In the past, we've given a short talk or demo about Athena on our
computer tours.  Would you be interested in helping this year?
I apologize for the short notice.  I had sent mail to carla@mit.edu,
but only recently discovered that she was not currently available.
If you aren't able to help, can you put me in touch with someone
who might be?  Thanks.

The tour is aimed at new MIT students, to give them an inside look at
the interesting uses of computers in various labs and groups around
campus. It's a good opportunity both for students to learn about what
sort of research is going on around campus, as well as for research
groups to attract potential UROPs.

The date we've scheduled for this year's tour is Thursday, September 4th,
which is during the first week of classes. The tours run from about 7
pm to 10 pm.  Typically, we get enough people that we need to split
the tour into about three groups, so there would be three demos over
that time period. The demos are typically 10-15 minutes
long. Afterward, we usually have food and a guest speaker, which you
are invited to join us for, if you wish.

I have 6-120 reserved that evening for the guest speaker.  Last year we
used that same room for the Athena demo.  We've also used the
e40 visitors center or the electronic classrooms when they were available.

Let me know if you will be able to help.

Thanks,
