			Update: UMass Greek Affairs has agreed to sponsor the conference, I have a meeting with them tomorrow morning. The running estimate on the price is $100 a person. It breaks down like this:Lodging: $36 (double rooms in a hall of residence)
 Food: $48 (8 meals in the dining commons)
 Conference fee: $6 (flat fee charged by the University)
 Room fee (est.): $10 (this is determined by the number of people who attend. It's the amount they're charging us for using conference rooms/the number of people coming.)
 
 You also need to figure in the cost necessary to get to Amherst (the nearest airport is Bradley Int'l in Hartford, CT; the nearest bus stop is on campus; the nearest Amtrak station is on Main Street, about two miles from campus), and any money you'll want to spend while you're here.
 
 I'll have the date and a more exact price nailed down the middle of next week.
