THE PACIFIC UNIVERSITY NORTHWEST REGIONAL
CONFERENCE FOR UNDERGRADUATE PHILOSOPHERS

Friday-Sunday
March 31 - April 2, 2000

Pacific University
Forest Grove
Oregon

The Philosophy Club of Pacific University invites all undergraduate
philosophers to submit a paper for the conference.  The purpose of this
conference, which is initiated and organized by students, is to provide a
forum for the presentation of philosophical work of undergraduates to their
peers.

Papers are required to be of philosophical content, but there are no
specific restrictions on subject matter within the arena of philosophical
discussion itself.  We suggest that papers range between eight and twelve
pages so that they contain enough material to fill a twenty- to
thirty-minute presentation. Group papers are also welcome.  Submissions
must be received on or before February 14, 2000 and individuals whose
papers have been accepted will be notified by February 29, 2000.  Please
indicate on the supplied form if you are willing to chair a session or
provide commentary on someone else's paper in the event that you are not
selected to present.

An introductory dinner will be provided Friday evening at 7:00 pm, to
welcome those who have registered for the conference.  Presentations will
begin mid-morning after breakfast on Saturday, break for lunch, and adjourn
at approximately 6:00 pm.  In the evening, students are encouraged to
continue the conference informally as they explore Forest Grove; Portland
is also accessible via public transportation (bus and light rail).  The
same schedule will be followed on Sunday with the conference officially
concluding at 1:00 pm.

We encourage those attending the conference to pre-register on or before
March 12, 2000 for a fee of $15.  It is also possible to register at the
conference for the fee of $18.  Since we provide dinner on Friday evening,
breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, and lunch on Saturday, the registration
fees help to defray the costs of the meals.
