               To Host the 5th IFCSS Congress
               ==============================

                   (A Call for Proposal)




Dear IFCSS Member Organizations:


     As authorized by the IFCSS Council, the HQ now is making
preliminary preparations for the 5th IFCSS Congress. Our first
task is to find the host school and the location for the Congress.
In the past, the University of Illinois at Chicago, Ohio-State
University, the University of Maryland at College Park and the
University of Minnesota have hosted the First, Second, Third and
Fouth Congresses respectively. This year, priority will be given
to those schools which have not hosted Congresses.

     IFCSS member organizations are encouraged to submit proposals
to host the Fifth Congress. Here are some basic information (or
expectations) about the Congress.

     Time preferred:           Between July 1 and July 20

     Participating schools:    150 +

     Participants (delegates, quests, observers):  250-300

     Days:                     3-4  (Must include a weekend)

Requirement for host schools:

         A:  an active group of volunteers to work for the Congress;
         B:  convenient location and transportation;
         C:  competitive price for meeting rooms and lodging.

     If yous organization is interested, please contact the HQ
as soon as possible.

     Thank you for your attention.
