Unfortunately the ASCII symbol for Pounds Sterling does not print
out in the same way on all systems and occasionally appears as
the number '3'. This has led to confusion over the registration
fee for the EPG / ELG conference in June 1997.
The full registration fee is 80 (eighty) pounds sterling and
there is a daily rate of 30 (thirty) pounds sterling.
Please respond to the previous message if intrested in attending.

TRAVEL TIPS
If you are flying to the conference, be sure to make flight
arrangements to Orange County Airport (also known as John Wayne
Airport). As mentioned above, the Atrium Hotel provides a courtesy
shuttle between Orange County Airport and the hotel. Call them from
the airport and they will come and pick you up within minutes.
If you are driving, use the 405 freeway and once you reach Irvine,
exit on University Drive (this exit has University Drive going West
and Jeffrey Road going East; go West on University). Follow University
until you reach Campus Drive. If you are going to the Atrium Hotel,
turn right on Campus and follow the directions under (a). If you are
going to UCI, turn left on Campus (see directions under (b)). (a)
Having turned right on Campus to go to the Atrium Hotel, keep going on
Campus until you reach MacArthur Boulevard. Turn right on MacArthur;
the Atrium Hotel will be a short distance on the right-hand side (if
you wish to see the Pacific Ocean, turn left on MacArthur instead of
right and keep going until you reach PCH [Pacific Coast Highway],
which parallels the coast. Go left to head South toward Laguna Beach,
San Diego, and Mexico; go right to head North toward Newport Beach,
Los Angeles, and Canada). (b) Back at the corner of University Drive
and Campus Drive (you are on University Drive coming from the 405): To
go to UCI, turn left on Campus, right on Bridge Road, and left on
Pereira Drive. The best place to park is the parking structure on your
left as you turn on Pereira Drive. Parking is $4.00 a day. Parking
permits can be purchased at the entrance to the parking structure. The
conference is scheduled to take place in the UCI Student Center across
the street from the parking structure. The Linguistics Department is
located further down on the right side of Pereira Drive, across the
street from parking lot #1, in a brand-new complex called the Social
Science Plaza. The Departmental Office is on the 5th floor of Building
B of that complex.
