Talks of a more technical nature are denoted with an '*' by the title.
Most talks are 45 minutes in length. All are free and open to the public.
The Gamow Tower Lounge is located on the 11th Floor of the Gamow (F) Tower
of Duane Physics. It can be accessed from a stairwell on the 10th floor.
Please call SPS at 492-8234 or send email to sps@tramp if you have further
questions!
SIGNUP SHEETS for the Bogus Papers Colloquium are posted on the SPS
office (Duane F-211) door. If you plan to compete, please sign up
ASAP. We need to know how many contestants to expect.
The BOGUS PAPERS COLLOQUIUM is open to everyone. Bogus Papers should
emphasize *HUMOR* and not just be "bad science." The winner of last
year's competetion did a paper on 'Magnetic Monopolo'. Thw winner
of the 1990 competetion dealt with 'The McDonald's Constant'. Please
note that the Bogus Papers Colloquim is an oral presentation of
your ideas.
There is also a sign-up sheet on the door for the talks. We would
appreciate any help we can get in announcing the lectures and getting
the equipment to the rooms.
