Hopefully, some will materialize into additional commitments. I don't know if you've responded to those asking to be informed of what they should do, but given the typical potential of bureaucracy to deter creativity and good intentions, I would suggest you make one and all aware that this course is DEFINITELY running in Spring 1997 and not just in a stage of possibility. (Your material still says we have ten months to plan this.) Moreover, interested parties should be reminded that they need to set in motion whatever their institutions require to get the course listed in the spring master schedule so students will know to register for it. At my college the master schedule has already gone to press. An addendum to that already printed usually works only with widespead dissemination. Each site instructor needs to publicize the course, since it is an unknown and might not otherwise gain sufficient enrollment to run. Isn't this organizing stuff fun? :( Vince umoja Only when lions have historians will hunters cease being heroes. African Proverb Without struggle there is no progress.
