I'd like to go to the Summer SIGGRAPH in Las Vegas and go to the tutorials, and all the good stuff. I've heard that I can be a volunteer and work "for" the conference, saving me major dollars. How do I go about this? I'm not currently a member of ACM. Should I join? Thanks much, Dan Wallach dwallach@soda.berkeley.edu

The deadline for application as a student volunteer was April 17. Looks like you'll have to wait until next year.... (which is good for me, you're one less person I'll have to compete with this year! :-) As far as ACM goes I'd suggest finding your local student chapter (if it exists) and check it out. As far as I'm concerned the national stuff isn't too bad, but making local contacts and friendships in a local chapter is much more useful than another article about software engineering or some silly health insurance..... -- |Paul Lindner |lindner@boombox.micro.umn.edu |"You've got to spit |University of |U of Minn.

Paul is *probably* wrong! Contact the student co-ordinator for SIGGRAPH IMMEDIATELY. If you need his name, number, etc call Beth Olson's Office at HQ -- they would most likely be able to help you. (The number to HQ is in the CACM -- pick up a copy at your library) At the Comp. Science Conference one of my members was able to volunteer at the site since so many students had just not shown up. This is why I say probably. Either way drop a note here and let us know.

Applications were reviewed and positions -> appointed by May 1. We received 600 applications for 250 positions. That's pretty much the "final" word on that. >At the Comp.
