Polish Your Writings Skills During Reading Week

Daniel Selsam '09 writes in to tell us that there will be two special Reading Week writing workshops:

On Writing Clearly

Bring your tough sentences.

Host: writing tutor Daniel Selsam
When: Tuesday, December 9th 3:45 pm
Where: PAC 104


On Writing Poorly

Struggling between vagueness and obfuscation? Come to this workshop.

Host: writing tutor Max Krafft
When: Tuesday, December 9th, 4:45 pm
Where: PAC 104

Editor's note: I find this a little goofy - I mean, really - if you're going to go to just one workshop, and your choices are "On Writing Clearly" vs. "On Writing Poorly," well, it seems kind of self-evident. But Calvin seems to have other ideas...

Gag Reflex's Reading Week Show

Mary Lauran Hall '10 sends in some info about the tomorrow night's GR show:

Gag Reflex is once again having a reading week show, which should maybe be called a "reading two days and then two days of exams and then reading weekend then more exams" show. Come on down to the science center lobby at 9:30 on Tuesday night! There will be improvisation, there will be laughing, there will be a battle about who has the most stuff to do. And the most work-laden audience member wins a bottle of SoCo. What more could you ask for?

What: Gag Reflex reading "week" show
Where: Science Center lobby
When: Tuesday night, 9:30 PM
Why: 'Cause we all need a little Southern Comfort
How: Swimmingly
