You talked about starting a CD-ROM student publication, which should be a lot
of fun for yourself and others.  But don't overlook the possibility of an
online publication, which saves you the duplication costs of the CD-ROMs
(yes, I know they're pretty, but they're still $2 - $3 to produce, even if
you do all the file preparations...) and lets people get them from around the
world more quickly than a mailing.  Investigate whether DU could get enough
online storage so you could support anonymous ftp and an e-mail server for
the ~600 MB you'll have, and then rotate the contents of that disk space for
your new editions.

I wish I could tell you exactly the pluses and minuses involved with this kind
of activity, but come back in six months -- ACM SIGGRAPH will be putting out an
online experimental special issue of _Computer Graphics_ next May, and I think
we'll learn a lot from the process.

Have fun, and good luck!
