Subject: Black Grad Newsletter

Well members,
	I have finally finished my research presentation (Molecular
Cloning and Characterization of the Structural Gene Coding for the
Developmentally Regulated Lysosomal Enzyme alpha-Mannosidase in
Dictyostelium discoideum, for those who wish to know) and have
 time to send this post.
	The newsletter mailing list is slowly growing, and I have received
some wonderful transmissions from those showing interest.  As this
newsletter must derive its articles from the subscribers, it is now time
for us to get together some articles.  I wish f or the newsletter to have
the following format: 

Regular sections:

Main Topic
	This section will carry the main topic of each issue.  It will be
the meat of the newsletter. 

Graduations
	This area will include the graduation announcements (yeah!) of the
suscribers, including a short piece on their post-grad plans.  Subscribers
should feel free to include their personal reflections on their graduate
education in this area. 

Defenses
	This area will announce the dissertation defenses of the subscribers.

Orals
	This area will announce the passing of orals (or their equivalent)
for the subscribers. 

Licensure examinations
	This section is equivalent to the orals section for professional
students. 

Funding awards
	This ares will announce the awarding of money towards the
completion of graduate and/or professional degrees. 

Personal
	This is a free-for all section where subscribers can submit
personal materials relating to the graduate and professional school
experience

Looking Ahead
	This section will announce the subject for the next issue, and
will solicit articles for that (and other upcomming) issues.  Please note
that subscribers are the source for articles in ALL OF THE AREAS.  So
PLEASE remember that you can (and should) submit articles in any or all
of the areas.  Articles and suggestions NOT FITTING INTO THE ABOVE FORMAT
are ALWAYS welcome. 

Phone book
	This section will include a listing of the subscribers, with their
fields of study, instiutions, and e-mail addresses. 

Credits/Contacts
	This section will include how to submit articles to the
newsletter, and the rules of submission.  By the way, I wish to do LITTLE
OR NO editing of the submitted articles, so check your spelling, etc.,
beforehand.  I certainly will not edit the content - this newsletter is
for us, by us.  I only wish to help compile the data into an organized
format. 

LOOKING AHEAD:
	The MAIN TOPIC for the first issue is funding is FUNDING!!! 
Please submit a blurb about your funding source, and/or any other funding
source for which you are familiar.  The article should include the
point-of-contact, agency, award amounts, qualificati ons, length of award,
areas of applicability. 



*****
*****
So,
	Please send articles, according the guidelines above to me at any
of the following addresses, in decreasing order of preference: 

   g039161%humain@vtvm2.cc.vt.edu
   wb039161@reliant.comserc.howard.edu
   wbrown@access.digex.com

	As soon as I get enough articles to fill an issue, the first
edition will be published. 

	Peace, and success in your studies.

	Bill
