The time has come to decide on a weekly meeting time for this year's 
student seminar.  Stephen, who scheduled speakers last year, would like 
to spend more time on his Master's (not unreasonable considering the
January 30 deadline).  I am willing to do the scheduling, but I have the 
same deadline. Anyone who is past the deadline and willing to do the job
is more than welcome to do so.

Rather than trying to find a time to call a meeting to discuss when to have
meetings, I will instead ask each of you to give me a list of times during
the week when you have other things scheduled (and hence will be unable to 
attend a seminar meeting), and also a list of your first, second, and third
choices of times to meet. If you don't enform me of your conflicts, I'll 
assume that you are not interested in attending our meetings or that all times 
are equally suitable for you.  I'll choose the meeting time that adversely 
affects the smallest number of people.  Please don't wait until after I've 
chosen a time to tell me that you can't make it; by then it will be too late.
Send me your preferences by Friday, September 11; check postings on Tuesday, 
September 14 for the meeting time that week.  We might use the first meeting 
as an opportunity to introduce ourselves to and get to know the new theory 
students.

			Hoping to hear from you soon,
