Abstracts must be typed double-spaced with 1" margins. No fonts larger than 12 point
are to be used. Abstracts should be 1-1/2 to 2 pages in length. Neatness (spelling
grammar, appearance) counts. Abstracts must be stapled. Do not use a cover sheet.
Any variation from the above format will result in loss of points. Abstracts may be
graded by for grammar and spelling.
