A few notes:

Dr. Filer holds usually holds two very informative information sessions early in the semeseter: one on applying to Graduate Schools and one outlining hints and procedures for thesis writing. Riva has suggested we could expand the latter to add additional information and he is willing.

The question is timing. This year we have so many classes that I see the
following options:

1) Weekday evenings AFTER 9:30 (there is a class until 9:20 every
night). I would prefer Tuesdays but could do Thursdays

2) Friday Evenings

3) A weekend day - perhaps a longer period on Saturday or Sunday afternoon
for the thesis writing workshop.

Please email me at klord@hunter.cuny.edu , and I will forward the number of people voting for each option along to Dr. Filer this Wednesday afternoon.

HCSFE will be holding elections on September 29th. We will also be making any final alterations to the budget based on the requests of those in attendance. In order for the election to be valid, we need a quorum (16 people in this case), so please be sure to come to 1537 or 1538 between 2:30 and 5:00 to cast your vote. It's ok to be late or leave early if you have other commitments, but it is very important that you make your needs for the semester known.

The HCSFE website http://www.hunterecon.org has been overhauled... the site look is a bit rusty at the moment, and features will be added, but for now, the video and audio recordings (where professors have permitted) are availabe in the "Course Resources" section. Please remember it takes between 5-10 days from the date of the class until we can post it because we have to copy from tape and sync up the audio... hopefully our turnaround time will be much shorter if our budget request for a digital camcorder is approved.

Happy Chilean Independence Day, Lundi du Jeune, Keiro no Hi, and Pitr-Paksha,
Ken
