Finally, a listserv, the e-mail partyline described by Arthur Greenwald '75 in a recent Blue Print , is a very useful animal. Ours includes only about half the members, those who have e-mail, but has proven immensely valuable. It handles quick announcements, such as requests for help with projects or help with hosting and lling jobs, and it carries last-minute news and events. But that's just looking at it from the top down. The listserv is two-way communication.
Any member can post e-mail to the whole membership.
Students, for example, organize car pools on it. Every e-mail address that appears on a dues envelope goes on the listserv, and members are encouraged to log themselves on. All current students are on the listserv and are full members of the Club, gratis. To help accepted student applicants make an informed decision, we hold receptions mixing new or deciding students with our existing students. Here is communication at its best.
