Larkin" To: Transnational Studies Group Subject: Re: Room for Lisa Lowe's Talk In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Hey there, I peeked into Comm 120 today and I thought it looked fine. Admittedly, it is not the loveliest of options, but at least it seats plenty of people and we can head upstairs for a comfortable reception. I am sure Lisa Lowe won't mind the setting. (I couldn't look at 126 because something was going on in there this morning, but I certainly trust your opinion on which room is better!) Thanks for handling this, Jeff.
