The association's eighty-eighth annual meeting will be held 9-11 November 1990 in San Jose, California, hosted by San Jose State University. A local committee headed by John Engell of San Jose State University is in charge of preparations.

In keeping with its long tradition, unique among the regional MLA organizations, PAPC will again offer a program that features both Western and non-Western literatures and Greek and Latin. The 1990 program will include 31 general and 23 special sessions as well as special luncheons, a plenary session, and a forum on a topic selected by the program committee. The program will be mailed to all PAPC members whose dues were paid by 15 June 1990. Dues are $15 for regular members, $5 for students and emeriti, and $20 for joint memberships. By reciprocal agreement, NEMLA and PAPC members may participate in the meetings of both associations. For details on the program, write or call Caroline Locher, Office of Alumni Relations, Reed Coll., Portland, OR 97202-8199; 503 777-7589.
