Re: Re: Val's story, creating a registry

[Guest guest]

Yes, Val; my messages are meant to be rhetorical - not needing answer

unless something strikes someone. I am now in communication scholarship

and for almost 40 years practiced rhetoric. Not the popular definition

( " that's merely rhetoric " ), but the old one of finding means to express

something vividly in a given circumstance. Speeches.

It's a mostly abandoned discipline, even in the academy as media studies

nudge us out. But there are still applications in business and

institutional deliberation. Graduates are earning as much as CEO's. .

.. but colleges are chasing the buck in a different way. . .

The registry is important. I've been so sick and struggling to survive

that I could not pursue it, but now have an idea about our technology

dept at the university. . .must drop in there after asking my own grad

prof in audience research (whose PhD thesis was in New Media Cx) how to

do it. He's new, and young - and very sharp.

Tuesday,

Dave
