Tom,

As requested, here are some thoughts on the CS 500 process.

Once selection is made of the speakers for the quarter the following
steps should be taken:

1/ A list should be sent to Linda Zimmerman in TV for distribution to
   the TV students (including title and abstract for each).

2/ On Friday morning a memo should be given to Tina Contreras indicating
   speaker/title/abstract for the second week following (for example,
   on Feb. 14 she should have the speaker, etc. for the talk on Feb. 25)
   so that she can notify Campus Report and Stanford Daily. Based on this
   same memo she can add the talk to her colloquium message sent out weekly.

3/ Any handouts for the class should also be sent to Linda Zimmerman in TV
   for distribution to the TV students.

4/ For additional advertising, I sent out an electronic message to COLLOQ
   two weeks prior to the talk and one day prior to the talk with speaker/
   title/abstract.

5/ At 3:50 in the Lounge at MJH there is "cookie time" which is attended
   by the speaker -- for mingling with the students. This is arranged by
   the students.

6/ Notify Ben in TV of any equipment needs the speaker may have at least
   two days prior to the talk.

7/ TV has a "guideline" for guest speakers which should be sent to the
   speakers. (I'll put one in your mail slot.)

You might also want to check with Ernst Mayr for some input on this.
And if I think of anything else, I'll let you know.

-Anne

Subject: colloquia

Tom, I heard that you will be coordinating the Department Colloquia for
the Spring.  I would like to recommend a speaker, Umesh Vazirani, for
giving a talk in the series, preferably early next quarter.  The talk
is about statistical sampling and computer science.  I can ask him to
give you a title and abstract, if you can accommodate him in your schedule.
Thanks.

Subject: CS500 spring quarter


Tom, Dr. Byron Davies of Texas Instruments is a CIS Resident
Visitor; he has done a lot of research with the KSL.
I asked him if he would like to present a seminar
spring quarter and he said he would be happy to do so.

His subject is "Carel: A Visible Distributed Lisp"

Do you have an open date for spring quarter?

Carolyn

@greeting(Dear Mr. Blinn:)

@begin(body)

The intent of the Colloquium series is to showcase technical 
lectures by distinguished speakers  for a high-level technical audience
of interested non-specialists. Speakers bring to the series their
own valuable scientific contributions: critical surveys of technical areas; 
new results and emerging concepts; intellectual issues for the future.
The goal is to communicate the technical issues and problems,
the scientific excitement, and the environment of computer science.

The Colloquium of the Stanford Computer Science Department is held
at 4:15 pm, Tuesday during sessions, holidays excepted. 
Students arrange a meeting at 3:50 pm for the speaker to mingle with students;
cookies and refreshments are provided.

The local audience includes graduate students from first year to
advanced, faculty, and research staff from nearby research institutes
and companies.  The Colloquium is televised to local industry where it
reaches an audience involved with Stanford educational programs.



A set of guidelines for speakers for tv presentation is included.
Title and abstract are required two weeks in advance for distribution.
The tv staff need two days notice in advance for equipment needs.

We request speakers to sign a release to permit coverage of
the colloquium by television over the tv network to companies
in the immediate area, and to other divisions of these companies 
by videotape outside the Bay Area. 





@end(body)
Sincerely,





Thomas O. Binford
