The following is an extract from our "School News", and refers only to a post in Pure Mathematics, suppressing the others which are in Applied Maths or in Mathematical Statistics. It contains some junk I didn't get around to removing, in the way of printing instructiond, but seems to be legible. I'm sure the Registrar can supply the position-code that is not yet announced, if anyone applies without it to the given address. _______ The following positions will be advertised in the Australian newspaper on January 7, 1998.
