would like to invite all faculty to our annual reception to be held on Wednesday, November 3rd, at 4:00 p.m.

Call for PapersConstance Relihan and a colleague are interested in editing a collection of new essays
on early modern (1580-1640) English prose fiction and the construction of
sexualities. Please pick up a more detailed call for papers (deadline August
31, 2000) from Constance Relihan if you know someone who might be interested in submitting
an essay for consideration.
It's Mock Interview Time!Graduate Students and instructors wishing to go through a mock MLA
interview should contact Jon Bolton or Constance Relihan, the job placement
advisors, by November 10th. Interviews will most likely be conducted during the
week following Thanksgiving. We hope to have a committee of three
professorial faculty members, including one whose research area overlaps
with the candidate's interests, conduct each interview.Professorial faculty members please note: if students/instructors in your
field request an interview you will be contacted about your availability to
help conduct the interviews. We know that your schedules will be very full
during the week after Thanksgiving, but hope that you will be able to be
generous with whatever time you do have.
Out of Date, Out of MindIf you have put perishable items in either of the department refrigerators in recent months, please check to see if these same items now need to be discarded. Coffee cream and other dairy products are a particular problem; recently some cartons of creamer with April expiration dates were removed from the ninth-floor fridge. As a courtesy to those who use the refrigerators on a daily basis and for the safety of innocent bystanders who could be knocked down by the odor, please don't leave things to spoil.
Tutors Needed for Boys and Girls ClubThe Junior League of Lee County and The Boys and Girls Clubs of Lee County
are working together to enhance the educational
efforts of the Clubs, immediately focusing on the Opelika Club.
So far, the room has been painted, new furniture has been installed,
and we are in the process of purchasing new learning materials. We are
awaiting new computers and Internet access.The next step, and the most important one, is establishing a tutor network
for the students, elementary through senior high. For the rest of this
quarter we will appreciate the help of all Auburn University students who
have the desire to teach at-risk-but-eager learners and who can schedule an
hour or two at the center between 2:30 and 8:30 p.m., Monday through
Thursday. If you know of any students interested in tutoring, please have them contact Ginny Roy, with the AU Department of Education, who is scheduling
tutors. Any interested students should call her at 844-4448.
