through this medium, i had had an email conversation with someone
about the syracuse legal history phd. program.  that person forwarded
my name to the history dept. which sent me a very detailed and very
welcoming message, much more inviting than i had received from any of
the other schools (nearly all ivy league) from which i had requested
information.

is this a case of avis vs. hertz (being #2, they try harder)? i don't
know, but in any event i congratulate syracuse on both its forward
thinking policy of using e-mail and its attention to the needs of
prospective applications.

If you look around enough you should be able to find a program that
effectively satisfies your needs to combine any two out of these
three fields.  For example, Cognitive Science could combine Computer
Science and Psychology.

Finding a place that will allow you to keep your job is much harder--
not only does it have to be part-time, but within commuting distance
as well.

   I've never heard of a double major in graduate school.  They
must think that it's too much to handle or that one ought to
make up their minds.   It seems that they allow some creative
ways of getting degrees for undergraduates but not graduates.
If you're more interested in the course work than the degree,
you can, of course, just take courses in both areas.  And,
sometimes they do allow some courses taken in other areas,
so that if you major in one area, you can still take courses
in another major.  It's usually related of course.  And, if
you have plenty of time, you could always do one degree first,
and the second degree later on.

   The Gourman report does come out in a book form, for undergraduate
and graduate studies.   This group frequently points out that despite
the methodology the book claims to use (in the first few pages), that,
in reality, the author has made up some rankings, and that some of the
numbers associated with schools are so close as to not deserve a 
distinction in rankings.   Despite this, I think it's one place to 
consider looking just to get a rough feel for how good schools are.
Try not to think that if one school is 9th and another is 10th, then
the 9th is necessarily better.

   What would be better, in my opinion, is to list the numbers, such
as (1) funding for the dept. (2) funding by groups in the dept. (3)
funding by professor (4) a ranking of professors and groups of
professors who do the best work in certain fields (admittedly,
biased) (5) number of graduate students in MS and Ph.D. program
(6) number of years (average) to obtain a degree (7) how many
students are funded, by TA, and by RA, and so forth.  Better still
would be an opinion of the graduate "climate".  The kind of equipment,
the temperament of the faculty, the kind of research being done.  Some
of this could be found out with great difficulty, and would end up
in lawsuits, I assume.  For example, how would it be if a book
said "Works foreign grad students very hard, never around, a
taskmaster, etc."   This would be a quick way to make sure that
this prof. never gets any more students (which may be a good thing),
or even a glowing "easy to work for, no pressure, get degree quickly"
might put too much undue popularity for some profs.  It's probably the
kind of information potential grads would like to have, but I doubt
it will come anytime soon, or ever.

Congratulations all Employees of the USA
========================================

Late last summer the House of Representatives reviewed and
passed HR-127 (now known as HR-11, section 127).  In the US
Senate last week the bill HR 11, including Section 127 was voted
upon and signed.  It is now in front of President Bush awaiting his
signature.

In the Senate bill, the extension of Section 127 has been reduced
from 18 month to 15 months.  The effective dates are July 1, 1992
through September 30, 1993.  This reduction in the extension of
expiring provisions, including Section 127 and the R&D credit,
occured so that Senator Dole (R-KS) and others could pay for an
extension of Section 29, the nonconventional fuels tax credit.

Again CONGRATULATION to all those that VOICED thier
opinions to their representatives in both houses and to the US
President.  I would like to say "Job well done" but its not over yet,
President Bush has to sign it into law.  So keep calling and writing.

By the way, HR-11 Section 127 is the Employer Educational
Assistance Act and *not* the Graduate Stipend legislation.  That
camp has *alot* of work ahead and NEEDS your help to get any
legislation passed.  Again, CONTACT YOUR
REPRESENTATIVES!

Someone made a good point a while back ... we elected these
people and it is our responsibility to make sure they accurately
represent our interests both individually and collectivly.  So it is
YOUR REPSONSIBILTY AS A U.S. CITIZEN TO REMAIN IN
CONTACT....no more belly aching.

   We might not have to create a newsgroup.  This group has pretty
low volume as it is.   The only problem might be whether one wants
to advertise their statements to everyone.   Of course, it could
be doctored up a little for public consumption since we are
only interested in looking at the style and content rather than
the actual truth.  If others give their permission, then
it might be possible to post a statement, and sort of open
it up to public critique.

There seems to be quite a few double majors in grad school, actually.  What
about MD-PhD programs, and JD(law) programs that offer joint masters
in other depts?  Maybe it's more difficult to create your own independent
double major, but it's probably possible.
