  Student Admission
  Again this year we have been asked to permit undergraduates to addend at a reduced rate. Professors in Southern California may choose to offer "extra credit" for attending one or more sessions. The registration rate will be $7 for one day or $10 for both days. This covers attendance at panel sessions only. Upon request we will cooperate with area professors by providing sign-in sheets.
  More on Spam Blockers
  Approximately half of our email data base is blocked by university spam filters, making it difficult, time consuming and costly to communicate. If you have an address that you have full control over, please enter it on the link at our website.
  At the moment this is akin to asking students to raise their hand if they are absent. But if your university's decides to impose additional restrictions we still can reach you.
