	Okie, I'm taking the dip, starting to look at grad schools.  My
	current list is Michigan State, Northwestern, Minnesota, North
	Texas, Illinois, and UW-Eau Claire.  My interests are for music
	theory, woodwinds performance, or conducting.  This is, of course,
	if I stay in the U.S.  I would like to study at King's College
	Cambridge for choral music, though.  Could anyone email me info
	on any of the above schools?  Oh yeah, most importantly, my
	principal instruments are BASS clarinet and ALTO voice, so this
	might possibly eliminate some possibilities.  Like North Texas...
	Oh well, any info will be deeply appreciated.  Thanks!

I have been politely informed that I don't know what I'm talking
about. Apparently the school of humanities & sciences at Stanford
decided that for graduate admissions, each department would have
two separate "pools" one for applicant claiming membership in
certain targeted ethnic groups, and another for everyone else.

I could only guess at what legal base this is founded on but I
don't think that the two pools will be competing for admissions.
The purpose of the system is to help those who are disadvantaged
by their ethnic origin and not to hurt those who are not dis-
advantaged.

However, whether you put your race down or not won't make any
difference. If you don't tell the university your race they will
just assume that you do not belong to the targeted ethnic groups.

Does anyone know the legal foundation of Stanford's decision?

Hi to all who have knowledge
                   (and who hasn't?),

I am planning to study one year at a graduate school at an American
university in 1993/94. Although, I already have some universities in
mind, I'm still searching for the ultima universitas.

Therefore, my question to the unknown reader:
Do you know an university, which offers graduate classes regarding
   * neural nets ,
   * connectionism ,
   * & such stuff ?
Then please mail me, perhaps even include broader information about
this institution.
 
Greetings from a far distant country

I am under the impression that on applications, all questions about ethnic
background are optional.  That is, I believe that a school cannot require you
to give your ethnic background.  Is this true?

I am afraid that if I answer these questions I may hurt my chances of
being accepted.  To what extent are my fears justified?

People... please read the rules...

This news group is restricted to the dissemination, by academic
departments, of information about graduate programs.  The group
provides a simple place for students who are looking for graduate
school information.  In addition, for many international students it
is the best way for obtaining information about universities in other
countries.

This is an unmoderated group, but with a set of "rules" that are
posted each month.  These rules are designed to keep the group as
effective as possible as an official source of information for
prospective graduate students.  As discussed below, there will be a
group guardian, who makes sure that the rules are followed.  There are
four rules:

1. Standard Subject line, listing the degree area and the university.
  e.g. Subject: Computer Science, Montana State University
2. Standard format in the body of the proposal.  Information to be
  filled in is limited to:
  (a) Name, e-address, phone, and snail-address for a contact point.
  (b) Faculty names, degrees, interests, and e-addresses.
  (c) Facilities available for graduate students.
  (d) Availability of financial support.
  (e) Degrees offered.
  (f) Specific requirements.  (e.g., GRE, TOEFL, TSE, etc.)
  (g) Deadline for applications.
  (h) Description of the university and location (200 words max.).
3. No department will be able to post more than once each month.
4. All postings must specify a followup field of soc.college

Your fears are completely unjustified. The reason universities
collect this information is for their own records so they have
some idea of the size of each population(men, women, african
american, asian american, latin american, european american etc.)
at the school. They might use the information to make people
aware of financial aid that is available but they can not use
race or sex as a criteria for admission. 

This was established in a court case in California I believe in
relation to medical school but I'm not really sure. Can someone
help me out?

If you don't answer the question it won't change anything, you
will just be classified in the university's statistics as race
unknown.

Is 'they' really used in the UK? (And don't use a quote from
Shakespeare as a proof 8-) ). Also, 'the rest of the world' don't
speak English, it speaks Chinese.

There are no gender-neutral pronouns (singular or plural or whatever)
in many languages, including my native Polish, and we're perfectly
happy with that. Maybe it's because in Polish 'grammatical gender' <>
'sex', so it's possible for a masculine gender word to refer to woman
and vice versa. And we have different words for 'man, pl. men' and
'man, pl. people'.
