The Federation Rhetoric Committee welcomes proposals for this asynchronous
computer conference that will focus on rhetoric and technology.  The theme
of the conference should be interpreted broadly and inclusively.  Proposals
may range from textual analysis of a single author's text to pedagogical
uses of technology for research and teaching to reviews of particular
software or sources on the Internet. The Federation Proposal Selection
Committee will act quickly on submitted proposals. No fee is required for
making a proposal.  

To retain the exact stylistic features and formatting of each scholar's
work, all proposals (limited to 200-400 words) must be submitted as an
attachment to e-mail to William E. Tanner by May 1, 1998 (f_tanner@twu.edu;
[940] 898-2342 [v/m]; [940] 898-2297 [FAX, kindly identify Tanner since this
number is a departmental FAX]).   The proceedings of the conference will be
published on a CD, to be edited by William E. Tanner and Suzanne Webb, and
are to be ordered directly from Caxton's Modern Arts Press.  

 Presentations in final, publishable form must arrive in Microsoft Word as
an attachment to e-mail by June 1, 1998.  Proposals and presentations in any
other form cannot be considered.
