I am looking for other students, college level, who are interested in
the area of electronic publishing and information distribution.  I am
interested in starting a nation-wide student organization (staff) whose
goal would be to publish a monthly periodical, distributed via CD-ROM, 
whose goal would be to increase the exchange of information between the
students and faculty of as many colleges/universities as possible.  

Topics covered will range from local college news to job offerings, from
industry computer news from NEWSBYTES to student research papers, and
would of course include articles concentrating on student interests.  The
essence would be to target subjects that college-age students want to 
read about. 

MULTIMEDIA - I've done a lot of research into the field of multimedia and
try to keep up with the latest and greatest trends.  I believe that we
could effectively implement such sounds, graphics, animation, and digital
video (.avi files) very easily.

COMMUNICATION - How would such a scattered staff maintain efficient 
 communication???  Well...I believe you're using something similar to
 read this very note!  E-mail and ftp to central sites would allow for 
 larger groups at some schools to work on assigned sections.

THIS IS A ROUGH SKETCH - Remember, this is just an idea, made to be 
 modified, and ready to be shaped and molded.  I hope that some of you
 out there are creative enough and ambitious enough to be interested.
 If so, write me a note via E-mail.  DO NOT RESPOND VIA USENET!!!
