Dear Arlis-ites: Like Susan, we are having insitutional resistance to
installing a color copier. It would be quite useful for those with
ammunititon and persuasive savvy to respond to the list or to add my email
address to your response. (<a href="/scripts/wa.exe?LOGON=A3%3Dind9802%26L%3DARLIS-L%26E%3D7BIT%26P%3D257999%26B%3D--%26T%3Dtext%252FplainTEXT%252FPLAIN%3B%2520charset%3DUS-ASCII%26pending%3D" target="_parent" >[log in to unmask]</a>)

Muchas gracias
