X-To:         Discussion of Middle Europe topics <MIDEUR-L@UBVM.cc.buffalo.edu>

Excuse my first message.  I have been subscribing to the East European
network for a little over month and have enjoyed the information sharing.  I
am still uncertain how to address the network so I hope this works.

In June I attended a conference in Prague entitled "Women and Politics in
East Central Europe" sponsored by IREX, NEH and the State Department and I
wanted additional information on the role of women in the new East and
Central Europe.  So I am appealing to all of you for assistance.  Some
questions I have include:  Are women given the opportunity to participate in
the newly formed governments in policy and decision making areas?  What are
the major fields that employ women?  Is there opportunity for advancement?
Are the new governments committed to funding day care centers, education,
health care?  How has the resurgence of the Catholic Church affected women?
Does anyone have statistics on the various Parliaments in relation to women.
I have heard that in Czechoslovakia there were 31 females in Parliament
during the old government; at present, there are 9.
Thank you for your assistance.

Subject:      funding for foreign students

If anyone has information on how a student from one of the former Yugoslav
republics (Croatia) could receive funding to pursue a master's degree in
business/economics in the United States, would you be so kind as to pass
it on to me? I am interested in funding for both tuition and some expenses.

Thanks!

Accident? Or the beginning of the uncovering of Meciar's mask? The Romanian
Securitate has been VERY experienced in that kind of "accident". Isn't it
strange that this "accident" occurred just there and then? Panic had such an

Subject:      RE:CASUAL INSTRUCTIONS

----------------------------Original message----------------------------

   At Adelphi University, I supply our OPAC screen with a weekly
quote.  The one I chose this morning leapt out at me as something
that applies to the discussion about Casual Instruction:

   "Spoon feeding in the long run teaches you nothing but the
shape of the spoon."
                             E.M. Forster

   You may infer from this that I am squarely on the side of
Stuart Spore and others who have spoken out on behalf of casual
instruction.  In any learning situation involving new software or
CD-ROMs, I am the kind of person who likes to get just enough
from the documentation to enable me to start playing with it and
learn for myself.

   As a product of an Educational Technology Master's degree
program, I well remember that designers of any educational or
training materials must keep in mind the fact that different
people have different learning styles.  Most software producers
recognize these differences by providing various kinds of
documentation for the same product, ranging from brief "cheat
sheets" to complete descriptions of every function.

   I also agree with Spore that calculus is not a good analogy
for learning automation.  Anyone who works with Wordperfect of
Quattro knows that these programs give a wide range of methods
for arriving at the same results.  Subjects like calculus or
flying an airline lend themselves to a rigorous and well-defined
mode of instruction.  In the second case, a mistake the
consequence of doing something unusual could be very costly.  On
the other hand, training in automation lends itself to a more
Taoistic approach.

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Just managed to reconnect to this forum and what is my first message?
How to spell disk.  FWIW, I always assumed that disk was short for
diskette.  My Webster's 9th Collegiate defines "diskette" as a floppy
disk.  Disk and Disc are varient spellings, with k being the preferred
form.  I usually use disk when I mean a floppy disk and disc for CDs.
Mostly it was a question of personal aesthetics.  Not that I thought
anyone else cared or paid attention.  Now I know.  -- Lee Jaffe, UCSC
