[Imc] publication cross-pollenation?

[Paul Kotheimer]

howdy U-C IMC-sta's

Sherrin from the Bloomington-Normal (IL) POST-AMERIKAN is soliciting print
stories for their upcoming edition.  Perhaps something from our upcoming
first edition could serve double-duty (and be accompanied by an
announcement of U-C IMC's print debut??)

submit to pamerikanusa at netscape.net by July 20th.
