ENGLISH AND PHILOSOPHY CLUB MEETINGS

This coming Friday, August 31, starting at 6:00pm, the English Club will have its first meeting at Starbucks Eastchase. The purpose of this meeting is to establish leadership organization and the club's direction for the future. The English Club can be whatever we want it to be -- we just have to shape it. The English Club sponsor is Dr. Jeff Melton.

The English Club will be affiliated, fairly closely, with Sigma Tau Delta (the International English Honor Society founded in 1924). Unlike the English Club, Sigma Tau Delta membership is limited to those who meet certain prerequisites. For more information about joining Sigma Tau Delta, speak with the Sigma Tau Delta sponsor, Dr. Michel Aaij or see the Sigma Tau Delta website -- http://www.english.org.

In somewhat unrelated news, the Philosophy Club is also seeking members. Members are expected to enjoy and partake in conversations of a philosophical nature while maintaining a friendly and at least somewhat intellectual debate. Topics are selected by members, and meetings usually are held at local coffeehouses. The coffeehouse chat system has worked well, but we are always open to fresh and even eccentric ideas. Other activities have included movie nights, followed by discussions of relevance and philosophy of the films watched. Our meetings are always relaxed and friendly. Please contact Charles Leigh (contact information listed below) if interested in joining. Dr. David Walker is the Philosophy Club sponsor.

As an English Club and Sigma Tau Delta member, and as Philosophy Club President, Charles Leigh is more than willing to answer questions via email at cleigh@student.aum.edu in relation to any of these fine student organizations under the English and Philosophy Department.

Both meetings should be fun and informative. I look forward to the English Club meeting tomorrow night and the Philosophy Club meeting when it meets.
