Now is the month of Maying, when grad students are playing! Fa la la la la!
Done with each weary class, and semester’s morass, fa la la la la!
TAs, clad all in gladness, do laugh at freshmen’s sadness! Fa la la la la!
And to alarm clock’s sound, no GAs must look round! Fa la la la la!
Fie! Then why sit you at email, ye noble men and females? Fa la la la la! Yet read this digest brief! Then off to spring’s relief! Fa la la la la!
I know we are all eager ot begin our summer rest (or summer work, as the case may be), but this, the last EGSA Digest of the 2009- 2010 school year, contains some very important information about funding, elections, and more. Therefore, I am sure you are all eager to
READ the attached notes from last week’s EGSA Executive Council Meeting. These notes contain important updates on funding, contracts, GPD, the Conference Committee and more.
VOTE one last time for an empty seat on the Conference Committee. Four of the five seats have been assigned according to the number of votes received in the original election:
Election Results: Nathan Kilpatrick
Rachel Webster Michael Milburn David Clark James Watson
However, since the receipt of these results, Michael Milburn has declined his election. Therefore, please send your vote for ONE of the following candidates. The winner of this election will take Michael’s place on the committee:
Lisa Echtenkamp Dustin Morrow Julie Ooms Margy Thomas
EMAIL Steve Petersheim if you would like to help him revise and edit the EGSA Flyer for incoming students and/or if you would like to help him organize the Hoagwood Lecture on Film and Literature this fall. More details are included in the attached notes.
KNOW that Dr. Vitanza has added an extra seat to each of the fall seminars, and that a Modern American (Dr. Thomas) seminar has also been added.
WELCOME incoming students on “Baylor EGSA†Facebook group.
CONSIDER serving as one the Noble and Mysterious Editors of Aeolian Carpings! Our potential “Mystery Editor†for 2010-11 has resigned, so if you are interested in joining the clandestine and prestigious company of Carpings Editors, contact Bethany (bethany_bear@baylor.edu) and she will transmit the relevant occult details to you. The Carping gods will be best pleased if they have at least three editors in their service.
BE SURPRISED by joy (not sin!) this summer. All the best to those resting, taking classes, writing, reading, sitting exams, raising children, tending gardens, and any number of other Good Things.
