Papers by graduate students are especially solicited and may be

   Only one abstract as single author and a second as co-author

will be accepted from any individual.



   Abstracts must be no longer than one page ( c. 250 words)

and should summarize the main points of the paper and explain

relevant aspects of the data, methodology, and argumentation

employed; abstracts of accepted papers will be published exactly

as received in a booklet for distribution at the meeting. At the

beginning of your abstract place the paper title, and at the end

of the abstract (or on a separate page) repeat the title along

with your name, affiliation, mailing address, telephone number,
