Hi Pledges,

If you haven't yet, you might want to follow the yellow block wall
into the depths of the back APOffice, and discover the Chapter's cache
of 19th Century graphic arts technology - the APOster Letterpress
Print Shop.

Learning to print with the baby and/or papa presses in the Shop is a
Chapter Skill.

* If you are interested in learning to use the Press Shop, please add
  yourself to the Moira/Athena mailing list:

  apo-printshop-wants-training

  If you have trouble doing this, ask me for help, or
  apo-printshop-manager@mit.edu or apo-acl@mit.edu.

* If you like to be trained soon, please send me an e-mail.  I'm one
  of the brothers qualified to train others on the letterpress, and
  have recently been doing most of the training and qualifying.

PS: I was initiated into Alpha Chi in the Fall of '67.  And help out
with the press as asked by the actives.
