Tentative Program

[Catherine Rudin/HU/AC/WSC]

OK, here's a first draft of the Siouan and Caddoan Languages Conference
program, just to give you an idea how it's looking.
Comments/suggestions/additions welcome.  So far there are 14 papers, one
"mini-presentation", and two "round tables".  A couple of other people have
indicated they might want to present something but haven't given me a
title; I haven't put them in the list here, but there's room to add them.
(And for anyone else out there who might be thinking of coming ... we could
fit in a few late submissions; just drop me a note.)
    For the round tables what I have in mind is 2 or 3 or 4 short
presentations setting out the issues, segueing into general discussion.
I've put these at the end of each day so as to leave the time for
discussion flexible.  Each one has two "startoff presenters" listed now --
anyone else want to volunteer?
    And while I'm asking for volunteers, I guess we could be formal and
have session chairs.  Anyone want to do that?
   I'll send out a more detailed version with times and room numbers and
such when the time is closer.
