boosting enrollments for fall '96

[Genevra Gerhart]

Yeay, list!
Rah, rah, rah, list!

This is the topic that really deserves discussion.  It's a realization
and recognition of the fact that (a) without students, we will
disappear; and (b) there's a willingness to do something about it.  The
AATSEEL web page could be used for preserving specific suggestions on
getting students, and then keeping them, at least for a while.

Furthermore, I would like to promote the notion that one learns Russian
not to grow up to be a big hairy critical linguist, but perhaps a
geographer more comfortably mapping southern Siberia; or a
business"person" arranging, with somewhat greater ease,
telecommunications to Archangel; or perhaps a doctor who can more
effectively suggest treatments for survivors--of all sorts.  Russian
should be like Coke -- it goes better with everything.  Anybody checked
into Coke stock lately?
