This is the equivalent of AIA dissolving the Architecture group. Absolute affront to thousands of scholars, living and dead, who built the disciplines of College Writing, Composition, Writing Studies, Rhetoric, Basic Writing.NCTE has disbanded CCCC because of its “culture.” @mikenietzel.bsky.social

This is the first of four screenshots of a letter sent to CCCC members by the National Council of Teachers of English about its board vote to disband the largest professional organization of Colleges Writing teachers in the U.S.

Second flute from the left, 1976.

The Roton Middle School Band directed by Arthur Sine, marches in 1976 in Rowayton, Connecticut. The band, dressed in white jeans and white polo shirts, is about 40 young people. Flutes and piccolos are the first row, seven across, as they march down a black/frat New England street with tall pines, deciduous tree and New England cottage homes and mailboxes in the background.

Warren Byrom has his band and special guests up on stage, having us all hum-drone in D to get it all going. Reva on vox and Scoot W on bass and maybe it’s poet who is wife of Scott on other vox if I recognize right. Oh now TREE (of Small Batch and the Tyler Childers Railbird set) up on there.

How much do YOU have to pay to park at work, per semester?

Receipt shows $504 paid by payroll deduction to park at the non-luxury (but still kinda close w in 1.5 mile) core spaces for one semester of work. Tricky fact: if you had LESS status you might only be able to park in the remote lots (1.5 mile+ but free shuttle service) but you will still pay the SAME $504 for the space, to keep it fair for everyone.

Squirrel Bait's back and Drag City's got 'em. Both Squirrel Bait EP and Skag Heaven LP re-issued on vinyl by Drag City Records, long the recording home of the mighty ex-Bait David Grubbs. www.dragcity.com for orders.

A jpeg of a full broadsheet page of the "Kentucky Kernel" student newspaper at the University of Kentucky from 1984. It's the Diversions page (arts) and features as its only story a review of the Squirrel Bait EP released on Homestead Records that year. The cover of the EP, featuring a photograph of a bespectacled high school boy in a t-shirt playing a Sony Walkman like a harmonica in what appears to be a high school hallway or a practice space, is reproduced. Headline: Squirrel Bait: Hardcore Louisville band hammers out gritty debut LP (sic). By Kakie Urch, Staff Critic. The rest of the page is 12 paid advertisements.

A jpeg of a broadsheet newspaper page from the Kentucky Kernel student newspaper at the University of Kentucky. The strip story on the Diversions (Arts) page is a review of Squirrel Bait's sophomore release: "Skag Heaven." Headline: Squirrel Bait's latest album incorporates raw, dark integrity. The album cover showing a stylized handdrawn fish on a full bleed white ground is pictured. The review is in the form of a dialog between Kakie Urch and Rob Olson, two Kernel staff critics. The rest of the page is dedicated to 9 paid advertisements and the masthead, which lists the (soon to be famous) "Lost Mountain" author Erik Reece as Arts Editor and the well-known UK spokesman Jay Blanton as News Editor.
