(There will be an 800 number for reservations, but it's too early to start
using it.)  This is a first-class, luxury hotel about a mile south of the
downtown area, but with easy access via free hourly shuttle bus and via
public transportation to downtown and MLA venues.

(including indoor track and weight machines) at discounted rate of $15 for
a 3-day pass.

TRAVEL:  As in years past, we anticipate contracting with American Airlines
for special, discounted conference rates.  More will be posted about this
later in the spring or in early summer.  Watch your AATSEEL publications.
