READINGS FROM XEROX PACKET:

The readings are available at EZ Copy n Print, 4336 University Ave, a few doors north of University Bookstore.
You can purchase the packet whether or not you signed up, as they are prepared to make more as needed.

I am also posting the readings here for the next week. If you don't buy the packet be sure to print these out
and bring them to section, as it is hard to have a discussion without the texts in front of you.
