Subject: cemetery demography

For those who are interested, here's the current URL for a cemetery
demography webpage that contains a number of student-collected data sets.
Anyone who has referred to it before needs to update the link.

This project began with the support of the Ecol. Soc. Am. Education Section
and with the goal of having ecology students from different institutions
share data on a common investigation (News of the ESA Education Section
3(2):7 [Oct, 1992] and 7(2):1 [Fall, 1996]).  Having students use
demographic data sets from different geographic locations has worked well.
I've also tried having my students communicate via email with ecology
students elsewhere about this exercise, though that has been logistically
very challenging.

I hope some of you find this useful.
