Subject:  1996 World Bank Summer Employment Program (SEP)

    The ACT Washington Office would like to call your attention to a
    premier summer programs for graduate students at the Washington,
    DC, headquarters of the World Bank.

    The SEP is open to students who possess an undergraduate degree and
    are enrolled in a graduate programs. Generally, successful
    candidates will have completed their first year of graduate studies
    or are already into their Ph.D. studies. The SEP is open to
    graduate students who are nationals of the Bank's member countries.
    SEP participants can start work as early as May and generally must
    complete their duties by September 30. A commitment of a minimum of
    four weeks is expected. ALL APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY FEBRUARY 29,
    1996.

    The Bank pays a monthly salary and will provide a travel
    allowance. For 1996, the SEP is seeking candidates in the
    following fields: economics, finance, human resource development
    (public health, education, nutrition, population) social sciences
    (anthropology and sociology), environment, private sector
    development, statistics, as well as related fields. Fluency in
    English is required, and knowledge of another World Bank Group
    language (French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, Chinese)
    is useful. Requests for an application can be made electronically
    by sending a request to <sprogram at worldbank.org> or by sending a
    snail request to Summer Employment Program, The World Bank, 1818 H
    Street, NW, Washington, DC 20433 USA. Since the Bank cannot
    transmit the application electronically, include a snail address.

    The Bank managers will select approximately 200 SEP participants
    from several thousand expected applicants. The Bank will contact
    all successful applicants by June 1996 and requests that
    applicants not contact the small SEP staff for status reports.

    Please understand that this is a World Bank, not an ACT, program.
    ACT's interest is in disseminating information about an
    outstanding opportunity. If anyone is unsuccessful in getting the
    application material in a timely manner from the Bank, we will be
    happy to forward your request and attempt to facilitate delivery
    of the application material to prospective applicants.

    ACT would also invite all successful candidates to stop by its
    offices at One Dupont for a visit during your stay in Washington.

Subject:  student discount on NLLT

	MIT Working Papers in Linguistics (MITWPL) is pleased to
announce that it will once again be able to offer students a hefty
discount on subscriptions to _Natural Language and Linguistic Theory_.
By arrangement with Kluwer Publishers, students can subscribe to NLLT
for a mere $44, a savings of over $20!

	According to the arrangement with Kluwer, students may receive the
discounted rate of $44 per volume by ordering NLLT through MITWPL.  Students
must declare that the subscription is for their own private use, that it will
not replace any existing institutional subscription, and that it will not be
put at the disposal of any library.

	Please make cheques or money orders payable to MITWPL, not to
Kluwer or NLLT (in US funds, drawn on a US bank).  Enquiries should
also be addressed to MITWPL (mitwpl at mit.edu or the mailing address
below).  Because the orders must go through MITWPL, delivery may be
slower than normal.  Please include the following information with
your order:

Name
Mailing address
E-mail address
Expected date of graduation
Proof of student status (eg, photocopy of student ID)
Signature on the following disclaimer:
	I understand that this order is only for my own private use

Mail to:
	MITWPL
	20D-219
	MIT
	Cambridge, MA 02139
	USA
