I'm expect to start acting on parts of it Tuesday (Tomorrow/Today) afternoon. Over the weekend I got some mail from mlc, reminding me that in the past we have tried to work around the date by which undergrads need to commit to summer housing. This year that is 4/26, we should be able to do this by pushing the schedule up by a week. this will give us a very agressive schedule for 1st round acceptances, but I think we can manage it. Most of the time is coming out of the recruitment/application phase, and a little out of the interview phase. We can also hire UROP's after this date, if necessary.

So if you're going to object, please do so quickly. :-) Jonathon --------------------------------------------- From: Jonathon Weiss To: dapps-urop-req@MIT.EDU, dcns-dev@MIT.EDU, (formerly known as dcns-syssupport) Cc: moties@MIT.EDU, tytso@MIT.EDU Subject: Jonathon Weiss: UROP hiring schedule Date: Fri, 29 Mar 1996 20:11:07 EST Let's try this again with a less broken to line, sorry about the duplicates. OK folks here's the deal. If we want UROP's for the summer we need to hire them. This should not be a revelation, but given the rate at which summer is approaching, we need to get our act together. Below is a proposed schedule for UROP hiring, barring any strong objections, I'm going to try to make sure it actually gets implemented. For those interested we are starting a week or two after we did two an d three years ago, which puts us two to three weeks ahead of where we were last year. Note: If you know of any projects please let me and moties know ASAP (read *right now* (We want to be able to put up a list of project areas on the application web page, and we want to put that up Tuesday 4/2.)) Note: I plan on advertising the contact list 'athena-urop-req' assuming no one objects. I think it is a lot more clear than dapps-urop-req. The former is currently a pointer to the latter. Note: I previous years, we have done two rounds of applications. I could not find anyone who knew why we did this, so I'm tentatively only scheduling one. The time we gain from this is being used to take a little pressure off given that we are starting a week or two late.
