HackFest: West '99 once again features this special programming contest. Whether you attend as a participant or an interested observer you're sure to enjoy this unique event!

While you're there, don't forget to thank Eric Shepherd for all the work he did to make HackFest '99 possible!

Special thanks to Mike Westerfield (ByteWorks), Max Jones (JuiceAGS), Tony Diaz (Alltech Electronics), and Earl Childers (MyeSource, formerly Seven Hills Software) for their generous prize contributions.

The ADD^^ I1 Spirit: This is always a very special part of KansasFest andeveryone attending keeps this spirit alive by adding something to our celebration of the computer and the attitude it generated. A special thanks to all for your contributions this year and every year!

No fireworks or explosives of any kind, including dq-ice bombs will be allowed - NO EXCEPTION. Anyone using any sort of firework or explosive will be expelled from KansasFest and their reg- istration will be forfeited.

. KansasFest attendees are not welcome on dorm floors, rooms, or other areas that are being used by other conferences. Please keep to the areas assigned to KansasFest and please don't wander about Avila without reason.

Because of state fire regulations (not to mention common sense and respect for other people), there will be no commandeering of elevators for any reason. AH elevators are to remain operating at all times! This is also grounds for explusion from KansasFest

Please note that Avila is a "dry" (alcohol-free) campus.

NO RUNNING PHONE LINES!!! This is very impor- tant! You may use the phone jacks in the dorm rooms, or in theTelecom Room if it is not currently being used for a conference. However, you may NOT run your own phone lines for any reason without expressed permission from a KansasFest staff member. Avila is VERY picky about this because people have taken advantage of their good nature in the past.

There will be no smoking inany building at Avila College except for dorm rooms that have been designated as smoking rooms.

There should be no excessive noise after 10PM. Remem- ber that other conferences with members who may keep regular hours will be at Avila at the same time as KansasFesL Since most of us are night owls, we will have to keep things down after normal sleeping hours.

Finally, and this is worth repeating, please respect other conferences that are being heldat Avilaat the same time as KansasFest! This includes the noise nde and the "Don't bug other conferences" rule above, as well as walking in on their events and accosting their mem- bers.

As We Beain The entire KansasFest staff would like to wish you the VERY best of times at our little get-together. We hope that KansasFest '99 will leave you with many happy memories and some new friends. And, of course: Apple II Forever!
