You're Invited to a Community Service Planning Meeting

Hope everyone is well and enjoyed the break!

I wanted to make sure that everybody in KU Ars Rhetorica knows about the community service planning meeting that's currently in the works.  At the last KUAR meeting, we discussed some possible service events.  One event we discussed was hanging out for an afternoon with some kiddos who are on the waiting list for Bigs in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program; another event on the table is an hour or so of conversation with adult English Second Language learners in a program for which KUAR co-chair Rachel Bloom volunteers.

Comparative Rhetoric, or Is My Game Slippin?

Today's question mark is brought to you by comparative rhetoric.

Or, rather, it was brought to me by comparative rhetoric.  And RSQ.  That's not a bad question mark, either.  It's a way of saying, "How did I miss this?"  So I figured I'd ask you smart folks.  Is "comparative rhetoric" something that I should have known about?  I'm feeling a little inadequate as a rhetorician right now...

EVENTS: Next Ars Rhetorica Meeting + Debra Hawhee visit on 28-29 March

From Dr. Tell: "Debbie Hawhee, Professor of Rhet/Comp at Penn State will be on campus March 28 and 29. She will give a talk at 4pm on Tuesday the 29th in the Malott Room of the KS Union. The talk is titled: 'Rhetoric, History, Animality.' Following the talk, there will be an informal reception/happy hour at Dempseys."

Also: Don't forget that the next KUAR meeting will be Thursday 10 Mar @ 4pm in the Walnut Room of the Kansas Union.  Come with ideas about what scholarly, social, and service activities you'd like to see KUAR doing later this semester and the next!
