C. Local transportation in Berkeley:
====================================
Remember that on Friday the conference will be at MSRI, and on 
Saturday and Sunday the conference will be in Soda Hall on the
U.C. Berkeley campus.

  1. Getting to MSRI:
  ===================
  The easiest ways to get to MSRI are by the Hill shuttle bus and
  by car.
   
    a. By shuttle:
    ==============
    A shuttle (one way fare = 25 cents) makes a round trip 
    between MSRI and the Hearst Mining Circle (just east of
    Evans Hall, where the U.C. Berkeley math department is
    housed).  The departure times are listed below.  The trip
    takes about 15 minutes. 
    
    Other shuttles can take you from various points around 
    campus to the Mining Circle, if you prefer not to walk
    there from your hotel or from the BART station.  See 
    
    http://public-safety.berkeley.edu/p&t/transit/pages/daytime.html
  
    for more information.

     b. By car:
     ==========
     First, consult the maps available at
     
     http://www.msri.org/info/directions/maps.html
     
     To drive to MSRI, make your way to Gayley Road (on the eastern 
     edge of the U.C. Berkeley campus).  Turn onto Rimway Road, which
     intersects Gayley Road about midway between the northern and
     southern boundaries of campus.  Take the first left onto
     Centennial Drive (which goes away from the Memorial stadium). 
     Signs now indicate the direction of MSRI.  Centennial Drive 
     goes up up up, past the U.C. Botanical Garden, Lawrence Berkeley
     National Labs, and the Lawrence Hall of Science.  Past the
     Lawrence Hall of Science the road curves right and up.  MSRI's 
     parking spaces are in the uppermost two rows of the parking lots
     after this curve.  Please park there and walk the 94 steps up to
     the MSRI building.  Pick up a parking permit in the lobby, and 
     then walk back down the 94 steps to place the permit in your 
     car.

  2. Getting to Soda Hall
  =======================
  
  A U.C. Berkeley campus map is available at
  
  http://www.berkeley.edu/map/

  Soda Hall is on the northern edge of campus, on Hearst Ave.
  between Euclid Ave. and LeRoy Ave.  The doors to Soda Hall
  are locked on weekends.  Before the talks and during breaks
  we will have someone at the door to let registered participants
  into the building, but if you arrive during a talk you might
  have to wait until the next break to get into the building.
