The J/DM Newsletter welcomes submissions from individuals and groups. However, we do not publish substantive papers. Book reviews will be published. If you are interested in reviewing books and related materials, please write to the editor.
There are few ground rules for submissions. The best way to send your contribution is via EMAIL or in an ASCII file on a 3.5" or 5.25" diskette. If you must send hard-copy (e.g., if you are using special graphics or do not have computer access), please submit camera-ready copy. This means that the copy should be typed single-spaced on white 8« by 11 paper. If possible, use a carbon or film ribbon. Please mail flat -- do not fold.
Advertising Rates: Advertising can be submitted to the editor. Inclusion of the ad and the space given to the ad is at the editor's discretion. The current charge is $75 per page to cover production and mailing costs. Contact Shawn Curley for details. Alternatively, you can use--
Mailing Labels: Some readers may wish to send reprint lists or other material to people listed in the directory. The current charge is $100 for a set of labels. Contact Irwin Levin for details.
Address corrections: Please check your mailing label carefully. Because the J/DM Newsletter is usually sent by bulk mail, copies with incorrect addresses or which are otherwise undeliverable are neither forwarded nor returned.

Lobbying Efforts
Some years ago, the Judgment and Decision Making Society decided to join the Federation to help ensure funding in the behavioral and social sciences. We currently pay the Federation $10 per regular US member (i.e., not including students and non- US members) for lobbying efforts. Federation dues are now going up to $11 per regular US member, an amount that is more than half of our annual society dues ($20)! For some time, a number of JDM members have been voicing their concerns about the Federation and discussing alternative uses for our lobbying dollars. Because of these concerns and the recent increase in Federation dues, the JDM Board has been exploring other possibilities. One idea that we have had is to support the lobbying efforts of APS, a group that is currently not a member of the Federation, rather than supporting the Federation, at least on a trial basis. The Board supports this idea of switching to APS and paying a reduced rate. We would like to hear your views on this subject.
Unfortunately, we do not feel we can give brief summaries of the pros and cons of these alternatives because the issues are rather complex. If you are interested, we will send you materials from both the Federation and APS. Please send requests for information and/or your opinions about lobbying to Shawn Curley, Editor of the Newsletter (addresses on p. 2), and he will forward them to the JDM Board. We look forward to hearing from you!
In the August 1996 issue of ORMS Today, a publication of INFORMS, Dennis Buede surveyed a number of decision analysis software packages. This is the third survey that Dennis has done for the journal. In the article, Dennis presents information for 29 titles of decision analysis software. (The article is NOT a review.) Those who are interested but are not members of INFORMS might contact Dennis who is a member of the J/DM Society. His address: Dennis M. Buede, Department of Systems Engineering, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22091, <dbuede@mason1.gmu.edu>.
Note that the first 11" x 17" page was placed in the directory upside down. Thus, the first two pages should appear in the back of the directory, and the last two pages should go to the front of the directory. My apologies for the inconvenience of the error.
The Society for Judgment and Decision Making Highlights of the Upcoming 1996 Meeting Chicago Hyatt Regency, November 2-4, 1996
(Please remember that all information provided is tentative and subject to change.)
This year's meeting promises to be exciting, informative, and of great value to those interested in all kinds of issues associated with judgment and decision making. To catch all the action, you may want to arrive as early as Friday evening since the Psychonomic Society sessions on judgment and decision making begin promptly at 8:00 am Saturday morning. (Abstracts of the papers at these sessions were not available in time for this issue; they will be included in the next issue of the JDM Newsletter.)
Also, don't forget to sign up for this year's SOCIAL EVENT. We'll be heading for the famous Second City Comedy Club on Saturday night for the 8:00 pm show!
Here are some highlights from this year's program:
VERNON SMITH

HONORING THE INFLUENCE OF AMOS TVERSKY: A MEMORIAM BY HIS STUDENTS
Symposium organized by Valerie Reyna and Baruch Fischhoff
One of the many ways in which Amos Tversky profoundly influenced our field was through his mentoring of students. In this symposium, we honor the memory of Amos Tversky by describing this influence, while highlighting different aspects of Amos's life and work.

TEACHING SYMPOSIUM
Organizers: Jay Russo & Paul Schoemaker
How does teaching JDM to managers differ from teaching
it to college students? Managers care about skills not
credentials; they want "take aways" with immediate value;
and they learn better from activities than from lectures.
This session will illustrate an activity-based teaching
format.

Organizer: Barb DeFilippo
Wondering what you're going to do after the dissertation? Come talk to recent and not-so-recent graduates about the transitions into and opportunities in research, government, and business, as well as academia. It's a great opportunity to meet other graduate students as well!

Workshop
"Modern" people have been taught to despise their feelings and put all their faith in their brain when making decisions. On the other hand, uncontrolled emotions can be a major source of irrational behavior. The "optimal" mix of intuition, emotions and rationality may cancel out the worst features of each and enhance the constructive energies of the others, to provide us with a balanced presentation of reality and of ourselves.
This is the motto of a workshop "Intuition, Emotions and Rationality: The Psychology and Art of Decision Making" which will be held at the Esalen Institute, Big Sur, California on April 27 - May 2, 1997. The workshop is composed of exercises, meditations, discussions and some theory sessions, and will be conducted by Yossi Yassour from the Ruppin Institute in Israel. <academic@ruppin.ac.il>
