A summary of CUAC and it's function is in the latest issue of the WAML
IB, July 1993, p. 217. As past Chair of CUAC I gave a paper at ACMLA
this July at Memorial University, St. John's detailing CUAC's history
and operations for our Canadian counterparts who are considering a
similar organization. It will appear in their Bulletin this fall. I
would hope Melissa would answer to this, too, but I know she is very
busy preparing for the meeting. Linda Newman. (702) 784-6596
