The following advertisement appears on page A82 of the Boston Globe's
Help Wanted section, Sunday, November 1, 1992.  I'm posting it in its
entirety because we've talked a lot about UMass's bid to join Division I
and Hockey East, and this is the most official news I've heard on the
subject.  However, I would be interested to hear of anyone who finds out
about the position through hockey-l and applies for it. :-)
 
Give credit to Heather for spotting this one for us. :-)
