	I know the Collegiate Soaring Association is in touch with a number of
school-associated clubs, but since physical communication is slow, we at the
Illini Glider Club do not find out about many CSA activities until well after
they were over.  I was just thinking that since many schools have net feeds,
that if a significant number of CSA associated clubs have members
who are "on the net", it might be an alternative channel of communication. 
This posting is an attempt to get in contact with these people.

	Below, I have included a list,from one of their pamphlets, of
"school associated" clubs. So, if people associated with such clubs would email
me with their address, I will attempt to compile a list to post, so that we may
have a better distribution system for CSA-type news.  Note that I am not at all
connected with the running of the CSA myself, in fact I am just now in the
process of trying to get my club more involved with CSA activities.  I am just
interested in their purpose: promotion or soaring and training of soaring
pilots among the young.  We _do_ need an influx of new blood if our sport is to
survive.

	For those who are interested in contacting the CSA for help in setting
up a club at your school, or for more information on contest rules, etc., the
address is:
			CSA
			3428 34th St.  NW
			Washington, DC  20008
