Subject: SIPB Computer Tours


Hi Hal,

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.

During last year's tours, you helped us out by arranging for the tour
to stop at the 6.001 lab to see some demos and admire the hardware.
Would you be interested in helping us again this year by giving a
demo, or by reccomending someone else who could?  It would involve
being available to stay around Wednesday night, give a demo to the
tour groups, and answer questions.  A lot of the freshmen on the tours
will probably be planning on taking 6.001 at some point, so i think
a tour stop in the Scheme Lab would be interesting for them.

If you'll be helping us out, 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
