COMMENTS:
Bad News for the Italy Program The Off-Campus Studies Committee has not approved the Italy program. They express sincere regret for the disappointment this news brings you. The main problem they found with the proposal was the fact that ACM did not think likely that a permanent ACM program would be set up following this pilot program. Since this position is at odds with what they wrote me last Fall (or I would not have embarked into this wind-mill fight), I am writing them to find out what changed and why. In other words, I am looking for a better explanation than what has been provided so far for turning down this program.
I would like to thank all of you who have helped me and shown support for this program over the past year. Your interest has been absolutely essential for bringing the proposal as far as it has got. And perhaps farther. I'll keep you posted. Paolo
All Majors I still need questionaires from Ed Blair, Aaron Bostwick, Chris Cooper, Mark Dieterich, Sean Hollands, Chris Hilberg, Keith Johnson, Nicholas Larsen, Jimmy McCullagh, Merlin Meyer-Mitchell, Justin Morgan, Nathan Sandbo, Matt Sniffen, Brad Tiffany, Jeremy Wahl, Alisa Walz-Flannigan, Jared Wahlstrand and Neal Weiner. If you lost yours, call and I'll put another one in campus mail. Susan, x4383, smaakest
Seniors It's a tradition for graduating physics seniors and faculty to take a canoe trip down the Cannon River the Thursday before graduation. Please hold that date (June 6th).
Money Start thinking about turning in your Olin and Goodsell keys--and getting your deposit back! ALL KEYS MUST BE RETURNED BEFORE JUNE 7. Keys will not be accepted for return after that date. Because both Olin and Goodsell will be re-keyed this summer, the keys you have now will no longer be useful.
