Greetings pals --

Just got a letter from the DAN coordinator at ASA.  I'll quote from it in
part:

     ...have your request all in order...a sign is being made to read:
     SOCGRAD/Grad Student Computer Network.  In order to dress up your
     sign, I have chosen the colors, red, white and blue.  Hoping this
     meets with your approval!

There's some further material about them sending me a statement (read
"invoice") in the near future, but I think I'll deal with that problem when it
arises.

I've also looked into name tag stickers or ribbons or some such, but it looked
like more trouble than I'm up to engaging in at the moment (what with doing
the layout for my "business" cards, fixing bicycles, painting my floor and,
oh yes, doing interviews).  Just for fun, though, what do you think about
attaching, say, a little orange circle to our nametags?  No words, not big,
just a little mysterious sign that all those clever sociologists who aren't
on this list will wonder what it means. We'll all recognize those among us who
are "regulars," but this will also let the silent majority indicate their
affiliation.  I'll bring some along if we're into it....  As Arlo Guthrie
(American folksinger, mid to late 20th century) once said, "...and if four of
you do it, they'll think it's a movement...."

                                             Cheers,
                                                    Dan
