                              announcing the

    Internationale Gesellschaft fur Empirische Literaturwissenschaft

    International Association for the Empirical Study of Literature

                      Third International Conference

               Memphis State University and Rhodes College
                            Memphis, Tennessee
                             May 21-23, 1992

   We are happy to announce the Third Internation IGEL Conference to be
held in Memphis Tennessee from May 21-23, 1992.  We invite you to join us
in Memphis in May of 1992 for a lively discussion on the empirical
approach to the study of literature, the media, and the arts.

  For those of you unfamiliar with IGEL and the conference, IGEL is the
International Association for the Empirical Study of Literature.  Since its
inception in the early 1980's, it has provided an international forum for
the research and ideas of scholars from such diverse fields as cultural
sociology, cognitive psychology, literary criticism, discourse processing,
liguistics, education, cultural economics, and art.

   Several keynote speakers will present their research in plenary sessions.
There will also be parallel paper and poster sessions (which will not
overlap the plenary sessions).

   A special session on theatre works will feature a panel discussion with a
playwright, an actress, a director of theatrical productions, and a critic.
They will discuss aesthetic quality and the extent to which they are
concerned with the cognitive and emotional responses of their audiences.

   In addition to the scholarly activities, there will be an informal
reception on Wednesday evening (May 20) at 7 p.m., a dinner and gathering
in the Rhodes Campus on Thursday evening, and a riverboat cruise on the
Mississippi River on Friday evening.  Memphis will be in full bloom by May.
For those who are interested in seeing the city and some of the sights, we
can arrange trips to Graceland (home of Elvis Presley), the new pyramid of
Memphis, and Mud Island.  We want your visit to Memphis to be unforgettable.


   Research areas to be covered include:  Literary reading comprehension,
Films, drama, computers, and other forms of media, The role of institutions
and culture in literature, Education and social responsibility, and
Metatheory.

Subject: RFD:  rec.sport.baseball.roto
Followup-To: news.groups
Organization: NASA Lewis Research Center
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1992 17:21:15 GMT

This proposal has been made twice before.  Last fall, I proposed a 
newsgroup by the name of rec.sport.baseball.roto, and withdrew the RFD
prior to a Call for Votes.  I felt that, although only one person openly
opposed the proposed new group, there was not enough support to pass the
group in a vote.  One month ago, Michael Kelley proposed a sub-hierarchy
for all fantasy sports, and abandoned the RFD prior to a Call for Votes.

There is currently a Mailing List for Rotisserie and Fantasy Baseball.
That Mailing List now has more than 100 participants, with in excess of
30 postings per day, a level of traffic greater than a large number of
existing Usenet groups (including some very useful ones, I might add).
The signal-to-noise ratio is extremely high (in fact, there is almost no
noise at all).  The traffic is expected to go down somewhat after the
baseball season starts, but there will still be in excess of 20 postings
per day on the List.  In short, a newsgroup for this subject has been 
demonstrated necessary by traffic as well as by usefulness.  For that
reason, I have returned with essentially the same proposal.

Here is the Charter for the Mailing List (last updated 02/03/92):

This List is designed to funnel off discussions of Rotisserie or Fantasy
baseball from the existing newsgroup rec.sport.baseball.  Among points for
discussion are the following:

o  formation of Rotisserie/Fantasy baseball leagues;
o  trading of players/analysis of trades between Roto/Fantasy teams;
o  selection of statistics used to rate teams;
o  expansion and removal of teams;
o  player auctions;
o  league government;
o  related games (e.g. Strat-o-Matic, Pursue the Pennant, etc.);
o  updates on individual players (on the DL?  sent to the minors?);
o  selection of league/team names :-)...

and so on.  Kudos to Stephen Opal for coming up with the list server.

This RFD will be considered active until 05/06, a period of 30 days as
requested by the Usenet Guidelines for New Group Creation.  After that
time a Call for Votes will be issued.  This time I won't be backing down
:-).  Discussion of this proposal should be carried on in news.groups, as
both the newsgroup and the Mailing List have their own charters and are 
full of their own traffic as it is.

***** PROPOSAL FOR NEWSGROUP TO DISCUSS COMPOSING/SONGWRITING:

NAME
----

     rec.music.compose

STATUS
------

     unmoderated

CHARTER:
-------

     rec.music.compose would allow composers and songwriters of all sorts
to exchange ideas concerning the creation of musical works.  Questions to
be addressed include:

     - Where is composing/songwriting heading?  What is being written?
     - How is the the art of music writing approached today?
     - What obstacles are writers facing in today's society?
     - What can a composer/songwriter do to improve his craft?

     This forum would be open to discussions of all styles of composition;
would allow composers/songwriters to establish connections with one ano-
ther;  would allow for artists to send each other tapes with latest ideas
for opinions/constructive criticism.

RATIONALE:
---------

     There are assorted newsgroups in existence for the discussion of dif-
ferent styles of music; however, these discussions are strictly from a
listener's perspective.  There is also rec.music.makers which discusses the
process by which a musician produces the audible end product.  However,
there is no group that addresses the creative process that is so important
to the art of music-making.  This group would serve to fill that gap.

Subject: CFV:  soc.penpals
Followup-To: poster
Organization: University of Massachusetts at Amherst
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 1992 15:53:20 GMT

Name of Newsgroup:  SOC.PENPALS

Status:  UNMODERATED

Charter:  This newsgroup is to make it possible for people on the net to 
	make friends and penpals.  This will also give people a chance to have 
	correspondents in other places of the world, which is helpful for 
	travel and tourism.  Included will be postings of information about 
	people interested in becoming a penpal and also general 
	information/questions about certain geographical locations are also 
	accepted.     


Rationale:  It's true that you can meet people through other newsgroups but 
	you do not always have the guarantee that they will want to 
	have penpals.  Having this newsgroup makes it easier to make 
	friends without possibly searching endlessly.  As one person said 
	to me during the rfd: "You can't tell much about a person from an 
	opinion or two in a post".  In soc.penpals, people would list post 
	some of their interests so others would get an idea about whether 
	they'd like to correspond with them or not.  Also, this newsgroup 
	has often been compared to alt.personals.  There is one major 
	difference.  There would not be any anonymous postings.  As one 
	person put it:  "...a lot hide behind anonymity to spew abuse and 
	intolerance". Therefore, without the anonymouse postings, we may get 
	rid of some of that.

Voting:  Please send all votes DIRECTLY to:
		
			s7985203@tethys.ucc.umass.edu


	Votes that are posted on the net WILL NOT be accepted.
	Please also be very specific as to whether you are voting FOR or 
AGAINST this newsgroup.  It is suggested that you word it similar to the 
following:
	   I vote FOR soc.penpals 
		   or			
	   I vote AGAINST soc.penpals

also accepted:  I vote YES for soc.penpals
			or
		I vote NO for soc.penpals

Please also include your name in your vote.

Voting Period:   All voting will end at 5:00 PM EST on APRIL 30, 1992!
		Any votes that are received after that time will NOT be 
		counted.

This is a Call For Votes for the news group

rec.pictures.fine-art.d

Votes are to be sent to mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu

They should contain the line:

send voting/rec.pictures.fine-art.d-yes  
or
send voting/rec.pictures.fine-art.d-no

for more information on the voting procedure, send a message to the
mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu with "send voting/help" in it

Voting will end May 6th, 11:59 GMT.
This will be a MODERATED group

This group serves three purposes--
  a) to organize the distribution of graphics images of *original* art works
     created by the poster
  b) to organize the distribution of graphics images created with computer
     graphics techniques, again, created by the poster
  c) to discuss applications of computers to the creation of artworks

However, the images will NOT be posted to the proposed group.  They will
be available in two alt groups:
     alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.graphics 
     alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.digitized
The pictures will also be available via anonymous FTP from our site.

In addition, users may request selected graphics images by electronic mail.

This is NOT a referendum on the alt groups.  Those groups have a
separate creation procedure (using alt.config).  We have gone through
that procedure for those groups.
  
rec.pictures.fine-art.d will be a discussion group for both of the
above picture groups.  

For each picture made available through
alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.graphics or
alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.digitized
the poster will send a short biography and any other information
associated with the drawing.  These will be posted in rec.pictures.fine-art.d

The biography should include:

a) name
b) education
c) affiliation
d) physical mail address
e) electronic mail address
f) exhibition record (optional)
g) age (optional)

This is intended to be the same sort of information that would be
included in art book.

A long-term goal would be to assemble an art book and/or a CD-ROM
based on the work submitted.  (Of course, we would request the consent
of each poster prior to including their work.)  This would include
the possible non-profit distribution to art departments worldwide.

Followup-To: poster
Organization: University of Utah, CS Dept., Salt Lake City
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1992 16:24:49 GMT

	This is the call for votes regarding the creation of the news
group "comp.windows.x.apps".

	To cast your vote, send email to "mmoore@peruvian.utah.edu", and be
sure to clearly indicate whether you vote yes or no.  Preferably, yes votes
should state "I vote yes for comp.windows.x.apps" and no votes should
state "I vote no for comp.windows.x.apps" somewhere in the message.

	Votes are only counted if sent through email.  Posted votes are
not valid.  

	This call for votes will end April 29th, 1992.  Votes RECEIVED
after 23:59 GMT of April 29th will not be counted.  At the end of the 
voting period I will talley the yes and no votes and post a summary.

	Creation of the newsgroup at the end of the voting period depends
upon the following conditions :

> AFTER the waiting period, and if there were no serious objections that might
>   invalidate the vote, and if 100 more valid YES/create votes are received
>   than NO/don't create AND at least 2/3 of the total number of valid votes
>   received are in favor of creation, a newgroup control message may be sent
>   out.  If the 100 vote margin or 2/3 percentage is not met, the group should
>   not be created."

	Pending is the official charter for the proposed group :

-------------------------- BEGIN CHARTER -------------------------------
Name   : comp.windows.x.apps
Status : Non-Moderated

     This newsgroup would be for the discussion of X Windows
applications, both public-domain and commercial (where appropriate).
Its main purpose would be to facilitate the finding of specific X
Window applications (such as ftp sites for those applications which
are in the public-domain), to discuss which application is best suited
to particular situations, to provide a medium where one can review
applications, and to provide a place where functional questions can be
asked about X Window programs.

     The newsgroup would cover all forms of X applications, regardless
of the widget set(s) used or the program's function.

     The newsgroup would not be intended for Xlib or widget
programming discussion, but would encourage discussion of application
compilation or modifications, provided they are not more suited to an
Xlib or widget question.
