These are the six main points that we're looking at toward
revitalizing the public i.

- Cutting down the number of issues
- More Internet articles
- Direct mailing 
- More people
   - No reports from Belden on Bob McChesney and Pauline
on the direct mailings to progressive groups
- Restructuring
   - Sandra proposes teams of 5 or 6 editors for  
      each issue
   - Rotating editor chairs

Darrin is slowly finetuning the printing process.

What is on the Newswire that's locally produced will
definitely be pulled off the wire.  

Brent doesn't want to move from local to national forces.


Distribution:

Campus "B' and Downtown Urbana "D" remaining
- hashing routes out after the meeting

Restructuring:

Consensus to keep all meetings

Perhaps the schedule could go November, December/January
issues?

Rotating teams aren't feasible at the present time
 - There's no B-team of editors

The Pipeline:

Athen Chilton - living a different kind of life
Newspoetry + A History of Newspoetry
Relations between Firestone and United Steelworkers 713
in Decatur
Rose Marcak
Alloy Engineering lawsuit - let's see what Pauline has
on this

meeting ends with vigorous debate instigated by Laurie
