<BODY><P>Students are definitely invited to this function but I haven't seen any student numbers in the rsvps yet. This only costs $8, is in a central location (Alexander Library building which is very close to Perth train station), is in the early evening (5:30 to about 7pm), and it's a good networking opportunity with senior members of the profession who might need to employ students or recent graduates in the foreseeable future. Not to mention the fact that the Sharr Medal is a prestigious award and there will be cake to celebrate ALIA's birthday. </P>
