I work for a non-profit organization as a webmaster. I am also a student
at George Mason University. The reason I am emailing to inform you and
your club about a project that will help the students of GMU to exchange
their books with other fellow students without any mediator.

The book exchange will be done at a web portal that we have developed at
our organization for the benefit of GMU students.

Yet the book exchange portal is completely free of charge. It is easy and
user-friendly. There is a tutorial to it where students can learn how to
buy or sell book.

The URL to the web site is: http://book.concerted.org/

Given this, we are asking you and your organization, Republic of China
Student Association, to support this event. All we need is publicity
through flyers and word of mouth. I think if every club works together
like a team to make this event possible, it will be a great benefit to the

accomplishment for our school as well as the student organizations. If you
decide to support us please feel free to download a sample flyer from the

3. University 300 Student Leader Course

Hi Everyone - please forward this on to any student leaders that you
work with. This semester Lynn Leavitt and I will once again be teaching

a one-credit section of University 300 specifically designed for
undergraduate students who currently hold positions of leadership on
Mason's campus. We had great success our first two semesters of
teaching the class and received very positive feedback from our
students.

- The objectives of the course are to identify attributes of effective
leaders, discuss individual leadership strengths and challenges, develop

skills that help students become more effective leaders, and encourage
communication between and mutual support among student leaders at Mason.

- Students are expected to participate in each class, complete several
"light" homework assignments, complete a written reflection on what they

learned over the semester, and participate in a final group project.

- Depending on the interests and needs of the student leaders enrolled
in the course, weekly topics may include discussions of current campus
issues, leadership skill-building sessions, articles that address
different leadership styles and models, and guest speakers who serve in
administrative and faculty roles on campus.

The course will be held on Mondays from 4:30 - 6:20 pm in Robinson
A206. The course registration number is 75956. Please have students
let Lynn or I know if they are interested in taking the class
(treeves@gmu.edu, lleavitt@gmu.edu). Thanks! :)

5. DebateWatch

Also want you to know that I have signed up George Mason University as a

host for a DebateWatch program on campus (New Century College is happy
to be
the lead sponsor for this activity). The process is that rooms will be
available for students, faculty and community members to meet together
to
watch the debates, then we will turn off the televisions and engage in
debate/discussion about the issues that were presented. I've done this
during a few presidential campaigns and it is a wonderful way to educate

people about the issues without the inherent spin control that happens
when
the media comments after the events. Students from my presidential
campaign
class will be helping to facilitate these discussions.

So, please let your students know about this. The debates are scheduled
on
the following dates (they will all begin at 9:00 pm ET and last for 90
minutes):

1) Pres debate 1- Sept 30 Site -- Univ of Miami, Coral Gables
Candidates seated, with moderator. Focus is primarily on domestic
policy.

2) Vice Pres debate - Oct. 5 Site -- Case Western Reserve Univ,
Cleveland,
OH
Candidates seated, with moderator.

3) Pres debate 2 - Oct. 8 Site -- Washington Univ in St. Louis
Town hall meeting format with undecided voters.

4) Pres Debate 3 -- Site: Ariz State Univ, Tempe
Candidates seated, with moderator. Focus primarily on foreign
policy.

If you'd like to know more about the presidential debate process, you
can
consult the Commission on Presidential debates website:
www.debates.org.

Also, if you'd like some good references on debate formats, styles,
communication issues, etc., I'd be happy to share some with you.

Thanks,

Janette Muir

5) Earn $50 for a One Time Chinese Language Test (Elizabeth Titrington
<etitrington@kadix.com>)

My name is Elizabeth Titrington and I work for Kadix Systems. We are a
consulting company that is looking for 80 native Chinese speakers to
participate in a translation test validation project. Test participants
will receive $50 for taking the test and can choose Simplified or
Traditional Chinese.

The project consists of administering a language test battery to native
speakers to see if the test accurately assesses language translation
ability.

There are a total of 4 tests in the validation test battery. The first
test consists of a multiple choice reading comprehension test. This test
has 20 questions, and is completely in Chinese. The next two tests are
translation tests. Both tests have four passages in Chinese that must be
translated into English. Examinees are allowed to use a dictionary on
the translation sections of the test battery (examinees must bring their
own dictionary). The last test is an English essay test. The test
battery can take up to four hours to complete, but most examinees finish
in approximately 3 hours.

All tests are given at our office in Arlington, VA. Examinees are paid
by check immediately upon completion of the test battery. If you are
interested in participating, please register at
http://linguascore.kadix.com

THIS IS NOT AN ONGOING POSITION. IT IS A ONE TIME EVENT.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Owner John Lin--from Taiwan to U.S.A. 30 years
ago--loves Taiwan so much that he decides to give
people from Taiwan deep discount to stay in his Best
Value Inn. The following paragraph is a copy of e-mail
from University of Florida Taiwanese Student
Association to its members.
Title:

3) Book Exchange

I work for a non-profit organization as a webmaster. I am also a student
at George Mason University. The reason I am emailing to inform you and
your club about a project that will help the students of GMU to exchange
their books with other fellow students without any mediator.

The book exchange will be done at a web portal that we have developed at
our organization for the benefit of GMU students.

Yet the book exchange portal is completely free of charge. It is easy and
user-friendly. There is a tutorial to it where students can learn how to
buy or sell book.

The URL to the web site is: http://book.concerted.org/

Given this, we are asking you and your organization, Republic of China
Student Association, to support this event. All we need is publicity
through flyers and word of mouth. I think if every club works together
like a team to make this event possible, it will be a great benefit to the
students at our university. Furthermore, that would be a major event and
accomplishment for our school as well as the student organizations. If you
decide to support us please feel free to download a sample flyer from the
following URL (Please make changes if necessary):

http://book.concerted.org/flyer.ppt

If you have any questions, please let me know by emailing me at
ceyda@concerted.org.

Yours Truly,

Ceyda Jacky

My name is Mason. I am studying the equivalent of second year Chinese. I
am interested in helping a Chinese student who needs help with their
classes and wants to learn more English. I have 6 years of experience in
tutoring. In return I would like their help in studying Chinese. The
student does not need any prior teaching experience. My questions will
be easy to answer by a native Chinese speaker/reader.

FYI-I am 25 years old. I graduated with a degree in political science
and communications. My job is going to relocate me to Shanghai in October.

Thanks for your help and consideration.

3) Asia Pacific Studies Seminar (<capec@gmu.edu>)

Asia Pacific Studies Seminar:
Date: Wed. 3/24/04
Time: 12.30pm to 2pm
Place: Johnson Center, Room H (Ground Floor), Fairfax Campus
Sponsors:
Center for Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (CAPEC)
Department for Classical and Modern Languages
Speaker: Prof. Li-Gang Liu, School of Public Policy (bio below)
Topic: A Structural and Macroeconomic Approach to Renminbi's Valuation by
Li-Gang Liu

Abstract:
Liu's presentation argues that a nominal appreciation of renminbi should
be eschewed because of Chinas existing trade structure, financial
fragility, and macroeconomic imbalances. Instead, the renminbis valuation
issue can be dealt with effectively using a structural and macroeconomic
approach by first reducing distortionary export subsidies and gradually
removing excessive fiscal incentives granted to FDI-founded firms in the
short run. In the medium term, the renminbis valuation issue can be
addressed via reflation to bring about a real appreciation: expansionary
fiscal policy with a focus on rural infrastructure investment accommodated
by monetary policy. However, the paper emphasizes that such investment
has to be incentive compatible by involving local government and private
initiatives aided by the development of Chinas capital market, in
particular, the local government or municipal bond market.

Li-Gang Liu's Bio:
Li-Gang Liu is an assistant professor of public policy at the School of
Public Policy (SPP), GMU. Before joining SPP of GMU, he was a research and
later a senior research fellow at the Asian Development Bank Institute
(ADBI) in Tokyo, Japan. ADBI is a think tank for ADB with a mission to
focus on medium and long-term development issues in the Asian region.
Prior to ADB, he was an economist at the Chief Economist Office, East
Asian and Pacific region, the World Bank. He also served as a research
associate at the Institute for International Economics before joining the
World Bank. His current research interests include financial
liberalization and sequencing in emerging market economies, fiscal
decentralization in China, credit rating and credit rating agencies,
trade and financial issues in China and East Asia. He holds a Ph.D. in
economics from the Johns Hopkins University.

2) 2 DVD-Rs of Mr. Shih, Ming-Te's Speech

The DVD production was not planned in the first place. For those who
attended to the speech could realize that some audience were inquiring
about the possibility of having a copy of Mr. Shih's speech. After the
approval from Mr. Shih at the time, we decided to provide this service
for the audience and ROCSA's members. If you are interested in having a
copy, please note the following points.
1. This documentation was shot and produced by amateurs. Small missing
parts (due to changing tape and battery), and movements you can find in
the film. Nevertheless, we think it is more than viewable.
2. There are 2 DVD-Rs (first half and second half) produced by two
persons, i.e., from different angles and different effects. An overlapping
part can be found from 2 DVD-Rs.
3. It is possible that old DVD players and drives can not recognize the
DVD-R format.
4. The copy right belongs to Mr. Shih, Ming-Te.
5. 2 DVD-Rs are charged for $20, the same price as we announced after the
speech. Deducted it from the costs, the rests will be donated as ROCSA's
fund. Thank you very much, Mr. Shih, for your generosity.
6. Please e-mail to Hong, Wei-Hong <whong2@gmu.edu> if you are interested
(with your mailing address).

3) 20 free financial check up (takes 30mins) as community services

1) An alumni event will be held in Taipei on March 10, 2004.

We highly appreciate Ms Yinglee Tseng who will be voluntarily coordinating
the first time George Mason University Taiwanese alumni meeting in Taipei.
It is a great opportunity that the GMU alumni in Taiwan can get together
sharing experiences and memories, and better yet, advertise GMU programs
in Taiwan since Mason is not particularly known by students in Taiwan.
Nevertheless, Ms Tseng needs your help to make the event flawless. Please
check her words below.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I am writing this mail for asking your assistance to provide the contact
information of GMU alumni in Taiwan. Kathy, the director of ELI of GMU, is
going to Taiwan during 3-6 of March for attending Advanced Education show
around Taiwan. She is organizing the first GMU Alumni dinner in Taipei on
10th of March. Unfortunately, the University and ROCSA do not have too
much information of our Taiwanese alumni. Therefore, we sincerely hope
you may provide the information of the alumni either graduated from GMU
or ELI in Taiwan for the success of the event. I am a current Ph.D.
student, voluntarily assisting to organize the event when I will be in
Taiwan during the same period. Please contact me if you have present
information (including local telephone number) I can reach our alumni as
soon as possible due to the time constraint. Your cordial assistance will
be highly appreciated. Thanks.

popular songs in Hip Hop rhythm (slower Disco). Only the latest 2000-2004
hits are played.

party is designed for dance blind, younger generation and everyone who
likes to get young.

your desire for fun. please dress casually because you should be prepared
to get sweat out.

of professions, including lawyer, doctor, accountant, pastor, engineer

Importance: High

Hi, Everyone:

Wondering where to go this weekend? Why don't you join our Home Group's field trip to the cornfield maze in Temple Hall Farm
Regional Park in Leesburg, VA. Every year, the Temple Hall Farm Regional Park's cornfield is transformed each Autumn into an elaborate maze.
Can you find your way out? Sounds exciting, isn't it?

It will be a good opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Fall season in an outdoor setting with kids, families and friends. So, our home group
gathering will not be held at our house this Saturday, instead, we are going to this field trip together :-)

What is a cornfield maze?

"Maize 2003"

Aerial Photo by Jack Nevitt

Temple Hall Farm Regional Park's 10 acre cornfield has been transformed into an elaborate maze.

The Regional Park Authority and maze designer Brett Herbst will challenge the wits of explorers seeking the one exit from this mind-boggling
puzzle, described by national maze creators as "a unique source of good farmin' fun for adults and children." Herbst designs more than 100
mazes worldwide each year.

In only 40 minutes, maze-goers can walk the correct path, although most wanderers require more than an hour to
travel through twists and turns. Two bridges over trails will provide observation points over the 10-foot tall corn in
the MAiZE.

Maze goers may answer posted trivia questions on various themes, correctly or incorrectly to move in the right or
wrong direction.

Location: Temple Hall Farm Regional Park in Leesburg, VA

Temple Hall Lane, Leesburg, VA
Information Line: 703-777-6732

http://www.nvrpa.org/maize.html

Directions:

Temple Hall Farm Regional Park is located 5 miles north of Leesburg. Take Route 15 North from Leesburg to right on Route 661 (Limestone
School Road). Go approximately one mile to the farm entrance on the left.

Fees: Group Rates - 15 people or more

Adults
$4.50
Kids (ages 6-11)
$3.00
Kids 5 and under
Free

Where to meet ? When ?

We are going to meet first at Jerry's house at 2:30 PM on Saturday (11/1/03). We can then have a car pool driving there. Please call me
at 703-802-9046 or email me for direction to get to our home (if you don't know how to get there). If you need a ride, please just let me know,
we will arrange a ride from Vienna Metro station. It will take about an hour to drive there, so if you decide to go to the park directly, we will
meet you there at the park at the ticket booth at 3:45 PM. We will need to collect the fees from you in advance, since only one person is
allowed to purchase the group tickets at the ticket entrance.

What to expect ?

We will spend at least 2 hours (4 - 6 pm ?) at the MAZE (depending on how smart we are to figure out the way out), so keep yourself warm
in a big jacket, prepare FLASH LIGHTS, since it will get dark after 5:00 PM. The park is open from 10 am to 10 PM, it will get more
exciting to wonder in the MAZE in the dark :-) Some water and snacks will be necessary if you have small children. After everyone is out of the
MAZE (and gets starved), we will go to a buffet place (will announce later) for dinner. So prepare a whole afternoon and evening fun with us.

How to join ?

Please call me or email me if you are interested in coming with us. We will need to have a head count by Friday midnight. So if you can let me
know if you are coming, and how many are coming with you, and respond to me by midnight Friday, that would be great. If you need a ride,
please let us know in advance.

See you on Saturday,
