    o   nb:  our current, fifth-annual 10K'94 Student Competition is
	announced today!  the newly published information package,
	timetable & guidelines, and price-waterhouse b-plan tutorial
	(which you'll require for next term's seminar, as this
	p-w document is used to better understand the 68-page b-plan
	template-and-example handed-out this term in class) will be
	available at the seminar for mit students to pick up, even
	if you're only thinking about participating.  

	much thanks to joost bonsen, '92, sem089 t.a. and chairman of
	this year's 10K'94 for taking on the task of updating the
	competition's information package, doing the editing and
	final re-writes and helping doug ling, sm, '86, co-founder and
	co-director of the mit e-club, and past 10K chair, stuff the
	hundreds of packs we'll start deploying today through dean
	joel moses' office, in 1-206, the sloan masters office, e52-112,
	and at the regular meeting of the e-club, today at 6 in 66-144.
	
	limited numbers of the info package will also be available
	at the visible language workshop (e15-443) in my mail folder,
	and at the late tuesday night post-seminar sessions in 14-0637,
	and on those saturdays and sundays when we meet for optional
	on-line tutorials in 1-115.


finally!  if anyone has seen or heard from GIOVANNA GAMBRELL, we'd like
to know how she's doing.  professor facs (sp?) called during tnx-giving
week to say she had sustained an injury in his _lab for manufacturing_
course, and was temporarily out-of-commission;  she ought to have returned
by now, so giovanna, if you read this, please tell us you're o, and
do please try to make this last class.  thanks!

see you-all tonight then (post-seminar get-together, location tba),

	- richard shyduroff, and for
	  joost bonsen, and best wishes from professor flemings.
