehensible, or who take advantage of a captive >audience."

She was slightly under the weight that the doctors usually prefer before releasing a newborn, but Marcy had struggled a bit recently with her own strength and all doctors agreed that both Isabela and Marcy will do best at home. We talked briefly about an opportunity at some time for staff to gather and wish them well. More on that later. She sends her warm regards to all of you.

Mr. Lindley, a professor of >international relations at the University of Notre Dame, uses >the film to teach students -- many of whom have no memories of >the Cold War -- about a range of policy issues. One of the main >points of the movie is the strategic importance of nuclear >deterrence and mutually assured destruction. Just as in real >life, the characters in "Dr. Strangelove" operate in a world >in which each side knows and fears the other's nuclear >capabilities. That fear and knowledge is indispensable for >effective deterrence. Otherwise, "deterrence is impossible if >the enemy fears nothing and does not mind being dead and >destroyed." Another theme of the movie echoed in the real world >is the concept of pre-emptive strikes. This policy highlights >another major problem, both in the movie and in reality: poor >military-civilian relations. In both the movie and in real life, >the military, which is enamored of the pre-emptive-strike >policy, tends to want to act independently of civilian >commanders.

The old Human Resources house will be the new Honor's Program House, operated by Andrea Labinger. 3. Over the summer, ULV purchased the house next to the Human Resources house...by the holidays, the Institute for Multicultural Research and Campus Diversity (IMRCD) should be moved into that space. 4. The IMRCD Space in the Student Center will be negotiated between Rex Huigens and Ruby. That's it for now. I wish you all peace.

Those who challenged met with some staunch opposition. Jennifer Holt, a doctoral candidate in film and television at the University of California at Los Angeles, notes that the producer and director of "Crossfire" (1947) were imprisoned as members of the Hollywood 10 after their depiction of anti-Semitism -- and denunciation of bigotry, in general -- caught the attention of the House Un-American Activities Committee. Filmmakers fared much better if they went to bat for the HUAC, suggests Ron Briley, an adjunct professor of history at the University of New Mexico at Valencia. He discusses "Big Jim McClain" (1952), which John Wayne directed from a script by friends of similar political persuasion. Wayne played an investigator for the HUAC combating communist subversion in Hawaii. The film's message, says Mr. Briley, was that, to resolve the crisis of the cold war, America must be "ever vigilant and ready to use force" and be willing to violate the rights of others in the process. The legacy of "Big Jim McClain," he writes, "remains troubling but tempting for those who seek simplistic answers in a complex world. If only real life were like the movies." Other articles emphasize that, in addition to political thrillers and westerns, films from other genres also dealt with cold-war themes. Boxing films, melodramas, and cartoons did, too. In an essay about such films as Robert Rosson's "Body and Soul," from 1947, Marc P. Singer, a doctoral candidate in American studies at New York University, explores how boxing films, which enjoyed great popularity early in the cold-war era, staked out varying and often opposing positions on such concepts as citizenship, manhood, and the individual's responsibility to self and family. "Boxing films played out the tension between individuality and conformity that so preoccupied the post-World War II era," writes Mr. Singer. They asked, "Should one fight for one's own self-respect, or for one's country, or could one simply refuse to fight in the face of McCarthyism and cold-war politics?"

Conceived in a fit of naive enthusiasm (of course there remains an audience of literate readers for little magazines!), it aims for inspired eclecticism, a happy melange of literary and visual forms."

Friedman, and the film "Snatch," by Guy Ritchie), as well as five poems, three illustrations, and 10 black-and-white photographs (including an experimental portfolio of shots taken in New Mexico with a cheap plastic lens).

Mr. Wolfson, executive editor of "The Public Interest," is adamantly opposed to cloning and genetic engineering, which he calls eugenics. He appears not to oppose "eugenics" to treat disease (although he is vague about whether he would support treatments that involve cloning). But he reserves his vitriol for the genetic researchers who chafe at any restrictions on their work. Mr. Wolfson argues that cloning and genetic manipulation affect all humanity, not just the scientists, and so must be regulated in order to prevent scientists from deciding what is right for humanity. He adds, "The price of the genetic engineer's autonomy is the people's freedom. It makes us slaves of a scientific elite." Ronald Bailey, science correspondent for "Reason," argues against restricting the study of genetic manipulation. Once humans can control DNA, he says, they will no longer be "meat puppets at the mercy of our genes. With biotech, our genes are now at the mercy of our minds." Not only will humans be able to eliminate genetic diseases, he says, but they will also have the ability to make their offspring smarter, more creative and more predisposed to be successful, thus making them happier as well as healthier. Genetic engineering, he argues, will actually be a freeing influence, giving genetically engineered children more options in life.

In the following weeks, an outbreak is recognized only after several people within the same city die of similar symptoms. The virus, which attacks the brain and can be carried by native mosquitoes, hides in the environment until conditions are favorable for it to re-emerge. James M. Wilson, a pediatrician at Georgetown University Hospital, notes that this scenario actually took place in 1999, when airport-based surveillance systems proved ineffective in preventing the introduction of West Nile virus to New York City. In a special forum in the journal, infectious-disease experts consider the transnational movement of pathogens and how it affects national security in the United States. David L. Heymann, the executive director of the communicable-diseases cluster at the World Health Organization, writes that WHO has recently stepped up its disease surveillance activities, partly in response to "the understandable reluctance of some countries to acknowledge outbreaks" because of their negative impact on tourism and trade. He says that if the current system of disease surveillance and reporting had been in place in the early 1980s, "AIDS might never have become a global epidemic on the scale we see today." Duane J. Gubler, the director of the division of vector-borne infectious diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, returns to the topic of West Nile virus. The epidemic "demonstrates once again the ease with which exotic pathogens can spread to new geographic locations in today's era of modern transportation and the increased movement of humans, animals, and commodities." Infectious diseases, he says, "are here to stay."

Pink wonders why American students look so bad on international comparisons of knowledge, while the American economy outperforms those of other countries. "If we're so dumb, how come we're so rich?" asks Mr. Pink, a contributing editor to "Fast Company." He argues that the American economy succeeds despite American education, not because of it, and adds that changes in the economy are about to drive changes in the educational system. More Americans than ever before are "free agents," working for themselves, in loose arrangements with employers, or outside of long-term commitments to specific companies. Children educated through home schooling or in nontraditional high schools are going to do well in this economy, writes Mr. Pink, who also foresees fewer children being educated in traditional public schools. In higher education, he predicts that degrees will become less important. "People's need for knowledge doesn't respect semesters," he writes. Distance education will grow because it allows people to tailor their education to their specific needs. He also sees growth in "learning groupies," people who attend conferences or meetings to pick up particular skills or expand their knowledge. These shifts will lead people to question the value of paying big bucks to attend elite colleges, Mr. Pink writes. "Attending a fancy college serves three purposes in contemporary life: to prolong adolescence, to award a credential that's modestly useful early in one's working life, and to give people a network of friends." Will people see value there? Mr. Pink sees "big trouble in Ivy City."

The House Bill (H.R. 2975) and >The Senate Bill (S.1510) have language that is identical as it relates to >educational records.

Mr. Lovett was >of both society and academe. As an academic, he taught and wrote >tirelessly, and devoted himself to his students' and his >university's needs and interests. As a member of society, he was >still an academic: teaching to the potential of the women in his >classes as well as the men, and insisting that his students go >out into the city and describe the social problems they saw. He >also took part in labor actions, much to the ire of the Chicago >establishment, and argued against America's entry into World War >I, a stance that led to his being burned in effigy by angry >Chicagoans. Mr. Grafton, through the example of Mr. Lovett, >tells us that a public intellectual should be an intellectual -- >namely, "progressive" -- and open about his or her opinions, >unafraid to challenge the public. To those who think that one >has to choose between academe and the public forum, Mr. Grafton >says Mr. Lovett proves otherwise.

Ms. Elshtain and other writers >respond to the question, "What quality of light do scholars and >other thinkers throw on the public mind today?" She notes that >one challenge for today's leading minds is that "many of our >broader civic problems do not lend themselves to the sorts of >thematic and cultural generalizations that have historically >been the stuff of most public intellectual discourse." The >various arguments that surround major ethical concerns are so >compelling that "each side seems to have some part of the >truth," she writes. A second challenge, she says, is that >Americans find it difficult to think about sin, which was the >focus of much public intellectual discourse from the time of >Jonathan Edwards to Reinhold Niebuhr. Moral voices with public >clout that "warned us against our tendency toward cultural pride >and triumphalism seem no longer to exist." Wilfred M. McClay, a >professor of humanities at the University of Tennessee at >Chattanooga, challenges the historical profession to "take more >seriously its role as a potential shaper of the public mind and >public life."

In a three-person >exchange, Bryan S. Turner, a professor of sociology at the >University of Cambridge, proposes the "sociology of the body" as >a basis for defending a universal theory of human rights. The >frailty of the body and the ubiquity of human misery provide a >foundation for these rights, he suggests. Mr. Turner disagrees >with critics who suggest that suffering can be too culturally >specific. He notes the words of Shylock in "The Merchant of >Venice": "If you prick us, do we not bleed?" Vulnerability and >suffering, he writes, are "a constant standard for the assertion >of a human bond across generations and cultures." Murray J. >Milner Jr., a professor of sociology at the University of >Virginia, says there are limitations to linking sociology and >politics primarily to an analysis of the body. A fully developed >sociological theory of human rights should identify not only >what enables people to understand one another, "but what social >mechanisms enable people to reach sufficient levels of >solidarity that they respect the rights of others." Says >Margaret E. Mohrmann, an associate professor of generalist >medicine at the University of Virginia: "It seems clear that, >even if medicine wants to and tries very hard to decrease basic >human frailty, it has not, likely will not, probably cannot." >Educational efforts such as curricular offerings in >"spirituality and medicine" and an emphasis on the >doctor-patient relationship seem to represent the efforts of the >medical profession to "deal with the tangled disorders of >persons and society that show up in clinics every day," she >writes.

Ms. Moore, a professor of >humanities at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, first >disputed the popular notion that short stories, in contrast to >novels, appeal to the short attention span of the modern reading >public: "You need 35, 40 minutes to read a good short story, >whereas you don't necessarily need that to continue reading a >novel"; furthermore, she points out, "40 uninterrupted minutes >are sometimes, perhaps increasingly, difficult to come by." That >need for narrative flow is shared by the writer, Ms. Moore >added, for the "short story is written in a manner similar to >the way it's read, which is all at once. ... Whether it's on the >eleventh draft or on the first draft, there's a wholeness to it, >a momentum to it, a seeing of it all the way through from >beginning to end." Ms. McGraw, an associate professor of English >at Ohio State University, also acknowledged the inherent >comparison to the novel that the short story faces. "As soon as >we start talking about the short story, the long shadow of the >novel shades our conversation," she observed. "After all, the >short story is only short in comparison with longer works." Ms. >McGraw, noting the 20th-century love affair with the novel, >added, "Nobody talks about wanting to write the great American >short story (although maybe people should)." Mr. Burgin, the >founding editor of the journal and a professor of communication >and English at Saint Louis University, sounded a note of >encouragement: "It occurs to me that if time is infinite, and >literature keeps proliferating with it, it's going to be >increasingly attractive for writers to write and readers to read >short stories to get any sense of this monster of literary >history that just won't stop."

The >popularity of the two-day naval battle bears "a distinct >resemblance to the way that Southern historians have written >about the Battle of Gettysburg," he writes. > >Although the Battle of Jutland changed nothing from a strategic >standpoint, it is seen as one of the decisive battles of naval >history, he writes.

Like >Gettysburg, the memory of Jutland (in the British imagination) >is of "an opportunity lost." And, he says, "it symbolizes the >inability of an island nation to sustain a hundred years of >Ruling the Waves." According to Mr. Rubin, the various books >about the Battle of Jutland, even "masterful" ones like Andrew >Gordon's "The Rules of the Game" (1996), cannot fully resolve >the long-standing Jutland controversy.

Although John will be reporting to Phil, our partnership and positive team spirit in collaborating on University events, incidents, and situations will remain. I thank John for all the efforts and positive energy he has given to our division. I can truly say that John Lentz has made a difference for the students, faculty and staff at ULV. He and his staff have gone to the "fifth level of commitment." To recognize his efforts in our division we will be having a no host lunch in his honor (yes, we will treat John, but you must pay for yourselves). Here is the information for the lunch: Day and Date: Friday, November 16, 2001 Time: 12:00 noon Location: Heroes (La Verne) Please RSVP to Laura by Thursday, November 15 so we have an idea of the numbers. I hope to see you all there. Any questions...feel free to give me a call. Take care all, Retta Loretta H. Rahmani, Ed.D.

That decade led, she writes, to a demand for >"contemporary 'relevance' in the curriculum [that] produced a >relaxing of academic methods and demands" and spawned more >courses that concern only the present day. A second reason, she >continues, is "the new interest in multiculturalism" -- a >phenomenon that has led to "shortcuts ... to democratizing the >curriculum: the number of texts by white European males was >reduced to make room" for works by female and minority authors. >Unfortunately, Ms Paglia writes, sometimes those replacements >were made "without due regard for whether the substitute texts, >which were often contemporary, had the same cultural weight or >substance as what they replaced." > >Ms. Paglia defends the literary canon against attacks that it is >elitist. "When scrutinized over a time-span of thousands of >years," she writes, "canon-formation, a process always fluid and >open to debate, is more intimately linked to artistic impact >than to political ideology." In other words, the canon is a >measure of "artistic or intellectual fertility" -- how one's >writings influenced his or her successors, and to what degree. > >It is this continuity of intellectual tradition that Ms. Paglia >seeks to preserve.

We did not put a value on the gift. If you need to, I'd think of
something between $5 and $15. More importantly, we suggest that you give
something that represents your "culture, ethnicity, or family." We could have
added: your own personal interests. Unfortunately, John Lentz is no longer part
of our division or one of us would perhaps enjoy something "western" as a gift.

2. Directions to our home and telephone number:
Telephone: 909/599-9463
Directions from the East:
1. Follow Bonita Avenue through La Verne towards San Dimas
2. At Damian High School, turn left on to Damian Avenue.
3. Turn left at the second street=97Juanita
4. We are on the first corner=97the northeast corner of Fernshaw and Juanita.
5. You may park on Fernshaw or on Juanita.

List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi everyone, I know that I mentioned on Monday that the actual request for expenditures were still in process. Now as the Directors are all aware...each person responsible for a budget was asked to submit a password so that they can access their budget 2002-2003 Expenditure Budget Request Forms electronically. We will be talking in one-to-ones (or some of you to Ruby) regarding this process more specifically. Avo gave us the Budget Office's working definition of "extraordinary requests": these are expenditures, without which, the operations of the department can seriously be jeopardized. During our next one-to-ones and talking with Ruby, I will ask you for your budget information (or lack of budget information). Ah, the budget process...to be continued! Thanks for all you do.
