WEAK SPECIES: Former English 40 Student's New Film

Daniel Faltz, one of my former English 40 (1C) students, has been quite successful as a Hass scholar at Berkeley and as a filmmaker at USC. In fact his transfer and grad work has in many ways been a continuation of what he began in 40. He's looking for more support in order to complete his latest project, WEAK SPECIES.

Dear Colleagues,

Please come to a fundraiser party for the newly relaunched literary magazine (Forum) and class. The party will be held Saturday, September 13 from 5 to 9 p.m. at Louise Nayer's house.
1165 Bosworth Street The cross street is Congo.
It's near BART and the 44 bus line
Phone # 415 587-4475

You don't have to bring any beverages or a dish -- food and drink will be provided. There will also be an open mike in Louise's garden for anyone who would like to read for about five minutes, and you will have a chance to meet some of the students behind the magazine, and hear them read their work as well.

The current estimate for printing the magazine is about one dollar per copy, so any donation helps. We have also partnered with the Graphic Design department, which is doing the layout of the magazine as a class project, and we are working with the Dean's office to target alumni for funding as well.

See you then!
Louise Nayer and Jen Sullivan Brych
