Subject: SIPB Computer tours


Hi Randy,

I'm co-coordinating this year's SIPB computer tour.  This
is a computer tour aimed at freshmen and incoming graduate students
to show them interesting computer resources and labs around campus.
We've done this for many years, and the freshmen seem to enjoy seeing
the neat hardware around campus.  The different research groups get an
opportunity to show off their stuff to potential UROPs.

This year's tour will be on Wednesday evening, September 1st, from 7pm
to 10pm.  The tour will be divided into small groups that will visit
various locations.

  For last year's tours, you helped us by getting Fred Martin to do a
demo of the Lego lab for us.  Would you be interested in giving a demo
for us this year?  If not, should we talk to Fred again, or is there
anyone else who might be interested in doing a demo? It would involve
being available to stay around Wednesday night, give a demo to the
tour groups, and answer questions.

If so, what's an ideal group size for your area?  How long is the
ideal demo?  The final arrangements will depend on how many stops we
have on the tour, and how many people show up for the tour.  Wednesday
is after most of Rush is over, so we're hoping lots of freshmen will
show up.

				Thanks,
				Abbe Cohen
