The following announcement is directed to undergraduates
in Statistics, Mathematics and Engineering but we encourage anyone
with interest in applied statistics to apply. Over the past 7 years,
the cooperative program has expanded to three divisions inside Ford
Motor Company and with a total of a dozen cooperative students.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
COOPERATIVE SCHOLAR PROGRAM IN APPLIED STATISTICS
	In conjunction with the Ford Motor partnership, Oakland
University has developed a unique cooperative program for the master's
degree in applied statistics, offered through the Department of
Mathematical Sciences. This program provides graduate students an
opportunity to apply modern statistical methods to real world problems.
	A selected few students pursuing the Master of Science in
Applied Statistics at Oakland University will be chosen as cooperative
scholars. This program requires two calendar years to complete. Students
can start the cooperative program anytime during the summer prior to
beginning the M.S. program in September. The stipend for Graduate
Cooperative Scholars will be approximately $16,800 annually. In
addition, tuition is waived for 20 graduate credits per year.
	The scholar is required to participate in statistical consulting
and training activities at automotive manufacturing/ technical sites for
120 days per year. This internship experience is supervised jointly by
Oakland University faculty and the sponsoring company. The program is
designed for the scholar to apply his or her classroom experience to
real problems in a modern high-tech environment.

The discussion forum for Statistics Education is available by e-mail
subscription or as a UseNet News newsgroup (bit.listserv.edstat-l).

This message is sent out on a monthly basis and provides an overview
of some of the more important guidelines arrived at by the members of
the list, not merely the owner:
===============================================================================

  The following  guidelines have  been agreed  upon by  the membership  of this
list, and it is hoped that you will respect them:

    1) Postings should be directed to  more than one person; messages which are
       clearly of  value to  only one (or  just a few)  members should  be sent
       privately.

    2) No individual should post more than twice per topic in a 24-hour period.

    3)  Postings should  contain the  real name  of the  sender, either  in the
       header or the body of the message.

    4) Personal attacks and insults are prohibited.

You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF EDSTAT-L"
command to LISTSERV@NCSUVM.cc.ncsu.edu. Please note that this command
must NOT be sent to the list address (EDSTAT-L@NCSUVM.cc.ncsu.edu) but
to the LISTSERV address (LISTSERV@NCSUVM.cc.ncsu.edu).

The amount of acknowledgement you wish to receive from this list upon
completion of a mailing operation can be changed by means of "SET
EDSTAT-L REPRO" which will insure that you receive your own postings to
the list.

Contributions sent to this list are  automatically archived. You can obtain a
list of the  available archive files by sending an  "INDEX EDSTAT-L" command to
LISTSERV@NCSUVM. These files can then be  retrieved by means of a "GET EDSTAT-L
filetype" command, or using the database search facilities of LISTSERV. Send an
"INFO DATABASE" command for more information on the latter.

Furthermore, these log files are edited into quarterly files--only the
highlights of the discussions are kept.  These quarterly files will be
available soon, hopefully by December at least. 

  More  information  on  LISTSERV  commands   can  be  found  in  the  "General
Introduction  guide", which  you can  retrieve  by sending  an "INFO  GENINTRO"
command to LISTSERV@NCSUVM.cc.ncsu.edu

April,
        If consulting is what interests you, I'd strongly suggest takingn
some time to acquire the "people" skills - almost as much as you will
devote to acquiring the technical skills. There are two (basically) ways
that I've noted: 1) work as an assistant to a consultant for a period of
time...get some experience in both tech. applications as well as the
professional considerations involved in any kind of consulting work
(i.e., the "people" skills)..then get your degree; 2) go to a school
that provides those kinds of opportunities to it's students. While
I got my Ph.D. in Psychology, I minored in Stat. at a school that had
a strong "theoretical" and a strong "applied" tradition (in the Stat.
dept.,that is)....Florida State University. When I was there, and I think
this is still true, grad. students served as consultants to faculty and
students of other disciplines. It was very much appreciated by many of
my colleagues in psychology, especially those in Clinical and Social, who
did not know, nor care to know, many of the important considerations
that they probably should have known regarding stat. analysis and design.
The grad. students in Statistics who assisted them DID NOT do the work
for them, but rather served almost as combination of tech. advisors  and
tutors.
        Yes, I enjoyed Florida State, both the Psych. program and the
Stat. Dept. I'd certainly recommend it, or any similarly structured
program.

Subject:      Biostatistics Programs

Every School of Public Health must have a Biostatistics program in order to be
accredited. Some of the main programs (in no order other than the first one)
UCLA     North Carolina    Johns Hopkins    Harvard    Columbia    Emory
Pittsburgh    Texas    Minnesota    Michigan    Tulane    Washington
UC Berkeley   San Diego State University    Boston University    U. Mass.
Yale     Alabama     South Florida
Also, some medical schools have biostatistics programs. For example, Iowa, Ohio
State, Colorado, among many have biostats.

Many of these programs coordinate their course work with a department of sta-
tistics on the same campus. Thus, an apparently 'small' department may have
10 or 20 more faculty who teach in a department of statistics. For example,
my department has 8 full-time faculty, 5 joint appointees (who teach at least
one course within the department) and there are about 10 mathematical statisti-
cians in the Math department.

From April's description, it sounds as if she is more interested in collabora-
tion than methodology development. The Dr.P.H. (Doctorate in Public Health)
degree is an almost ideal degree for such a person. It requires substantial
course work, a comprehensive exam, and a dissertation which has a distinctly
applied flavor, generally.(Some have been fairly theoretical)
I hope this helps, and I apologize for any schools I have omitted - it's not
intentional.

Hello everyone,

I have a question.  :)  The question regards a project one of my supervisors
is investigating.  Here is the scenerio:  we have a piece of Windows
software that we wish to put upon a LAN (probably Novell or Banyan) and
have a given number of users be able to dial in to use it.  Questions
come up in that:  what kind of software is availalbe for running on a
network environment that will transmit intensive graphics data (i.e. Windows
itself)? is it safe to assume the higher the baud rate the better?
would a modem pool be ideal?  Our major stumbling block is what software
to run on the PC and LAN ends.  Originally we were just thinking PCAnywhere
and just one on one, now the project is being expanded for multiple
concurrent usage of the package.  Any help/suggestions/horror stories would
be appreciated.  I am a bit of a novice in the WAN/LAN area.  Thanks.

You can put it anyway you like it, but there are docoments to prove that
when Hitler, during the German Navy parade and christening of the ship
"Prinz Eugen" in 1938 offered Horthy entire Slovakia if he would join
Germany in a concerted attack on Czechoslovakia, he declined the offer,
stating that Hungary is only interested in peaceful revision.  After
that, Hitler started to court the Slovaks.

It's no secret that Hungary never considered the Trianon treaties just,
even on an ethnic basis.  Far more Hungarians ended up in neighboring
states than neighboring ethnics remained in Hungary.  I happen to
belive that the political leaders of the successor states also have
known this and that's why they remained paranoid about Hungary's
intentions, regardless what the stated intention of Hungarian
governments was and is.

>  I don't think Admiral Horthy did even think
> about "keeping the Germans from as much territory as possible"...

Of course, it would not have worried as much if those territories were
not the ones that used to belong to Hungary before.  In addition, the
Polish government also approached the Hungarians about the desirability
to reestablish the old Hungarian-Polish border.  I can quote you
from the memoires of the then American ambassador to Hungary who says
exactly the same thing, basically saying that once Czechoslovakia is
no more and it looks like Hitler is going to be master of that
territory, we (i.e., the Hungarians) might as well grab back as much of
our old territory as much we can before Hitler grabs it.  Somebody
already stated here that Hitler wasn't pleased by that.  In any event,
history proved that to be a prudent move, as it became the only excape
route through land where tens of thousand of Poles were able to save
their skins and later rejoin the fight against Nazi Germany with the
allied armies and air forces.  The Slovak-Polish border was used by the
Germans to attack Poland, but the reestablished Hungarian-Polish border
was not.

Well, I appreciate Horthy's soft approach to his neighbours, as he surely
showed it during his time of government. Surely his letter sent to Hitler
on March 13, 1939 proves all that:
"Your Excellency - my sincere thanks, I can hardly tell you how happy I
am because this (Danube) Head Water Region - I dislike using big words -
is of vital importance to the life of Hungary. In spite of the fact that
our recruits have only been serving five weeks, we are going into this
affair with eager enthusiasm. The dispositions have already been made. On
Thursday, the sixteenth of this month, a frontier incident will take
place which will be followed by a big blow on Saturday. I shall never
forget this proof of friendship, and Your Excellency may rely on my
unshakable gratitude at all times. Your devoted friend - Horthy"
No comments to this. But even though Horthy showed so much enthusiasm,
and his dispositions included a bombing of some cities (he probably
didn't realize that some of his fellow countrymen can be hurt), he
probably would get a good kick from Mr Duray for refusing Hitler's offer
mentioned above...

Radio Free Europe news excerpts carried an item a few days ago.
According to that, the Hungarian sections of formally bi-lingual signs of
Hungarian-populated towns and villages in Slovakia are being removed.

If correct, and I wish someone could authoritatively refute this, such
a measure is hardly the way to make an already nervous minority feel reassured.

Joe, I'm really glad you've finaly understood what I tried to show you.
I tried to push further your unappropriate example. Remember the two lines
in my posting?
   But as I said, the borders were always different so you cannot claim
   that because for 1K years Hungarians lived there it should be theirs.
Could you imagine that Italy will start to claim all the regions which
were under the rule during the Roman empire (the borders were as far as
to the Trencin).
But, we are too far from the originally discussed problems. As Marian and
Lubosh noted, we should wait till you get the information about
the oppression of hungarian minority in Slovakia. We should discuss
todays problems.
