 As of today there are nine people signed up for the AI Qual.

 It looks like Terry Winograd will be the AI Qual chairman.  He is leaning toward
 giving individual two-hour orals to everyone.  Each oral would be given by
 three people: one of the professors (Winograd, Green, Feigenbaum, and perhaps
 Baskett), a research associate (e.g., Binford, Buchanan, Luckham, etc.), and
 an outsider (e.g., Bobrow, Raphael, Nilsson, etc.).  Winograd isn't too hot
 on students being on orals committees.  You may feel otherwise.  In any case,
 I told him that you were the student appointed to the AI Qual Committee, so you
 should go talk to him about it.  There is no guarantee the thing will be an
 oral at this point; one of the things you could help on is check with the
 Department office at Polya and find out who has signed up for the Qual and see
 how they feel about a two-hour oral versus, say, an eight-hour written exam.
 Even if Winograd decides on an oral (actually it should be the AI faculty
 plus you that decides), he may want help organizing the reading list, oral
 committees, exam times, etc.  Good luck and let me know what's happening.
