00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:26.620 align:middle line:90%
be reading in Economics 111.

00:00:26.620 --> 00:00:28.390 align:middle line:84%
You'll probably forget
that, just call me

00:00:31.150 --> 00:00:34.810 align:middle line:84%

00:00:51.175 --> 00:00:55.400 align:middle line:90%


00:00:55.400 --> 00:00:57.320 align:middle line:84%
The editors of Window
Rock have asked

00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.440 align:middle line:84%
me to announce that due
to a lack of funding,

00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:04.400 align:middle line:84%
the magazine will not be
available this semester.

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.500 align:middle line:84%
Hopefully, funding
will be available

00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:09.860 align:middle line:84%
so that they can have
a spring publication.

00:01:09.860 --> 00:01:12.080 align:middle line:84%
And they are still
accepting submissions.

00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:14.630 align:middle line:84%
We have a box at
the Poetry Center,

00:01:14.630 --> 00:01:17.240 align:middle line:84%
and they also have a box
in the English department.

00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:20.667 align:middle line:90%

00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:57.880 align:middle line:84%
Of Augustus, Orville Prescott
wrote, "the most brilliant

00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:01.210 align:middle line:84%
historical novel I have
read in many years,

00:02:01.210 --> 00:02:04.660 align:middle line:84%
and absolutely
astonishingly impressive

00:02:04.660 --> 00:02:07.180 align:middle line:90%
technical performance."

00:02:07.180 --> 00:02:09.550 align:middle line:84%
