FOLLOW-UP Getting Election will settle college a fresh board issue By ZACK SAMPSEL The Daily Journal start A week after a failed attempt by the Mendocino College board of trustees to remove Area 2 Representative Larry Mental health program MacLeitch during its September meeting, the dust has settled with MacLeitch still helping young people presiding over his Area 2 seat until the November election and the board of fulfill their dreams trustees waiting for the election for a reso- lution of it all. The situation began when a clerical error at the County Elections Office from 2005 surfaced this summer revealing that MacLeitch was actually living in Area 3. The error not only affected MacLeitch, but also the board. According to Mendocino College President Kathy Lehner, MacLeitch’s serv- ing on the board while out of area is a vio- lation of the board’s bylaws, and something the board wanted to handle quickly. “The concern of the fellow board mem- bers is to follow the law,” Lehner said MacLeod Pappidas/The Daily Journal Wednesday. “Our bylaws say that trustees Joe Barnett sits at his desk at the Mendocino County Department of Mental Health Wednesday.

  • A NEW DIRECTION for CHICK LIT by Rachel
    ABSTRACT CONSCIOUSNESS-RAISING: A NEW DIRECTION FOR CHICK LIT by Rachel R. Rode Schaefer Focusing on novels published outside of the popular market, this thesis seeks to draw attention to work being published under the label of chick lit that subverts standard chick lit genre conventions. While much work has been and is being done that concentrates on popular market chick lit, such as Helen Fielding’s Bridget Jones’s Diary (1996) and Candace Bushnell’s Sex and the City (1996), only cursory attention is being given to transnational, minority, and religious chick lit. This thesis considers chick lit within the larger history of women’s writing in order to contextualize the genre. Since chick lit has been connected to both feminism and post-feminism in its origins, consideration of this genre as a feminist genre focuses attention on how chick lit functions as a consciousness-raising genre.

    This reading group guide for Primates of Park Avenue includes an introduction, discussion questions, ideas for enhancing your book club, and a Q&A with Wednesday Martin. The suggested questions are intended to help your reading group find new and interesting angles and topics for your discussion. We hope that these ideas will enrich your conversation and increase your enjoyment of the book. Introduction Wednesday Martin’s new memoir, Primates of Park Avenue, is an inside look at the unexpectedly stressful and anxious lives of Manhattan’s most elite set: Upper East Side mommies. The book follows Wednesday on her journey to join the “it” crew in Manhattan, and no detail—no matter how trivial or painful—is left out. We read about the feelings of exclusion and unhappiness Wednesday experiences as she learns to navigate the sometimes-cruel streets and female “friendships” west of Lexington Avenue. We hear about her epic quest to own an Hermès Birkin bag and about the cutthroat nature of preschool applications on the Upper East Side. Through it all, Wednesday straddles the line between subjective insider desperate to find a place for herself and her son and academically detached outsider using her background in anthropology and primatology to help make sense of her world, one she realizes might seem silly and unsympathetic from the outside. Wednesday is both participant in and observer of the rituals of motherhood in Manhattan’s richest neighborhood. Discussion Questions 1. In her introduction, author Wednesday Martin asks herself “who were they really, these glamorous, stylishly turned out women with sophisticated babies?” (2).
