Hello again, MAC Members, I am re-sending the message below which announces MAC's first out-of-convention activity. It occurred to me that some of your mail boxes would probably read the earlier message as SPAM because my user name was not configured correctly. So here's the announcement again. ---Lillie Fears MAC To Co-sponsor Katrina Panel at LSU Next Month I am pleased to announce that MAC will co-sponsor the teaching panel, ³Teaching and Learning through Katrina Lenses,² Friday, October 27, 2006, with the Southwest Education Council for Journalism and Mass Communication during its 29th Annual Symposium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
