Practical arrangements:
The talks will be located at the Union.
Getting to Manhattan: The nearest major airport is Kansas City. If
you fly USAir, it is possible to extend your ticket with a round-trip
connection between Kansas City and Manhattan for $30 (you are advised
to get your boarding pass on the first check-in). Otherwise, the
connection costs around $100. Two companies (Travellers Express and
RoadRunner) offer minibus shuttle service between Kansas City
International airport (gate 51 + pickup at all the terminals) and any
place in Manhattan for around $30 each way ($50 for a round trip).
Lodging: There are several hotels to serve you. Ramada Inn
(913-539-7531) (across the street from the university), Holiday Inn
(913-539-5311), Days Inn (913-539-5391), and the Best Western
(913-776-4711).
There is no registration fee and there will be no proceedings. If you
