Phi Kappa Phi Forum Editor, Pat Kaetz
Phi Kappa Phi Forum is the general interest magazine of the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi. Editor Pat Kaetz, Associate Editor Stephanie Bond, and Graphic Designer Laura Kloberg make up the Phi Kappa Phi Forum staff. Each quarterly issue of the magazine centers on a different theme to reflect the multidisciplinary nature of its audience. Authors are invited to submit articles based on their expertise. Many renown figures have contributed articles, including Norman Cousins, Stanley Fish, Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, and Myrlie Evers-Williams.

Kaetz joined Phi Kappa Phi Forum as the magazine's editor in 1993 after spending four years as a technical editor and document production manager for a major international engineering firm. An Auburn University alum, he earned his MA from the University of Alabama and his PhD from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In addition to serving as the Editor for Phi Kappa Phi Forum, Dr. Kaetz teaches Business Writing, Great Books, and Technical Writing.

English Department End-of-Term Party - RSVP by Friday, December 5
After the success of last year's end-of-term party, the Department has arranged for this year's party to take place at Pebble Hill on Thursday, December 11 at 6:00 pm.

With your help, we'll be able to replicate last year's wonderful potluck feast. Wines and alternate beverages will be covered by a $3.00 per person contribution that will also help to pay for other essentials. Festive tunes will be performed by musicians in the Department.

If you plan to attend the party, please fill out the green form you received in your mailbox, attach your contribution, and submit them to Diane Curtis (8009 Haley Center) by Friday, December 5.

Call for Great Books/World Literature Scheduling, Fall 2004
Please email Constance Relihan by Monday, December 8 if there is a chance you might be scheduled to teach World Literature in the fall and you would like to participate in the pilot scheduling program. (Please also indicate if you would be willing to accept a split MWF/TR schedule if you participate in the program.)

Participants in this program have their section(s) of World Literature/Great Books assigned before registration, develop a brief description of their section that is made available for students online, and administer a couple of surveys to students to help gauge student response to the program.
