I like this suggestion, Rhonda. It reminded me that one benefit of the newsletter editorship, which I shared over a three year period with colleagues in our Writing Centre, was that it created an added focus for interest in each other's thinking and teaching. So it could well serve as a springboard for creative work among faculty and students. But procedures for the less exciting tasks of keeping up lists of subscribers, stuffing envelopes, and so on would have to be re-invented at each new institution or venue for each new issue, and that sounds like a drag.

The newsletter would jump from venue to venue with each edition, it would be limited to intensive labour within 14-15 week parameters, and would be a way to keep recruited interest in rhetoric. We've (University College of the Fraser Valley) got a couple of courses here (210 Advanced Comp, 371 Advanced Comp; Theory and Practice) that could do well with an edition. > > Anthony Paré Chair Department of Educational Studies Faculty of Education McGill University 3700 McTavish Street Montreal, Quebec H3A 1Y2 514-398-5600
