Fellow Nabokovians,

This message includes three items:

1) the election for vice president of the International
Nabokov Society,
2) a subscription form for future issues of NABOKOV
STUDIES, and
3) information for obtaining the two earlier issues of
the journal.

John Foster
President, International
Nabokov Society.

============================================================

ELECTION FOR VICE PRESIDENT
OF THE INTERNATIONAL NABOKOV SOCIETY

This is an important election, since the vice president
serves for two years, normally advances to the presidency
for two more years, and then joins the five-member Board of
Directors for ten years. Elections alternate between
candidates based in English and Russian programs; this
election falls in an "English" year.
Voters must be members of the International Nabokov
Society, and in addition to this announcement will soon
receive a ballot in the mail. This message via NABOKV-L is
meant to facilitate voting for those members on e-mail. If
you wish, you may select one of the two candidates whose
qualifications are described below, then send your choice to
the current INS president at the following e-mail address:

jfoster@gmu.edu

Votes must be received by December 19, 1995; results of the
election will be announced at our annual meeting at the MLA
Convention in Chicago.

We would also like to take this opportunity to get
suggestions for future paper sessions organized by the
Society. Please include your suggestions with your vote.
