∂27-Aug-80 1645 REM via SU-TIP Deaf access to SU Comp.Sci. ?
There is a hard-of-hearing person in San Carlos who wants to study
Computer Science when he attends college. I suggested Stanford, MIT,
or CMU. He prefers Stanford because it's nearby. The problem is, how
can he get in contact with people in Comp.Sci. dept? (talking on phone
via voice is almost impossible for him) He has a Bell 103 modem (30 cps),
not a Weitbrecht modem, thus even if SU has a deaf info number it wouldn't
help him because deaf numbers are all Weitbrecht usually. Would it be
reasonable to give him the SU-AI dialup number so he could link to
you or other SU-AI/COMPSCI people and discuss his plans and SU's features?
He has a manual-select answer-mode modem, so you could callhim directly
from a 300 baud terminal at 593-9891 if you wanted.
REM - I suggest you or your deaf friend contact Denny Brown, the associate
chairman of CSD, about his possible CS study. He would know if Stanford
has some official way of helping the handicapped apply.
If this is unsuitable or if it doesn't work out, send me a message. Brown
is DPB@SU-AI.

Ed: Does the following agree with your recollection of what we
promised to do?
Feigenbaum and McCarthy promised the editorial board to propose
a scheme for using part of the journal's money for computerization.
Ideas considered included
subsidizing lecture
commissioning survey articles
on-line form of the journal

We have a year to come up with proposals.

From: RMS at MIT-AI (Richard M. Stallman)
To: JMC at MIT-AI
The funding for my trip has been arranged
but I still haven't been able to find anywhere
to live once I get there.
Can you tell me who I can contact to ask for help?
∂15-Aug-80 1502 CJS classnotes for the Fall quarter
To: JEF at SU-AI, RWF at SU-AI, JMC at SU-AI, DPB at SU-AI
CC: CET at SU-AI, CJS at SU-AI
Okay, I've checked with both the Bookstore and the printer, and here's
where we stand. If everybody can get the master copies for their various
classnotes to me by September 9th (the 10th at the very latest), we can
still get them to the Bookstore before classes start. Will anyone have
a problem meeting this deadline?
