<p class=MsoNormal>In my letter to you earlier this year I mentioned the Information
Studies Student Association and enclosed a membership form. I
have to say that I have not been overwhelmed with applications to join.
This is a shame because such an Association is controlled and managed by
you. ISSA’s vision, mission and activities, while formulated by a
very enthusiastic group of students a few years ago, have stood the test of time:<o:p></o:p></p>

form to the few I have received already. As I said in the letter: “</span>Please
leave your completed forms in Kerry Smith’s pigeon hole on the 3<sup>rd</sup>
floor in building 209. External students who wish to be involved may post or
fax in their form”. External students can be involved
electronically as once ISSA is up and running, the ISSA group will establish some
form of e-communication with you. OR if you study externally, yet live in
the Perth environs and can make their meetings, then you will be most welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
