Carbondale is the birthplace of the MCCCC = Midwest Conference on Combinatorics Cryptography, and Computing. It was started in 1986 by the efforts of Walter Wallis, and, after a few meetings at SIUC, now moves around the Midwest at various institutions. Currently, Walter is developing a webpage devoted to his book on Designs.
