Randy Roberts may have announced this, but just in

case, here is an item from the forthcoming ADS

newsletter:

   John Baugh, ADS president and professor of education, linguistics and

anthropology at Stanford, will present the ninth annual Peter Tamony Memorial

Lecture on American Language at the University

 of Missouri, Columbia at 3:45 p.m. Thursday, April 21.

   "The Evolution of African Ameri

can English and Its Educational Consequences" will be his topic.

   The talk will be held, as always, in Ellis Library, home of the vast

his long life. The collection will be on display at the reception that

follows the talk.

figured out how to avoid the spaces. Short lines don't
