The problem with setting up a newsgroup is that you need some provider
to agree to be the source/carrier of the newsgroup.  I doubt that UMBC
would be willing to support such a group.  You'd need to find a real
internet provider that allows that direct access to open newsfeed or 
maybe one of the public newsfeed sources could be convinced to carry 
your group.  Probably no provider outside Maryland would consider 
carrying a balt.personals group and most ISPs charge a fee to carry a
group.  Good Luck!
