Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

Every time we check the Graduate Tournament, it seems the
leaderboards have been rearranged:

http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2012/graduate-tournament.cfm

For a while, the University of Washington seemed to have grown
comfortable at the top; now, Stanford has overtaken them with a
$200 margin.  Will Washington surge forward again to overtake
Stanford?

The University of South Carolina is still leading the US East
region, with University of Wisconsin-Madison hot on their heels,
and Wayne State University climbing fast.  Will the USC Gamecocks
be knocked off their perch?

In Europe, the University of Edinburgh shot to the head of the
region early in the week; today they've been overtaken by the
University of Cambridge, ahead by only $4!  Will Edinburgh
reclaim the lead?  Will Universitat Pompeu Fabra or Universit't
Leipzig jump ahead?

We can't wait to see what happens!  Donate today to fight for
your school's victory-- and remember, your donations can count
towards both the Graduate Tournament and the Battle of the
Fields!

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
