R.I.D.D.E.R.S. take HSC by storm BY ANGELA 8EAUIIIN STAFF WRITER Jill Dorsey, a nine year En- glish and speech instructor at the Huron Shores Campus, describes her newly founded club, R.I.D.D.E.R.S. as "a stimulat- ing club which provides a sounding board for students' lit- erary works." The group meets every Monday at noon in the Learning Center at Wurtsmith. Presently, four students attend the meet- ings, with high hopes of attracting new members. At each 1 1/2 - 2 hour meeting, writers critique each other's poetry in the areas of imagery, use of literary ele- ments, and abstract and/or concrete detail. They also work on short stories, emphasizing dialogue, characterization, and other areas. Dorsey created the group so "students could write for both their own and others' interest~.• Dorsey has taught three se- mesters of creative writing and is a published poet. She hopes to prepare her club members for writers' conferences, contests, and various literary opportuni- ties. Another goal for the group is to publish mini anthologies for other students' reading pleasure. Is it possible fur students in Alpena to snatch her idea of forming such a useful club? Dorsey stated, "It would be great to furthur expand the group else- where." She even suggested Priscilla Homola, English in- structor, as a likely candidate to coordinate such an effort. Other events for the R.f.D.D.E.R.S. club included two literary nights at Wurtsmith February 10 and 15. These oc- casions featured a poetry reading and excerpts from a novel by two writers who teach at Hale High School.
