Subject: SIPB Computer Tours


Hi, Yonald!

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, September 1st, from 7pm to 10pm.
We will divide into small groups, and visit various locations.

Would you be interested in doing a demo at your lab and showing off
the CM-5 (if you have access to it)?  Or do you know somebody who
would, who could talk about the CM-5 and the other interesting
hardware over there?  This would involve staying around Wednesday
night, giving a demo to the groups, and answering 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 to get a lot of freshmen.

					Thanks,
