| The Start of Something Big - BY
BARBARA CLOUD
Early UNLV faculty recall the pleasures of arriving on campus
at a time when the good news was that there was plenty of free
parking. Of course, the bad news was that a rattlesnake could be
waiting under your desk. The times and the nature of the anecdotes
might have changed over the course of four decades, but the fond
recollections of UNLV faculty haven't faded. |
| Oh, The Things We Did - BY
LAURIE FRUTH
Some of them may have been wacky. Some may have been
short-lived. Others might have actually changed the course of the
university's destiny. But the UNLV events and activities that
have come to be known as "our traditions" are uniquely our own,
reflecting both their times and the character of the institution.
And, for alumni, remembering them is, well, a hoot. |
| Hangin' at the General Store ... - BY DIANE RUSSELL
For 11 years, linguist Guy Bailey has been quietly recording
and listening to the dialect of the residents of a small farming
town in Texas in search of the origins of African-American
Vernacular English. His findings may shed some light on a
controversy that could affect how millions of children learn
language skills in our schools. |
