Dear Eric,

Thanks for last night's event. I don't know if Sarah Cunningham would be interested in or accept this offer, but it can't hurt to ask. She's our #5
No word from Kelly Thomas as yet, but likely that 2 others will come. We do have two more back ups in poetry... I hope this might work--otherwise we'll likely have 3 poets coming. Unless something in English opens off of another minority match in another program, Michele told me. We ought to really chat up Ms. Thomas, I think, but I fear she may not come, too.

See you Sat, Mon (at CW mtg and class). 

Agenda items for me are courses and coverage next year, besides readers.

David

Writers!

     Our next meeting is April 2nd, 10 am, in 358 (Not counting the party meeting at my house this Saturday night.)

     Please forward agenda items.   Already on the list are readers for next year.

      In news:   As the fiction cohort knows, Frank Jordan said he would cover all expenses if I invited Peter Orner to visit next year.   Peter has accepted, for sometime in January, date still to be fixed.

     Lu-Ming Mao has forwarded to me an offer for an additional modified GA (from the business school), that would cover tuition, and an 8-hr/week stipend (I believe this would be about half, or perhaps 40% of the regular stipend). We need to act quickly on this, and decide how to use it.   Since there's been a turndown of minority-matched poet, and there are, therefore, only 3 new lines in poetry, if the first person out of the money in poetry would have strong editing skills—that's what the GA involves, editing the writing of a business professor—perhaps that's what we should do with it?

     Eric
