He said he would look at improving cultural programs at East­ ern, which would benefit srudents and residents of the region. "In my past positions, especially at (Fott Lewis College in Durango, Col.), we launched many programs with people in the town," he said. Some of Sax's ideas for programming would include looking at theatrical events, att gallery openings and looking at a speaker series in literarure and philosophy. Sax also suggested having some faculry members speak at local libraries about topics or issues. Currently the vice president for academic affairs and dean of the college at Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio, Sax inter­ viewed for the dean position at Eastern on Thursday and will also interview today. Sax, who has worked at both public and private institutions, is looking to move back to a larger public university. He said there is more open access for srudents at a public uni­ versity. The next dean has to work with resources with the three arcs departments and also the six humanity departments, Sax said. "The primary focus of being here is to give a strong education to students," he said. Srudents should be able to develop strong critical thinking and writing skills from their education, Sax said. Sax said as dean, he would be responsible to resolve conflicts and negotiate differences. Mary Anne Hanner, dean of the College of Sciences and chair of the search committee, said the committee would meet next week to review evaluations from the campus sessions.

  • Warnings, Disclaimers, and Literary Theory
    Reading the Product: Warnings, Disclaimers, and Literary Theory Laura A. Heymann* I. INTRODUCTION Few television commercials for alcohol end with the protagonist slumped unconscious on the couch, falling off a bar stool, or driving a car into a telephone pole. To the contrary, as many of us have experienced, advertising writes a very different narrative: that purchase and consumption of the advertised beverage will make one more attractive, expand one's social circle, and yield unbridled happiness. It is a story that, the advertiser hopes, will inspire consumers to choose its beverage during the next trip to the store; in this vein, the true protagonist of the commercial is the brand. Marketing scholars and, to a lesser extent, trademark scholars have increasingly viewed advertising and branding through the lens of literary theory, recognizing that consumers interpret communications about a product using many of the same tools that they use to interpret other kinds of texts.1 But this lens has not been similarly focused on an important counternarrative: the warning or disclaimer (such as "Caution: This product may contain nuts" on a candy bar or "Not authorized by * Associate Professor of Law, College of William & Mary - Marshall-Wythe School of Law.

  • 14. Products Liability
    14. Products Liability “Happy Fun Ball! … Get one today! Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly, and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to Happy Fun Ball. Caution: Happy Fun Ball may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds. … Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.” – Saturday Night Live, 1991 Introduction We live in a consumer society, where all of us are constantly bombarded with marketing aimed at getting us to buy more stuff. In America’s early days, what we now think of as “products” were rarities. Items used in the household were commonly handmade by a member of that household. People made their own clothing, canned their own fruit, and built their own furniture. Other items were made in one-off fashion by craftspeople – cobblers made shoes, coopers made barrels, blacksmiths made hardware. Mass manufacturing changed all that. In 1893, the first Sears Roebuck & Company catalog was distributed, offering for sale jewelry and watches, and by the next year, saddles, bicycles, baby carriages, firearms, clothing, and many other items. Today, we are dependent in our modern lives on an uncountable multitude of commercial firms to provide us with the items we use minute by minute. And many of these products have the potential to hurt us. When things go wrong, doctrines of products liability determine who can be held liable. Multiple Theories of Recovery for Products Liability There are multiple ways for a plaintiff to sue for damages stemming from a product. Three in particular are important: warranty, negligence, and strict products liability. A plaintiff might sue on all three theories in the same lawsuit.

Church Lady would say this phrase in a sarcastic, mocking voice that indicated that the behavior in question was not special at all. The recurring character was a big hit for the show - possibly because she represented an archetype that many Americans had experienced at some point in their lives. Dana Carvey supposedly based her on older women that he had grown up with in church. One of my favorite episodes was one of the first where the Church Lady was interviewing Jenny Dana Carvey played the Church Lady Baker played by Victoria Jackson. Jenny was a girl from on NBC’s Saturday Night Live in the late 1980’s. the Church Lady’s congregation and had attended snap judgments against other people. Our hope is that worship consecutively for 200 times before she this characteristic doesn’t define us or our church. Yet missed. Rather than applauding the girl’s attendance, at the same time, good judgment is needed to preserve the Church Lady’s response was, “Well, I guess some our safety and the well-being of those we love.
