Are you sending a proposal to Division C for a session that you are hoping
CH-SIGers will attend, or did I miss the ball entirely? Are you proposing,
perhaps, that the CH-SIG Officers set up a roundtable for graduate students
& oldtimers? (actualy sounds like a great idea!) I think it's possible to
arrange "fireside chats" as informal get-togethers....

Well this topic is as old (older) than xmca... SIGH.
