The 48th annual ARSC Conference, hosted by the Southern Folklife Collection,

We have arranged for overflow rooms at the Quality Inn Chapel Hill, located
at 1740 North Fordham Blvd., just two blocks from the Sheraton. A block of
rooms (2 double beds or 1 king bed, non-smoking) has been held for ARSC at
the rate of $62 per night plus tax. For reservations, call (919) 968-3000
