Marie Elsie Reser-Gary was an English grad, a runway model, a wife, mother, and rancher. Frankly, it sounds like she lived a pretty good life. Nothing too crazy, but I thought it would be nice to throw in someone who seemed to live well. That鈥檚 the goal, isn鈥檛 it?

The English Department got into some trouble(?) with the city around 1964 when the department sponsored the showing of some foreign films, including one L鈥橝dventura, which seemed to cause quite the stir. That said, Lindquist received several letters appreciating the English Department for sponsoring foreign film and enriching the culture of 麻豆破解版 itself. Otherwise, there was some sort of drama with the formation of a upper elite committee of the English Department self-regulating who was allowed to work in the department. No other major issues or notable events, I鈥檓 afraid.

This is the Listing Page Post Information description for Valerie Clemons, a ficticious person who is tagged for the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. While Clemons' time at WSU was free from controversy, 10 years after her retirement she was accused of racketeering for a string of illicit bingo games. She fled to Norway, which, at the time, did not have an extradition treaty with the United States.

Published in the Gazebo, and was both faculty and writer-in-residence here at the university. Fiction, non-fiction, and poetry writer. Filipino-American writer.

Was chairman of the department. The annual report from 1974-75 is very much focused on statistics, and lots of issues about operating costs and a lack of resources for the department. Castor notes issues in the department: 鈥淕rowing pressure from college and university administrators to increase credit hour production even further 鈥� but without allocating additional resources to the department 鈥� will continue to adversely affect many of our programs. (The graduate program is already feeling that pressure.) As resources continue to go into programs other than literature and linguistics or to be drained from literature programs, more and more of our program will experience problems, such as declining credit hour production, new limitations on course offerings (both number and type), declining morale internal friction among our faculty, and so forth.鈥� This feels relevant now, just under fifty years later, so it is included here.

Founded the creative writing program at WSU, wrote eleven books of poetry, and seems to have otherwise done quite well for himself as a literature-type. The program is very much creative-writing focused during this time. In 1978-79, a composition survey was sent out to all faculty at the university, as well as all students, where 鈪� of the faculty responded, and only one hundred and change of the students did so. The survey dealt with the inconsistencies of writing expectations between classes, so it鈥檚 really just another example of problems remaining the same throughout history. Different people have different writing standards. There was an event in 1978 called 鈥淚s Language Worth Talking About?鈥�, that featured interdisciplinary discussions of the importance of language, which sounds like something that could be useful in our own times to enhance the image of the department on campus by working to become more interdisciplinary. Lots of correspondence addressed to Ahlberg by department head Kastor, but very little response to Kastor from Ahlberg. Several invites to events here that were never returned.

Gladys Taggart was a faculty member for 53 years, and submitted to the Tom-Tom. Not certain it鈥檚 the same Gladys, but if so she was around for a good long while and did quite a bit outside of the literary sphere. WSU has a scholarship fund in her name. Also, her name is on the Plaza of Heroines in front of Ablah, where I now type this.

Geraldine Hammond is another individual who has a scholarship at WSU now. Also, her name is on the Plaza of Heroines in front of Ablah, where I now type this. She was an English Language and Lit. grad, and was a professor of English here at WSU. Big on equity for women, feminist queen. Also found in Special Collections quite a bit.

We also, at one point, had a WSU Writing Contest, which sounds fun and useful for engaging with the department. The summer program was cut during this time, so that鈥檚 a shame. Supposedly at one point, the English Department was able to offer the completion of an MA program through entirely summer classes. As an aside, I have to imagine that submitting reports rife with statistics about the English program to administrators doesn鈥檛 exactly play to the strengths of an English program. I have to wonder if Kastor couldn鈥檛 have done a better job here by consolidating the numbers and really working the word game.

Seems like Mikrokosmos was proposed in 1974.
