Author Talk this Thursday, April 20 at 3:30 p.m.

Please plan on attending the last Author Talk of the academic year on Thursday, April 20 at 3:30 p.m. in the Library. Associate Professor of English Dr. Andre' DeCuir and Associate Professor of Philosophy Dr. Todd Lekan will be speaking about their writing experiences.

Dr. DeCuir will discuss two plays he has written. Vecchio's Last Painting was submitted to a contest for one-acts for teen actors. Heirlooms was written for a contest in which the plays could be no longer than a page and are performed in an airport.

Dr. Lekan is the author of Making Morality : Pragmatist Reconstruction in Ethical Theory, published in 2003. "Drawing on the work of John Dewey, Lekan asserts that moral norms are neither timeless truths nor subjective whims, but habits transmitted through practices," from an unattributed review.

There will be time to ask each author questions and refreshments will be served.

Soviet era items on display in April

Retired professor emeritus Taylor Stults is offering a glimpse into the Cold War era. The Library's display cases are full of many military and civilian items from the former Soviet Union including:
  • a medal commemorating Yuri Gagarin's first manned space flight,
  • communist party registration documents,
  • Russian Life, an English-language magazine meant to give a good spin on communism to Americans, and
  • a Russian Pepsi bottle.
Dr. Stults authored The Course of Russian History (with co-author Melvin Wren) and Fifty Major Documents of the Twentieth Century: 1950-2000. He taught Russian and Soviet Union history courses while at Muskingum from 1962-2001.
