following:

- Proposed dates for SLRF '98

- Brief description of university and available conference facilities

 SLRF. While this is a student-run conference, there should be at least one

 well as any other distinguishing features of your proposal

- Proposed conference rates

- Social events planned

- Transportation to host university

In addition to this information, please let us know the possibility of sending
a representative to SLRF '97 at Michigan State University in East Lansing,

The proposal should be submitted on behalf of a committee which is already
established. Proposals should not exceed 1000 words in length. Deadline for
submission is July 1, 1997.
