I've tried to post this several times.  Apparently there's some
problem with the news server.  Apologies to anyone who receives this
twice.

On October 19, 1992, the final of three debates among candidates for
President took place at the Wharton Center for the Performing Arts on
the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing. Previously we
announced that we had placed some documents relating to the event on
our Gopher at MSU; we now announce an audio transcript of the debate.
If you point your Gopher to gopher.msu.edu you will find:

-- General announcements on the debate for the MSU community
-- Coverage of the debate from MSU's student newspaper, the State News
-- The official transcript of the debate, from the Commission on
   Presidential debates
-- An audio transcript of the debate

All of these documents can be found in the "1992 Presidential Debate
at MSU" directory off the root menu of the server at gopher.msu.edu.
If you do not have Gopher client, but you do have Internet access, you
can type "telnet gopher.msu.edu" and log in as "gopher". No password
is required.

Note that in order to play the audio files, your Gopher client must
have sound capability (e.g. Next or Sun Gopher). Also be sure your
client is configured properly; for instance, Next users should be sure
the "play" program is in the "usr/local/bin" directory.

The digitized audio is stored on a separate Gopher server. In order to
avoid network overload we have limited the number of simultaneous
connections. In order for the sound files to be intelligible, the
client computer must be either local to MSU's campus network, or
connected over reasonably fast (56KB/sec or faster) links over the
Internet. The audio is stored in separate documents so that the
listener can select a response to a particular question for replay.

The State News has granted permission for other student newspapers to
republish their coverage of the debates, provided the stories carry
the original byline, and the State News is credited.

This experimental use of Gopher for multimedia documents may tax our
server or our network. We ask that listeners limit their use so that
other readers/listeners around the net will have an opportunity to
examine the documents.
