Tim,
I am sure that you will continue the excellent work that has been
done with SiS. Thanks for accepting the job. I look forward to reading
the next issue.

>A few weeks ago Amy Benjamin, president of ATEG, sent out a request for a
>volunteer to assume the duties of the editor of Syntax in the Schools, the
>official journal of ATEG. I volunteered, and I am happy to announce that
>my application has been accepted by the board and officers of ATEG.
>Beginning immediately, I will be serving as the new editor for SiS.
>

>It would be appropriate to thank Anne Lobeck and Kristin Denham for their
>service to ATEG as editors of SiS. They brought a high level of scholarly
>expertise, editorial knowledge, and professional zeal to their tasks, and
>the quality of SiS reflected their commitment to excellence. Thank you,
>Anne and Kristin, for all you did to keep SiS a high-quality professional
>publication.

>Let me tell you a little about myself. I am finishing a Ph.D. in Technical
>Communication and Rhetoric at Texas Tech University, where I have
>specialized in issues related to writing, composition pedagogy, and the
>rhetoric of grammar. My dissertation research will interest some of you: I
>am (among other things) arguing that the conclusions of Braddock (1963)
>and Hillocks (1986) regarding the teaching of grammar were, by and large,
>selective (mis)interpretations of the available data, designed to reach a
>predetermined conclusion opposed to the teaching of grammar.

>During my time at Texas Tech I have taught courses in freshman composition
>and technical writing. I have also served as assistant director of the
>University Writing Center, and I am currently working as a research
>assistant in the Graduate School. I am also a freelance professional
>technical editor and technical writer.

>I am still technically a graduate student, but, alas, I am not as young as
>that makes me sound. This is a second career for me. I am 55 years old and
>a grandfather (pictures upon request), with 20+ years experience in
>college-level teaching. I have been very fortunate to sort of "stumble
>into" one of the top technical writing programs in the nation here at
>Texas Tech, and I will graduate with a Ph.D. in the fall, at which time I
>will be seriously interested in finding a full-time job <hint>.

>I'll be attending our conference in Chicago in July, at which time one of
>the conference sessions will be devoted to a discussion of what we can do
>to improve our journal. I will gladly receive, then or now, any
>suggestions and input you may have for the journal/newsletter. Because of
>the transition to a new editor, the next issue of SiS is tentatively
>scheduled for the fall. Marshall Myers, our book review editor, has
>several book reviews ready to publish, but I'm not sure if we have any
>submitted articles. So, let me make my first solicitation as editor: WE
>NEED ARTICLES. Please do not think that you can publish an article in SiS
>only if it is at a "scholarly" level. We also need, and will publish,
>practical articles that contain teaching tips, at any level, dealing with
>K-12 language arts as well as college-level composition-which happens to
>be right in line with the theme of our conference this year.
>
>
>
>So, if you have articles to submit, please send them to me at this address:
