COLOPHON

However sporadically the Informer may
appear in your mail, it is still trying
valiantly to be a weekly publication,
at least during the Fall and Spring
terms. This newsletter is published by
Information Services, A118, local 2002,
and submissions are greeted with joy
and delight. Photos are generally taken
by Edna Sakata in MPC and prepared for
publication by Dave Sharrock. Printing
is done by Linda Givens and Dave Callow
in the Print Shop, and distribution is
handled by the Mail Room/Typing Pool.
Most everything else can be blamed on
Donna McMahon, but she'll deny it.
