Very well, I think.  I know of at least two upper-level English courses
here that have used e-mail:  Bibliography and Methods of Research
(grad students only) and Language and Culture (grad and upper-level
undergrad).  As far as I know, they've gotten along fine.

This is about another commencement speaker. The University of Rhode Island will
have Bob Hope recieving an honorary degree and giving a speech.  Students on
campus are mad because they say that they do not associate themselves with him.
Our college news paper, The Good Five Cent Cigar, reported that one of the
reasons deal ol' Bob was asked is because of his last name which is also our
school and state motto.  The following are the top twenty alternate choices
given by senior: 1. Magic Johnson 2.Nelson Mandela 3.Anita Hill 4.Jodie Foster
5.Wayne and Garth 6.Johnny Carson 7.Jane Pauly 8.Sting 9.Ben and Jerry
10. Whoopi Goldberg 11.Paul Newman 12.Oprah Winfrey 13.Dave Dravecky 14. Frank
Zappa 15.Elizabet Taylor 16.Mother Teresa 17. Nikhail Gorbachev 18. Betty Ford
19. Don Henley 20. Arnold Scharzenagger.
In asking my friends who are going to graduate they are spilt, some don't care
some think it's great and others jsut want to graduate.

But wait -- that's *my* line.  I've been saying over and over that we

     Excuse me?  Are you saying that having a difference in the
conjugation of a particular tense being dependent on the 'person' of
the noun does not constitute redundancy?  (Since the 's' of the verb
'walks' can only occur with a third-person singular noun, isn't the
's' in "He walks." redundant?  What additional information is it
conveying that isn't already in the rest of the structure of the
sentence?  When passing information, redundancy is a requirement.  If
there is absolutely no redundancy, then there is no way to determine
if an error occurred in transmission, and thus no way of knowing if
what one heard is what was said or meant.

     Also, it is competition that causes organisms to 'improve' their
economy (if by 'economy' you mean efficiency).  Because of their
nature of acquisition, I don't see many ways to introduce competition
into the language arena to force 'uneconomic' ideas out.

  Actually I have only been borrowing Natalie's language. She said that

language. This had the appearance of a positive claim; hence my probing

     I'm not sure if it is purely illegal, but it is definitely
against policy.  Besides, how good a collection does this jerk have?
I didn't spot any of the early 'Groo' (especially the Pacific ones) or
'Howard the Duck'.  Looked like it was all super heroes protraying an
unhealthy machismo in order to hide feelings of inferiority or

There seem to be regular postings pertaining to SNL, so I can't resist
asking if everyone who loves it (as I do) realizes that clips are replayed
daily on MTV....Even though I get TV Guide--the listing just says" Saturday
Night", so I never realized what it was...one of my student assistants
informed me...NOT that I would EVER watch MTV, of course!  Actually, the
truth is, that although I did live in that benighted state until recently, now
that I'm catching the SNL reruns, I am developing quite an interest in MTV...
I'm especially impressed by the way they stress the need for watchers to vote..
.it's not nearly as "corrupt and horrible" as I presumed..ahem! even us 40+

On Soapbox

     Ahem.  Are you saying that starting schools so that one's
children do not have to associate with those of a lesser economic tier
is *not* avoiding integration?  While a lot of schools were founded (I
think precominately in the 50's and early 60's) to avoid racial
integration, a common reason given was so that their children would
get a better education.  Why is one of these defensible and the other
reprehensible?  I have a hard time seeing why prejudice based on race
is significantly different than prejudice based one's financial worth.
And the North doesn't have clean hands when it comes to racial
discrimination, either.

Off Soapbox

     This kind of generalization is a sore point with me.  I have deep
family roots in the Deep South, and I was outraged when my (Yankee)
history teachers had nothing but bad things to say about the South and
good about the North.  Both sides had (and still have) an over
abundance of scoundrels.  Having lived in both areas, I prefer the
Southern racist's company to the Northern variety.  The southerner
tends to be more honest and open, even if I despise his view.

Huh?  I think I must be worrying about ungraded papers.  I can't make much
sense of this part.  I agree that children go through stages of "errors"
based on analogy -- like "sheepses" -- and then absorb the standard forms
(standard for the dialect they are acquiring).  The part I don't quite
understand is about "their own system."
