    MEXICO MEETING DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 30 JUNE!
      (Meeting is 18-20 October, 2001)

    The deadline for proposals for the Mexico meeting
    of PCA has been extended to 30 June, 2001--the end
    of this month.

    We are delighted with the quality of the papers
    proposed so far, but Paul Rich of the Universidad de
    las Americas (UDLA) has all kinds of social and
    meal events planned under the tent of registration--to
    include a visit to the Volkswagon plant where ALL
    of the Volkswagons you see in the US are made. (The
    tour will be followed by a reception hosted by the
    German Ambassador. There are a number of such
    eye-opening events with transportation, food, and
    drink thrown in; it will give folks a wonderful chance
    to see the economic potential of NAFTA.)

    We now have planned a series of poetry readings and
    and a film festival with filmmakers introducing and
    discussing their works.

    Paul Rich is asking for innovative presentation formats
    and demanding fewer speakers per panel--a noble objective
    for us all!

    In any case, please reconsider the meeting and send a
    proposal to the appropriate Area Chair. (Full list is on
    the Mexico web site: www.udlap.mx/congress)
