                   SOUND NEWS AND ARTS magazine

"What is it, man?"
        
     Sound is an "alternative" news and entertainment source distributed
monthly in the Omaha (Nebraska, USA) area. The focus is on issues and
personalities that interest the open-minded youth-ish peoples of the
"global community", primarily with a local-area slant. SOUND reaches most
of the Omaha and surrounding areas in the form of a free newspaper available
at most relevant places around town. Only recently, starting with issue
#4 in June of 1992, has it become available over the network via email
and GOPHER server.  SOUND has an ever-growing "staff" of artists and
writers because it is constantly open to new voices and fresh faces...be
they foreign or domestic.

"How do I get it?"

     Welp...it's as easy as emailing us with your request.  All email
should be directed to the Internet address: ed@odin.unomaha.edu.  You'll
have a few options...
 
You can request:
             -a table of contents for the current issue
             -a specific section of the current issue  
                (arts, commentary, features, music)
             -the entire text of the current issue
             -the entire text of a back issue      
                (#4/June'92 being the first net-issue)
             -the table of contents for all net-issues so far
                (so as to know which back issues to order!)

     No special subject lines or anything...we handle all email
personally.

OR...you can GOPHER to odin.unomaha.edu and read it from there.  You'll
have to have a GOPHER client on your end, of course.  More info on
GOPHER's can be found in the ALT.GOPHER newsgroup.  You can also TELNET
to an "anonymous gopher server" at the address 134.84.132.4 (login as
GOPHER).

The GOPHER version of SOUND has a few more articles than the email and
print versions and is constantly in a state of change.  New articles
are added frequently, old articles deleted.  Not to mention the
convenience of having the articles "individually wrapped" so you can
read only the ones you want.  

"Submissions?"

     We will also take poetry, story, article, commentary, letters to
Saucy Bubbles advice column, and any other text submissions through
email.  Send those to: ed@odin.unomaha.edu.  Be sure to include
your name, email and snailmail addresses (so we can send you a print
copy if you're published), and any other stipulations you may have.  You
keep all rights to your material.
     To submit artwork via GIF would be interesting, but you can just
send copies of your works to: SOUND/PO Box 31104/Omaha,NE  68132
(you may also get a print copy of the SOUND by sending a large SASE with
appropriate postage to that address)

"Why did you post to this newsgroup?"

     We felt that the readers here would be interested in perusing the
SOUND, submitting writings or artwork, or both.  We sensed high
creative and interest flow among the posters to this group...so we went
for it and crossposted here.  We apologise for any inconvenience.
