OITM: Where We Are At

This past summer the OITM staff went
through a reshuffling process. Old mem-
bers left and new people joined. We reor-
ganized and started working on long and
short term goals for the paper. One of our
long term goals is to purchase our own
computer equipment in order to be a self
sufficient newspaper. The major sticking
point to achieving that goal is the need for
money. (Yes, this is a plea for your
money...) Though we are looking into the
possibility of getting a grant, that process
takes a long time. We need your help with
putting out the paper for the next few
months. The costs of compiling, printing
and mailing drain OlTM’s wallet every

month.Our low subscription covers the
cost of the invidual subscription mailing
for an entire year. Raising the subscription
rate would put it out of range for those
people with low incomes. And if we take in
too much advertising there won’t be
enough space for articles. So, if you can
donate any amount of money, it would be
greatly appreciated. Please make checks or
money orders payable to:
Out in the Mountains or OITM

For those of you who can’t afford to
donate money but want to help, you can
become involved directly in the paper._
(Yes, this is a plea for your body...) Our
short term plans include the need for more
people. We also need and encourage ideas
to make OITM abetterpaper. Lastlune we
lost access to typing facilities that are
critical to the papers survival. September’s
issue was made possible through the hard
work and scrambling to find temporary
typing facilities. We are asking if anyone
knows of facilities in the Burlington area
with approximately 3-4 IBM or AT&T
compatible personal computers and a
printer that can be made available to OITM
for typing to please let us know. Inquiries,
infonnation and/or donations can be sent
