Here is a short description of an annual conference.  This is it's 20th
year and in the past it has been worth attending.  If anyone desires
additional information such as program detail please contact me.  I haven't
included the whole brochure in the interest of saving space in mailboxes.

>TODAY'S CHALLENGES: TOMORROW'S OPPORTUNITIES

>March 17-19, 1993 >Marriot Pavillion Hotel >One Broadway >St. Louis, MO




>THE 1993 SYMPOSIUM:

>This is the 20th anniversary of the SIGUCCS Computing Services Management
>Symposium. The symposium in St. Louis has been a high point in higher
>education computing services management meetings for many years. It has grown
>from a small group of people from larger institutions to a large symposium
>addressing the needs of service managers from all institutions.

>The theme for this year's symposium is "Today's Challenges: Tomorrow's
>Opportunities." Higher education is in the midst of challenging and exciting
>times. We have been asked to do more with less for a while. Now we in
>computing management are trying to do not only more with less, but the new and
>different with less. Expectations for computing support are changing right
>now. They will change even more in the next five years. Join us as we explore
>where we have been, where we are and where we are going -- the challenges we
>face right now and the opportunities before us.

>The symposium is organized into three focus tracks: Management, Instruction &
>Research and Networking & Technology. Attendees will have the opportunity to
>select sessions from any of the three focus tracks throughout the symposium.
>The two plenary sessions will focus on the world we have supported, the world
>we are supporting and the world we will support in our work of university
>computing.

>Two pre-conference workshops are scheduled in the morning before the symposium
>begins. Choose one or the other for an additional $25 fee. Explore the
>concepts of Managing with Truth and Choice or explore the Internet -- What's
>There and How to Find It. Attendance is limited at these workshops, so
>register early.

>The primary goal of ACM Special Interest Group on University and College
