If you plan on attending, please get in touch with us now. We need to
have an accurate head count so we can order food and print up the right
number of proceedings. There is no registration fee but we would prefer
that people don't just show up at the door without notice. So, if you
have not been in touch with us yet, please call (312) 702-8070 and talk
to Andrea. If you are planning on coming, DO THIS NOW.
We still have space to put up out-of-town graduate students on Friday
and Saturday night. But, here again, we need to know before hand who
needs space. There is also a definite limit on how much space we have.
For non-students, we have arranged for housing at the Hyde-Park Hilton.
The number there is (312) 288-5800. They are holding a block of reduced
rate rooms for the conference.
If you have any other questions concerning the conference, call Kris
Hammond at (312) 702-1571 or send mail to kris@gargoyle.uchicago.csnet -
for CSnet mail or kris%gargoyle.uchicago.csnet-relay.arpa - for ARPA
