Errata

Due to erroneous information supplied to Tech Talk, a June 6 Tech Talk article on the Ilona Karmel Writing Prizes included incorrect figures. The article should have stated that the winners were chosen from 130 entries by 75 students (27 prizes).

An article in the same issue of Tech Talk about Professor Ellen Harris singing the national anthem incorrectly noted that Happy Trails was Gene Autry's theme song. It was in fact Roy Rogers' theme song.

A version of this article appeared in MIT Tech Talk on June 13, 2001.
