	The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition is held 
early each December.  Any undergraduate can compete up to four times.
See old volumes of the American Mathematical Monthly, usually
around the August-September issue.  Contest entries are due in early October.

	The July, 1990 ACMemberNet (new supplement to Communications ACM) 
announced a 1990-91 ACM Scholastic Programming Contest.
Regionals will be held this fall, and finals will be held 
March 5, 1991, at the 19th Computer Science Conference.
Teams may use Pascal or C languages, under UNIX System V.
The contest director is William Poucher of Baylor University 
(sorry, I don't know the address).  ACM members can submit
potential problems to Jo Perry of North Carolina State University,
jep@cscadm.ncsu.edu; contact him for more information about submissions.

If I spent as much time on my dissertation as I do reading news, I'd graduate.
