minute blocks, to allow for a 5 minute break
between talks. Please adhere to the 20 minute limit for contributed talks
in order to keep the schedule on track.
TRANSPARENCIES
We encourage speakers
to prepare transparencies for their talks, since the blackboard
is hard to read from the back of the room.
Two overhead projectors will be available.
A limited number of transparencies and pens will be
available at the registration desk
for those who have not prepared transparencies in advance.
BANQUET
The conference banquet will be Friday, May 18, at 6:30 pm,
in Room 407 of the
Levis Faculty Center, located on Illinois Street,
about a third of a mile east of Altgeld Hall.
Banquet tickets had to be reserved in advance,
but a few extra tickets may become available
due to cancellations.
The banquet will offer a choice of two meat entrees (steak and turkey),
and a vegetarian (Vegan) entree (eggplant).
The vegetarian entree had to be prereserved.
The two meat entrees have been ordered in equal numbers.
Banquet tickets will be given out at registration; the tickets will be
color coded according to the entree choice.
The tickets will be collected by the wait staff, so
be sure not to lose your tickets.
MEALS
The campus area houses many restaurants and coffee shops, mostly
of the fast food variety. The registration packet will include a
list of restaurants in the campus area, and a map.

AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION
For participants arriving Thursday at the Champaign airport
who have notified us of their travel schedule, we will provide transportation
to the Hendrick House dormitory, the Hampton Inn, or the
Illini Union. In case we miss your arrival, or if you arrive on Friday,
there is a
door-to-door shuttle service which has a desk at the airport near the
baggage claim area. Those staying at the Hampton Inn can use the
free hotel shuttle service provided by the hotel; call the hotel from the
airport to request the shuttle.
Transportation back to the airport on Sunday will be arranged during the
conference.
DRIVING DIRECTIONS AND PARKING
From I-74, take the Lincoln Avenue exit in Urbana and proceed south
on Lincoln Avenue for about 1 1/2 miles to the traffic light on Green Street,
then turn right.
Hendrick House is the highrise building located immediately to your right
at the northwest corner of Lincoln Avenue and Green Street.
Altgeld Hall and the Illini Union are located about a half mile further
down Green Street, at the southeast corner of Green and Wright Streets.
Parking in the campus area is very limited; if you need to park on campus,
we suggest you use
the University parking garage at John and 6th Streets, located one block
west of Altgeld Hall; the top floor of
the garage has metered spaces for visitors. The meters are in effect
on Friday; parking is free on Saturday
at the University garage and on other University lots; refer to the
campus parking map
for location of parking lots.
An alternative to the parking garage is the attended municipal
parking lot at the northwest corner of 6th and Wright Streets.
Note, however, that municipal parking is not free on Saturday.
The Hampton Inn offers free parking for its guests.
The parking lot at Hendrick House is closed for renovation, but
guests at Hendrick House can park for $2.50 per day
at Unversity Lot D9, located
at the southwest corner of the intersection of
Green and Lincoln, directly across from Hendrick House;
this map shows the
exact location.
Permits can be purchased at the Hendrick House reception desk.
