Siouan & Caddoan Languages Conference update

[Catherine Rudin/HU/AC/WSC]

Just a quick update on the conference, while I'm on spring break and have
time to think!

I assume you've already got your calendars marked!
**Conference Dates:  June 11-13  (we'll probably have a little get-together
on the 10th, so do come early!)
**Title due date:  May 1
An abstract along with your title would be great.

Below is a little more detail on practical matters like housing and how to
get to Wayne.  This should be up on the SSILA website soon (Thanks,
Ardis!).   Please feel free to post this information (and/or general call
for papers and pointer to the website) to other lists, newsletters, etc.
Has anyone seen an announcement on the Linguist List?  I sent one in a
while back, but never saw it  -- may have deleted it by mistake among the
daily flood of spam???

Best, Catherine

24th Annual Siouan and Caddoan Languages Conference

LOCATION:
Wayne State College, Wayne, NE.

Wayne is located in the Northeast corner of Nebraska, 40 miles west of
Sioux City Iowa and about 100 miles north of both Omaha and Lincoln, at the
intersection of highways 35 and 15.   There is no public transportation to
Wayne, so the easiest way to get here is by car.   Nearest airports:  Sioux
City or Omaha.   If you are flying in, let us know your flight information
and we'll try to organize airport pickups or rental-car sharing.

Wayne State College is located at the north end of town.  Take Main St.
(=highway 35) north through town; the campus is between 10th and 12th St,
on the east side of Main St.  Conference sessions will be in the Student
Center.   It's a small town and a small campus -- just ask anyone for
directions.

LODGING:
Two blocks of rooms have been reserved:

(1) Super 8 Motel (402-375-4898)
