	I have been playing with the idea of incorporating the Penn
insignia into our cover sheets as well, and after considering all of
the possibilities, I decided that the simplest way to go was to use
Metafont to get a raster version of the thing, or at least parts of it.
The main element of the Penn insignia is a shield with some stripes and
circles, all of which are easy to produce geometrically with PostScript,
but it also contains a fish and two books, which are not. My final plan
is to produce the fish and the books with Metafont, and use them as raw
rasters in a geometrically described shield.
	Of course, since I have neither Metafont nor a PostScript printer 
on my Vax at the moment, this is a completely untried solution.
