Editor's Message

Thanks to those who have sent items for the News and Notes Section, but we can always use more. Send your items to me using the form on the next page.

As Dom indicated in the President's message, the ConneXion will be reduced to three issues in subsequent years. These issues will be Fall, Winter and Summer.

The following list of dates gives deadlines for the receipt of items for the indicated issues.

Fall Issue - Sep 15,1997

Winter Issue - Jan 15, 1998

Summer Issue - May 15, 1998

The Winter issue will contain the application form for the Allerton Conference. You will have to look for it slightly earlier than usual.

Check the News and Notes section for interesting information about your IMACC colleagues. Be sure to read the letter from Jim Brunner in response to his receiving the Distinguished Service Award. Also, please read the report from the membership committee. Sandra Cox, membership chair, needs your help.

In the fall issue we will begin a series highlighting the mathematics departments of the two-year colleges in Illinois. Everyone's college will eventually be featured and we will probably do three or four departments per issue.
