Hi everybody--
I want to share Pedro's concern and suggestion regarding use of SIG
money (with his permission). Personally, I agree with Pedro that we
should not spend all SIG money on food because we may want to invite
people from abroad in future. So may be light snack can be sufficient.
What do you think?
On less serious note. When I was a grad student at University of Utah,
with a group of other hungry students we learned to crush conference
parties (even if we were not invited). We made an important scientific
observation: there is a negative correlation between amount and quality
of food on these parties and fun. Boring parties (I do not want to
mention examples :-) had excellent food and vice versa. Jim Wertsch's
Washington University party is always a pleasant exception from the
observed pattern.
So if we want to support the observed law, we should not have a lot of
good food :-)
What do you think?
Eugene
PS Does anybody know what a range of costs for food at AERA is?

I think the suggestion is good but it took a lot of effort to save up
this
amount and for one, I would not want to see it all spent by one
administration or in 1 year. I think we need to have a reserve, add some
to
it every year when possible, and use it to co-sponsor and bring in
international scholars, speakers or produce some artifacts.
But that's just one voice and I 'm not opposed to a party and
community
building at all. My experience with free rides at aera remains
uninspiring.....perhaps a middle ground ..where it is tied to a
membership
drive, like have guests sign up...That would give us more sessions
next
year

Dear Baji and everybody--
Thanks for brining the issue and making a wonderful suggestion. The SIG
has about $2000 that we can spend on whatever we (i.e., SIG) want.
Should we spend it on having food at the business meeting? Any other
ideas requiring the SIG money?
What do you think?
Eugene
PS I personally, as a SIG member, support Baji's idea to have food for
our SIG business meeting in New Orleans because I believe that rules
make institutions, while food makes communities :-)
