Subject: tour stuff 


I read through all the stuff from last years tours --
it's all in /afs/sipb/admin/text/tours/1992/tour.*

basically, we need to start getting in touch with people at the media
lab, AI lab, LCS, etc to find people willing to do demos.  There's a
nice form letter (tour.ask) that we probably don't have to change too
much, that we can send out to individual people, once we get names.  I
was thinking also of sending it to the people who actually did demos
last year, altering the wording to say something more like, "hi, you
helped us out with tours last year. would you be willing to do it
again, or who else can you suggest to us."  We also have to pick a
speaker (jis seems popular) and write up a letter inviting him to
speak.

before we can invite people, though, we need to get a date settled.  I
was thinking possibly the Wednesday night of R/0 -- we have to check
on the R/0 Schedule.  (This would be 6 days after the frosh get here,
i think...)  Basically, sorority rush for me take up from friday till
tuesday afternoon.  ie the freshmen get there on thursday, rush runs
friday to tuesday.  So i'm going to be pretty hosed then, and the week
before that.  So maybe i should deal with initially sending out
letters, and you can deal with peoples' last-minute responses and
planning and stuff?  let me know how that sounds.
