An error was printed in the University accommodation
form on rates for double rooms in residence.  The correct
Congress rates, including all taxes, are:
                
     Regular:     Single $41,     Double $54
     Student:     Single $29,     Double $49
                
We regret any inconvenience, but feel it is important to
advise delegates in advance to ensure that residence
registration and check-in run smoothly.  The correct rates
have been posted on the WEB (access ible through the
Federation <www.hssfc.ca> or the University
<www.uottawa.ca>.

ACTR/ARTC Travel
Assistance Policy for Annual
Conference  -- Anne Nothof, Treasurer
This year's travel grant from SSHRC is similar to that of
last year (about $1800). The executive of ACTR/ARTC
will determine whether this will be increased up to a limit
of $2500, depending on budget projections for 1998. 
Generally, about half of an individual's claim is
reimbursed by ACTR/ARTC when the forumula is
applied.  If members have access to alternative sources of
travel funding, they are strongly encouraged to use these.
     For the purpose of establishing the amount of travel
assistance, the total amount claimed by members is divided
by the amount available, and the following ratio applied:

     Executive - 0.5
     Presenters - 0.5
     Panel members - 0.25

Travel reimbursement for students and unemployed or
underemployed may be supplemented, if the budget
allows.
     Travel claims must be for the lowest economy plane
fare.  Mileage claims will be at the rate of $.25 per km, or
for total gas expenses (with receipts), whichever is the
least expensive.  Bus travel will be reimbursed at the same
rate as car travel.

Caucus francophone et
francophile (CFF)
7:00 - 9:00pm Wed 27 May 1998
Chair: Jo‰l Beddows
             
Cette premiŠre r‚union du CFF aura pour but la d‚finition
de son mandat:  il serait donc question de d‚terminer si le
CFF devrait ˆtre, a priori, un lieu d'‚change entre
chercheurs francophones et francophiles, un organisme qui
examinent les questions li‚es 
 la place du fran‡ais au sein
de l'ARTC, ou les deux.    Bien que les d‚fis soient
nombreux - il ne faut pas s'en cacher -, il est essentiel que
l'ARTC se dote d'un lieu d'‚change afin de trouver les
solutions n‚cessaires.  C'est pour lancer le d‚bat que nous
vous communiquions les questions suivantes:

1.   Comment peut-on am‚liorer la place du fran‡ais en
     tant que langue de communication au  sein de
     l'ARTC?

     a)    Faire de l'ARTC un organisme CO-lingue et non
          Bi-lingue.

     b)   Sp‚cifier la langue de communication des
          sessions - fran‡ais, anglais, les deux.

     c)   Faire le l'ARTC un organisme de langue anglaise
          et du CFF un lieu qui examine uniquement les
          pratiques de langue fran‡aise.

2.   Les rapports entre l'ARTC et la SQET (Soci‚t‚
     qu‚b‚coise des ‚tudes th‚ƒtrales) - comment
     am‚liorer les ‚changes?

3.   Comment communiquer 
 l'ensemble du membership
     de l'ARTC les pr‚occupations  exprim‚es et mettre en
     place les solutions trouv‚es?

An error was printed in the University accommodation
form on rates for double rooms in residence.  The correct
Congress rates, including all taxes, are:
                
     Regular:     Single $41,     Double $54
     Student:     Single $29,     Double $49
                
We regret any inconvenience, but feel it is important to
advise delegates in advance to ensure that residence
registration and check-in run smoothly.  The correct rates
have been posted on the WEB (access ible through the
Federation <www.hssfc.ca> or the University

ACTR/ARTC Travel
Assistance Policy for Annual
Conference  -- Anne Nothof, Treasurer
This year's travel grant from SSHRC is similar to that of
last year (about $1800). The executive of ACTR/ARTC
will determine whether this will be increased up to a limit
of $2500, depending on budget projections for 1998. 
Generally, about half of an individual's claim is
reimbursed by ACTR/ARTC when the forumula is
applied.  If members have access to alternative sources of
travel funding, they are strongly encouraged to use these.
     For the purpose of establishing the amount of travel
assistance, the total amount claimed by members is divided
by the amount available, and the following ratio applied:

     Executive - 0.5
     Presenters - 0.5
     Panel members - 0.25

Travel reimbursement for students and unemployed or
underemployed may be supplemented, if the budget
allows.
     Travel claims must be for the lowest economy plane
fare.  Mileage claims will be at the rate of $.25 per km, or
for total gas expenses (with receipts), whichever is the
least expensive.  Bus travel will be reimbursed at the same
rate as car travel. 


   
Caucus francophone et
francophile (CFF)
7:00 - 9:00pm Wed 27 May 1998
Chair: Jo‰l Beddows
             
Cette premiŠre r‚union du CFF aura pour but la d‚finition
de son mandat:  il serait donc question de d‚terminer si le
CFF devrait ˆtre, a priori, un lieu d'‚change entre
chercheurs francophones et francophiles, un organisme qui
examinent les questions li‚es 
 la place du fran‡ais au sein
de l'ARTC, ou les deux.    Bien que les d‚fis soient
nombreux - il ne faut pas s'en cacher -, il est essentiel que
l'ARTC se dote d'un lieu d'‚change afin de trouver les
solutions n‚cessaires.  C'est pour lancer le d‚bat que nous
vous communiquions les questions suivantes:

1.   Comment peut-on am‚liorer la place du fran‡ais en
     tant que langue de communication au  sein de
     l'ARTC?

     a)    Faire de l'ARTC un organisme CO-lingue et non
          Bi-lingue.

     b)   Sp‚cifier la langue de communication des
          sessions - fran‡ais, anglais, les deux.

     c)   Faire le l'ARTC un organisme de langue anglaise
          et du CFF un lieu qui examine uniquement les
          pratiques de langue fran‡aise.

2.   Les rapports entre l'ARTC et la SQET (Soci‚t‚
     qu‚b‚coise des ‚tudes th‚ƒtrales) - comment
     am‚liorer les ‚changes?

3.   Comment communiquer 
 l'ensemble du membership
     de l'ARTC les pr‚occupations  exprim‚es et mettre en
     place les solutions trouv‚es?
