CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Friday, August 22, 1997
Goodtime Charley's from 4pm to 5:50pm.
Your are invited to take part in this week's happy hour, the theme of
which will be "Transitions: From Summer to Fall". This gathering will

Please take a moment to look at the program below. We hope to see you
there! - The Organizers
PROGRAM
4pm Opening Plenary
Dave Meyer
On Asking Questions: A Forum Retrospective
A key aspect of any academic discussion is the ability to properly,
and efficiently formulate and ask questions of speakers. A good question
can serve many purposes: to confuse, confound, or scare. However, a
poorly delivered question do just the opposite. In his talk, Dr. Meyer
will discuss his techniques and strategies, relying on both experimental
and field data. In the course of the plenary you will be confronted with
such classics as, "What's in your pockets?" and "Do you mean to tell me
that that isn't significant?". In addition, Dr. Meyer will present some
new, interesting data on the ability to perform additional tasks (such as
eating lunch) while asking questions.
