Mid America Conference dates.

[Rankin, Robert L]

I'd say to use the dates from Linguist List.  I don't read that list and got my info from Sara Rosen.  She probably was off by one day when she gave me them by email.  Surely it will be Friday, Sat. and Sunday a.m. --  I hope.  If I hear differently, I'll let everyone know.  I'd say to send your abstracts to Mircea.

Hmmm...  This is off by a day from the information that came out on LinguistList last week (which I've pasted in below).  Oct. 26-28 seems more likely than 27-29 (Friday-Sunday is more normal for a conference than Saturday-Monday) so I assume the LgList information is correct.  Abstract submission information is included in the LgList post.  Deadline Aug. 1.  Unless there's going to be a different submission proceedure for the Siouan sessions?  Bob, I think you said you were going to oversee the formation of special Siouan panels or something??? Maybe the papers won't go through the normal MALC abstract review proceedure, whatever that may be?
 
Just my 2 cents - Catherine
