Setting Up Student Groups

Here's what we should do for the new student groups.  I'll go in on Monday
morning if I can and start the registration sheets before I leave.  This is
the list of what we have:  Berkeley Liberty Coalition, Students for
Individual Liberty, Anarchist Student Union, and Objectivist Society.

Niso will need to go into the OCF and register all the club accounts,
except that maybe Seth should register the one for the Anarchist Student
Union.  I suggest liberty for Berkeley Liberty Coalition, sil for Students
for Indidual Liberty, asu for Anarchist Student Union, and objsoc for
Objectivist Society.

We will need to also set up all the e-mail lists.  This we can do with our
club account that we have now and transfer the ownership later.  Niso
should do this.  This is what we'll need:

bk-liberty -- Berkeley Liberty Coalition
cal-libertarians-global -- Cal Libertarians global announcements
individual-liberty -- SIL
individual-liberty-global -- SIL global announcements
bk-anarchy -- ASU
bk-anarchy-global -- ASU global announcements
objectivist -- Objectivisit Society
objectivist-global -- Objectivist Society global announcements.

Then we have to subscribe all the "global" lists to the bk-liberty list. 
Everyone should be on at least one individual list, plus either the
bk-liberty list or the corresponding "global" lists.  To start with, we
should add everyone on cal-libertarians to bk-liberty.  I will make some
instructions for how to post to what.

Niso should just have all the lists set up like the cal-libertarians list
intially (except with no one subscribed to them.)

Actually, I'll send in a request for all these lists and Niso can do any
paperwork necessary.

We'll also need web pages for SIL and ASU right away.  I can start this
now.  I won't  necessarily have any graphics software in Germany so I might
need someone to make backgrounds for me.  SIL should be something besides
U.S. flag banner.  A nice faded anarchy symbol would be good for ASU.

I was thinking SIL's page should say basically the same thing as the Cal
Libertarians, but we should pull out all the language on both the
Libertarian Party and libertarianism from the philosophy statement, and
just say what we stand for.  ASU would have to be a bit different.  I'll
think about that one.
