Raja Rao, Department of English, Berhampur University Berhampur (Orissa) INDIA 760 007 ph: 011-91-680-200863 Registration: $50 (includes room and board at the conference hotel for two days) Gopalpur-on-Sea is a quiet beach resort on the Bay of Bengal on the central east coast of India. The nearest airport at Bhubaneswar (95 miles) is connected by bus, train, taxi and automobile. The nearest railway station at Berhampur (5 miles) is connected to Calcutta, Madras, and Mumbai (Bombay) by super fast express trains. December is very mild in Gopalpur (50-60F degrees). The beach is extremely clean and quiet. Accommodation: The conference will be held at the Vincent Retreat and all participants will be housed there. The conference registration includes the cost of lodging and all meals. Additional hotel accommodation is also available within short walking distance at: Oberoi Palm Beach ($120/single; $190/double) Hotel Mermaid ($20/single, includes meals) Orissa is a colorful state with a lot of tourist attractions. Travel to Bhubaneswar-Puri-Konark, known as the Golden Triangle, can be arranged by the local coordinators for a small additional cost. For travel arrangements from the United States and for travel in other parts of India (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur is a popular corridor), I recommend Mrs. Hasu Tailor of Travel Exchange, Dallas (ph: 214-265-7562 fax: 214-265-9462). In my experience working with her the last twelve years, she has proved to be reliable, competent, and the most competitive in price. Sura P.
