Dr. Fowler co-authors paper,
lectures at Kuwait university
Dr. Gil Fowler,
Journalism and The Honors College, has co-authored a paper with Dr.
Hesham Mesbah of Kuwait University and Dr. Masoud Abdul Raheem of
Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST) in Kuwait. The paper,
"Media Use and Public Perception: How Kuwaitis View Aspects of
Globalization," appeared in the latest issue of the Journal of Arts
and Human Sciences in Menya University, Egypt. The paper
investigated media use patterns of 414 Kuwaitis and how attitudes
towards globalization and Americanization were formed. While in
Kuwait, Dr. Fowler also lectured at GUST.
Dr. Johnson presents paper at
colloquium
Dr. Warren Johnson, French, presented a paper, "Comic
Voices," at the Nineteenth-Century French Studies Colloquium in
Mobile, Ala. in October. Johnson's paper dealt with how traces of
orality transformed late nineteenth-century French comic short
fiction, introducing a narrative hybridity and moral ambiguity.
Dr. Jones co-authors journal article
on views of schools
Dr. Craig H. Jones,
Psychology and Counseling, co-authored an article published in the
International Electric Journal for Leadership in Education with Dr.
John Slate of Sam Houston State. The article, "Mexican
Parents' and Teachers' Views of Effective Elementary Schools,"
reports the results of a study comparing the perceptions of parents
and teachers in Juarez, Mexico, on what is required for effective
elementary schools.
Athletics will give tribute to
Indian Family
During halftime of the ASU
football game with North Texas Thursday evening, the ASU Athletics
Department
will
conduct a special salute to ASU's long-time mascot, the Indian
Family.
The
salute will pay tribute to an integral part of ASU’s history, as the
Indian Family will make its final appearance at Indian Stadium as
the university’s official mascot. ASU will continue to use the
Indians nickname and Indian Family mascot throughout the 2007-08
year, but will hold a retirement ceremony this spring at a
basketball game. The game will be televised by ESPN Regional.
PRSSA presents Potluck at the
Pavilion
On Tuesday, Nov. 13, at 6

its annual Potluck at the Pavilion. In addition to the potluck,
the PRSSA will hold a food drive to benefit the Women's Crisis
Center. Donations of canned food or nonperishable food items are
welcomed. For details, e-mail ASU's

Archaeologist to discuss
pottery of St. Francis river basin
Dr. Claudine Payne, Arkansas Archeological Survey, will discuss the
Nodena art style of Pre-Columbian eastern Arkansas pottery at a lecture hosted by the Central Mississippi
Valley Archeological Society, Wednesday,
Nov. 14,
7 p.m., in the ASU Museum, Room 180. The eastern Arkansas pottery
deserves the designation Pre-Columbian Art, although the term "Nodena"
has historical precedence in this region. Dr. Payne will explore
this style of art and compare it to other art styles of the era, as
well as consider its artists, audiences, media, techniques, and ways
in which the style reflected and imitated the natural world of
Arkansas between 1200-1600 AD. For details, contact
Dr. Julie Morrow, station
archaeologist, ASU.
