PROG-PUBS is a mailing list for people interested in progressive
campus and/or student publications. This is a canned message
describing the list and some of the services associated with it.
PROG-PUBS was created to facilitate and encourage communication among
folks interested in and active with the "alternative student press"
movement. Participation in PROG-PUBS is confidential; your name will
not be broadcast indiscriminately around the network. In fact, you can
"listen in" to the traffic on the mailing list without anybody except
the list manager knowing who you are. If you post a message to PROG-PUBS,
of course, your login name will automatically be attached to it.
The manager of PROG-PUBS also maintains an on-line list of currently-
active progressive campus publications. To get a copy of this list, or
to add your publication to it, contact rjh1@midway.uchicago.edu.
Please limit your postings to PROG-PUBS to matters related to the
alternative student press. For more general discussion about activism,
try the Usenet newsgroups alt.activism and misc.activism.progressive, or
ACTIV-L, the "Activists' Mailing List". To subscribe to ACTIV-L, send
the one-line message "SUBSCRIBE ACTIV-L" (without the quotation marks)
to LISTSERV@UMCVMB (on BITNET).

The service addresses for PROG-PUBS, to which questions about the
mailing list itself and requests to be added to or deleted from it
should be directed, are:
Internet: Prog-Pubs-Request@fuggles.acc.Virginia.EDU
Prog-Pubs-Request%fuggles.acc.Virginia.EDU@uvaarpa.Virginia.EDU
BITNET: PPub-Req@VIRGINIA
UUCP: ...!uunet!virginia!prog-pubs-request
You may send mail to the entire list via one of these addresses:
Internet: Prog-Pubs@fuggles.acc.Virginia.EDU
Prog-Pubs%fuggles.acc.Virginia.EDU@uvaarpa.Virginia.EDU
BITNET: ProgPubs@VIRGINIA
UUCP: ...!uunet!virginia!prog-pubs
The shorter names for the BITNET addresses are for those BITNET sites
which have yet to install software (BSMTP) to cope with the 8-character
limit on the user part (and the host part, for that matter). If you're
on BITNET but you think you might be able to use one of the Internet
addresses, I think that would be preferable.
The alternate Internet addresses are for those sites which lack adequate
nameserver support. If your mail to fuggles bounces, try the other
address.
