                           New to Netoric?
                     Go to Netoric's Home Page:
         http://bsuvc.bsu.edu/~00gjsiering/netoric/netoric.html
           You'll find information about the Netoric Project,
           and links to helpsheets for getting connected to 
           and exploring Connections as a guest, as well as
             other information about the MOO Connections.
     
         Once you're connected to Connections and feel oriented, 
                use this command to get to the cafe:
                        walk to Tuesday Cafe

      ->  Netoric's home page also has logs of Netoric events!  <-

     ->  To join Netoric with a permanent Connections character: <-
       Email Tari or Greg (addresses below).  Say that you want a 
       Connections character in order to join the Netoric Project, 
       and give your first and second choices for your character's 
       name, and the email address to which we should register your 
       character and send your new character info.  Netoric's 
       mission is to serve writing teachers and students who are
       studying to be writing teachers, but we also welcome anyone
       who's interested in our events to join the project (or to
       visit as guests when our events interest them).

      Much of the discussion on ACW-L this week has been about the
      Western Governors University project: what are the implications 
      of the project for faculty?  for students?  for curricula?
     
      Before the cafe, take a look at the information site for the
      the project:
      http://www.westgov.org/smart/vu/vu.html 
      The site's image-heavy--if you have to view it from a slow
      connection, you might want to turn images off and then just 
      load the ones you want.  The Powerpoint presentation linked near
      the top of the page is worth looking at for a fast overview of
      the terms the organizers think in (the slides are just .gifs of
      Powerpoint slides, by the way, so if you can look at .gifs you can
      look at the slides).
      For those who want further information, searching for "Western 
      Governors University" with Altavista or Yahoo turns up a 
      manageable number of hits and gets you a variety of news articles 
      and so forth.  
      
      See you at the Cafe!
