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! -- Steve Cunningham SIGGRAPH director for publications
