Voices of a People's History

Hey Everybody,

The Berkeley Undergraduate Sociology Association is putting together a performance of influential political speeches that come from Voices of a People's History of the United States (Howard Zinn, anyone?) and need some people to help get things going. When I heard about this thing I immediately thought, "This has Rhetoric written all over it." You can check out the blog for the event through either my page or Aaron's.
The performace is going to be next semester, sometime in April but to make it a really great event we'll need to get working on it soon. So please, consider how helping to organize a big event like this will look when applying to grad/law schools and get back to me before next Friday.

Questions about Rhetoric Classes

Hello Rhetorical Knights,

I was wondering if anyone might speak to two questions I had in preparation for enrollment in Rhetoric classes next semester. First,  I was wondering if taking Rhetoric 103B with only Rhetoric 10 under my belt is a bit of a stretch? Second, can anyone comment on Professor Bhandari's 150 and 162 classes? I am torn between post-liberal political philosophy and American cultures.

Regards, Aaron
