The University Shield

As some of you may know, last year an impassioned group of us began a publication at UD called The University Shield. We were largely successful with the two issues we printed and distributed last spring, and so, we have picked up the project once again and are publishing the first issue of this semester tomorrow.

I have not (as of yet) figured out how to post a .pdf file online. If I have a few spare minutes to play around on the computer and figure out that doo-daddy trick, then by all means, it will be up. BUT, for the time being, if you’d like a copy delivered straight to your personal email inbox, then please, shoot me an email at katieprejean741@gmail.com and I’ll be sure to send it your way.

The issue this month is dedicated to the many priests and religious that have helped shape our beloved UD, and so we have 2 quite dense and lengthy articles about the Cistercian’s influence on UD and the Sisters of St. Mary of Namur. The articles will certainly be enjoyable to you (I think) and move your hearts and minds to loving this place even more.

So recap: email me at katieprejean741@gmail.com and I’ll send you a copy of the Shield.

Cheers,

Katie

Lux

Lux is better than you–it is meta.  Lux (light).  Lighthousing in the Arizonian darkness.  It’s a beacon of fresh crunchy local art, culture, and goods.  This beacon is home to a fleet of ipod computers (called macs or ipads or imacs or something) a place of unbridled free thought for the rare hipster-sapien, and the best damn iced-mocha west of the Mississippi!

Diagramming Sentences

22

Since I’ve begun teaching middle school, my intellectual life has taken a dramatic turn “back to the basics”, as they say.  Well, it certainly has been a turn for the better because through such turning back, we can, ultimately, move much farther forward.   Eugene Moutoux is a language professor…. (somewhere) and he has written several books on sentence diagramming–among other things.




So the main reason I’m posting this is because he has an awesome mustache.  AND I thought it time to share my grammatical joys with my friends.    So, just as we all enjoy taking time to re-read fairy tales and poems from childhood, perhaps you’d be interested in checking out Eugene’s amazing diagramming from basic sentences such as: The people should laugh. to the  intricacies of the Gettysburg Address.

He’s from Kentucky and he also diagrams in German.

Diagramming sentences can be fun.
