Director's Comments on 1970 AERA Presession: Applied Linear Regression Analysis in Educational Research

Abstract

It is suggested that both the announcement of the Presessions and
the application forms be published in the first AERA Researcher to be
distributed after 1 September. The application forms should be submitted
by 1 December so that the applicants could know at an early time whether
or not they have been accepted. Budget planning is important to many
people. An early application and acceptance would allow Presession directors to consider advanced mailing of study materials so that more efficient use could be made of the time at the AERA Presession.

A total of 50 applications were received. All applicants were
accepted. Of the 50 applicants who were accepted 4 of them notified the
director that they would not be able to attend. The remaining 46 attended
the Presession.

The Leamington Hotel was most cooperative in providing good lighting
and other arrangements for the meeting rooms. The arrangements for the
participants were just right; however, if sixty participants would have
attended, the room would have been crowded.
