sorry for interrupting, but I can assure you that you would enjoy visiting
 Australia...Women have all the rights that men have, more in fact because the
powers that be class women as a disadvantaged group!  The average male treats
his feamale counterpart pretty well so don't worry on that score....I'm a

I was wondering if anyone here works on there schools newspaper? the reason I
ask is that I am curiouse about Censorship of students and also trading
papers. I have been working on ours(Viking Vanguard of Puyallup High School of 
Puyallup Washington, USA) for 3 years. We have won many awards, and have
worked for student rights. One thing I am hoping to work on this year is the
Erotic Music Bill in our state. I believe it is too much for the state to
decide what we can and can't listen to. We have to right to print about
anything as long as we don't break the law, but we don't have the right to
listen to some types of music? 
 I am planning on a career in teaching Journalism and English in a secondary
school. 
 I would like to hear any type of censorship you have encountered at your
school, and would like to answer any questions you might have.

Hi Carol...I am teaching full time this year and have a grade seven class 
for a home room  and all subjects except math, music, and phed. I would 
prefer to have them for math too, but the teacher   next  door needs someone 
to do his French. Anyway, I went to one of the best workshops ever on reading 
and writing, and found a great source for some very good books at the k-2,3 
level, and for anyone who like reading those books. The workshop was 
organized by a publisher from New York who is importing  the REady to Read 
series from New Zealand. THIS IS NOT A READING PROGRAM, but a carefully 
chosen series of 56 of the most delightful books chosen from hundreds of 
stories and published by the NZ dept of ed. The workshop used the books only 
as a tool to show us the methodology used by NZ primary teachers to teach 
reading and writing. They have been at a literature based process writing 
approach for a long time and seem to have arrived where we want to go. I'll 
drop the stuff in the mail. Of special interest is their method of record 
keeping for reading progress.

     Thanks for setting me straight.  I'd love to visit sometime.  I teach fourth grade in Helena, Montana, in the US.  What do you teach?  I'd love to trade news with you, too.  Maybe if our students are close enough in age they could communicate, too.  We don't have a modem in our classroom, but we do in the library, so it's not too inconvenient.  Do you have computers in your school or do you work on one at home??

I'm a software developer with a reasonably popular shareware terminal
emulator on the NeXT computer.  In the past 6 months or so, my
program's been becoming more popular overseas.  Things have worked
out fine, since I've been receiving payment in funds drawn on US
banks.

This week, I received a check drawn on a German bank.  So, I take
it down to Norwest (where I've an account) and try to deposit it.
They want a $35 collection fee.  The check's only $40!

So, I'm left with a $5 piece of wallpaper.  Anything I can do with
it?  Any good general solutions for this problem?  I plan to receive
more checks from Europe in the future, so this sort of puts me in
a bad way ...

I've checked into a couple things.  Wire transfers might be alright.
But, I note that Norwest would want $25 from me to make a wire
transfer to a foreign land.  This just puts the problem on somebody
else's shoulders!  I'd rather have a solution which would bring
the costs down to the $10 area, which I'd be happy to split with
the customer.

I suppose I could always find a German distributor.  That might
work best.  But, could the German distributor accept checks from
somewhere else - like Sweden?  Sigh ...

Thanks,

I've heard that they change their format like revolving doors, too.

What is sucessful?  Audience share?  Look at the ratings for all the
stations, and you'll soon see that there is no way that all the stations out
there can have 8%.  Success isn't measured only in mass market appeal.  There
are a lot of (say) computer companies out there that aren't MicroSoft, Apple,
or IBM, that are doing just fine.

I talked to one of the DJ's too, and I mentioned how my bro predicted a
slaughter when 104 goes against 102, and he said that when their company had
decided to switch to a country format, they tried to buy commercial time for
some big televised country music thing, and they found that 102 had already
bought all the time.  

102 has a good signal, is well established, puts money into promos, and is
a decent country station (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong).  104 WILL get
killed in a head-to-head competition with 102.  

Oh, and the DJ also said that yes, they are making money with the Modern Rock
format.  He also said that all the DJ's will be out on the street after the
format change.  I asked him what the 'Mad' in 'Mad' Mike stood for, and he
told me that it's not 'Angry' Michael, and not 'Clinicly Insane' Mikey, but
'Bizarre' Miguel.  Just so that's cleared up.

As the fellow who followed-up Loren's meeting announcement indicated, we
indeed will have problems parking near our Meeting site in the St. Paul
campus.

I am mailing and posting this on behalf of Loren.

I called the University Parking Services (626-7275), and told them about our
monthly meeting, and that we use the metered lot next to the Vet. Sci.
building.  I was told that, indeed, many streets around the campus WILL be
closed, and that the lot will be unavailable to us.  An alternate parking
lot was suggested:

	SC175 at Cleveland and Dudley, $1.00

Of course, it will be first-come, first-served with State Fair goers.

The officers will be meeting at the Ground Round at 6:00.  It was suggested
that we could all meet there prior to the main meeting and maybe arrange
car-pooling down to the campus from there.  I don't imagine the Ground Round
will look kindly at us all leaving our cars there, but perhaps right next
door at HarMar Mall would work out.  Loren is attempting to reach the
officers and the speaker by telephone this afternoon.

In the discussion with Loren, it was decided that, because of the effect of
the parking/traffic situation on attendance, issues relating to changes of
the constitution and by-laws will be deferred to the October meeting.

I have a spare photocopier that I would like to dispose of.  I purchased it
intending to pull some parts from it for my other copier, but ended up not
doing so.  Although functional, it does need a significant amount of work to
put it in "prime" condition.  I just had a copier tech do a full checkout on
it, and have the notes available on what needs to be done.  Basically, he
says it needs a full preventative maintenance call (rollers, developer,
etc.) plus a new drum and blades (due to lines on the drum).  His estimate was
approximately $600 in total to do this, as I recall.  The PM cycle is once every
60,000 copies, and he says it normally runs a bit over $200 for a PM call.

Specifications are:

Harris/3M 6040 DF (also sold as Toshiba BD-8412) with optional duplexer and
large-capacity paper tray

Suggested retail as configured:  $9715.00

Multicopy speed:           40 copies per minute
Maximum original size:     11 x 17
Maximum copy size:         11 x 17
Paper feed:                Triple cassette (250 sheet each)
			   This unit includes a large capacity feeder as the
			   third cassette, which holds 1500 sheets
Manual bypass:             Stack of 25
Document feed:             Manual or Automatic
Reduction/enlargement:     65% to 154% in 1% increments, plus four standard
			   presets
Rated monthly copy volume: 1 to 50,000
Color:                     Standard plus selectable alternate color
			   (blue/brown/red)
Duplexing:                 Manual or Automatic 1:2

Dimensions:		   20 x 31-3/4 x 23-1/2 inches (tabletop)
Weight:                    194 lbs.
Power:                     Standard 120v AC (does NOT require a special line)

Other features:            Auto paper selection
			   Automatic exposure (with override)
			   Book copy
			   Image shift
			   Border erase
			   Image overlay
			   Pause/interrupt

I am selling it for $350, operable but needing work as mentioned above.  I
would prefer to keep it, and would do so if I had the space.  Unfortunately,
unless I get rid of it and many other items I will not have space for my car
in the garage this winter.  And I hate the cold...   :-)

For the $350 you get the copier, the stand, and the results of the $95
service call I just paid to have it checked out.  Such a deal...

If you are interested in it, give me a call at 475-1527.  If you know of
someone else who might have a use for it, have them call!

Thanks!

I'm  not a UUM member, but I work on St. Paul Campus, and these directions
will probably not work during the State Fair (ie, now).  Traffic is a mess,
the University closes many campus entrances after normal work hours (in
particular, it closes the Gortner entrance), and posts a guard at the one
entrance it leaves open (I had to show my ID to get in two nights ago).
Does UUM have a special arrangement with parking services or the campus
police to be admitted?

Sorry to play grinch, but I though you might prefer a warning.

Our sporadic newsfeed seems to have dropped Jewelbox 1.0 parts 01-03

preThanks.
