JHMI Choral Society Programs
All singers are invited to join the JHMI Choral Society's

Hall, East Baltimore. Auditions for soloists for
performances of the Messiah, on Dec. 1 and 4, are scheduled
during rehearsal hours on Oct. 11.
The Choral Society also needs orchestral musicians for
both the Messiah and its sing-along concerts. The Messiah
orchestra specifically calls for violins, violas, cellos,
bass, bassoon, oboes, trumpets and timpani. The sing-along
concerts can accommodate all instruments.

JHMICS@yahoo.com, or call the Office of Cultural
Affairs, 410-955-3363.
Statistics Research Funding
The Acheson J. Duncan Fund for the Advancement of Research
in Statistics requests proposals for small grants to
support research projects in statistics, probability and
stochastic processes. The fund was created in 1997 by an
endowment established by professor emeritus Acheson Duncan
at the time of his death. Duncan was a pioneer in research
and application of quality control and industrial
statistics.
Faculty and students throughout the university are
eligible to apply for funding for collaborative projects
with a member of the faculty in the Applied Mathematics and
Statistics Department. Items funded might include travel to
research conferences and workshops, computer equipment and
software, matching funds for grant proposals, short-term
visits of collaborators to Hopkins, interdepartmental
seminars, partial support for research assistants and seed
money for new research. Most grants will be less than
$5,000.
Proposals should be brief, preferably no more than
three single-sided pages; provide itemized expense
estimates; and be signed by each investigator. Proposals
may be submitted at any time to committee chair John C.
Wierman, Applied Mathematics and Statistics Department, 302
Whitehead Hall.

Step aerobics, yoga, muscle conditioning, kickboxing
and more are offered in drop-in classes. Passes for
