Book Author Reception Honorees
 Make plans now to attend the English Department’s Book Author
Reception, scheduled for Wednesday, March 21, 2001 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Pebble Hill. We
will be honoring those faculty members in the department who have published books between the time of the
last departmental reception and December 31, 2000 (we plan a similar reception
in 2002 for authors whose books are published in 2001).
Faculty members to be honored include: Paula Backscheider, Jon Bolton,
Jeremy Downes, Tim Dykstal, George Crandell, Don Cunningham, Peter Huggins,
Taylor Littleton, Patrick Morrow, Tom Nunnally, Constance Relihan, Robin Sabino, Betsy Smith, Judy Troy, and Hilary Wyss.
If you are among those people who should be honored and your name
does not appear here, please contact George Crandell.

Auburn University Academy of Lifelong Learners (AUALL).

Intramural softball is looming dangerously close for the mighty English
