Lazear's appearance is jointly sponsored by the School of Professions, the School of Arts and Performance, and the School of Letters and Sciences. David Jaffee , professor of sociology at SUNY New Paltz, offers a course in his approach to distance learning as one important way to address the crises of access, cost, and flexibility that universities will increasingly face in the near future. Also, his experiences suggest that the quality of students' work and thinking improves through distance learning. The next regular issue of Statements will be published March 30. Submissions are due March 17.
Articles accompanied by a computer diskette are preferred.
