MSU Physics & Astronomy Colloquia
Spring Semester (January-April) 1996
MSU Physics & Astronomy Colloquia are held in the main lecture hall (Room 118) of the Physics-Astronomy Building on the
Michigan State University campus
at 4:10 pm on Tuesdays of Fall and Spring Semesters.
Refreshments are available in the lounge outside Room 224 at 3:45 pm.
Persons listed as "Host" may be contacted to arrange for meetings with non-local speakers (once their travel arrangements and
schedules have been finalized). The Spring 1996 Colloquium Organizer is Martin Berz, and the
information contact person is Lorie Neuman.
Special accommodations may be requested by calling the Physics & Astronomy Department at (517) 353-5180 two weeks in
