No. 14
              An Introduction to << The Outcry>> (Na Han)
                      From:  <COSMOS@PURCCVM>

    "The Outcry" (Na Han) was founded on June 3rd,1989 as the official
publication of the then formed American Chinese Students and Scholars
Solidarity Union (Midwest) Inc., ACSU as abbreviation. Delegates from about
20 universities gathered at Purdue University in Indiana to discuss about
continuing the pro-democratic movement initiated in Beijing's  Tiananmen
square and unification was achieved for the first time among 8,000 Chinese
students and scholars from 11 states in midwest area. Purdue was elected
the first chair of the Board of Executive Members, and according to the
Constitution of ACSU, took charge of editing the Bulletin of the Union.

    First issue of The Outcry was published on June 4th,1989, a single page
 flier in white and colored sheets. 4,000 copies distributed during the
first rally organized by ACSU in Chicago condemning the brutality of Beijing
regime.
    Second issue set up the current format of The Outcry : 8 pages, six of
them Chinese and last two pages English , with circulation 8,000. The third
issue utilized bulk rate U.S. postal service to deliver the paper throughout
midwest area as well as other institutions in the U.S.A. and Canada. The
forth issue, circulation 9,000, was distributed further to European
countries like West Germany, Sweden, U.K., France, Holland, Austria and Hong
Kong, Taiwan, Macaw Japan and Australia. The fifth issue reached a
circulation of 10,000 with half of them to be mailed to individual readers
directly. The first five issues were edited by the editorial crew in Purdue.
>From the sixth issue on , The Outcry will be edited by the third chair of
ACSU, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and University of Wiscosin jointly,
according to the resolution on the third plenum of the Executive Board this
November.

    Though as a publication of ACSU (midwest), The Outcry has working
relationships with the IFCSS, the "June 4th Radio Station", the Rhine
Tongxun (in West Germany), and other Chinese student groups in the States.
Many libraries ,including Harvard-Yenching Library in Boston, Hoover
Institute in Stanford, Asian library of Univ. of Chicago, have had all the
past issues of The Outcry in storage.

    The following students have been served as editor-in-chief of The
Outcry: Ding Zijiang, Wang Changcheng, Jiang Yang and Xie Tian, and many
thanks go to a dozen of other students in Purdue University for their
devoted works which make The Outcry a non-professional , the largest
student run newspaper in North America a success.

NO. 15  Introduction to China-Net
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Guan, Weihe  (INR@UGA)

                     China-Net Introduction
                     ======================

     China-Net is an electronic-mailing communication network.  It
was established in May 1989, to serve the long-term pro-democracy
activities for China.  Presently, China-Net has 244 coordinators
representing 171 schools and organizations in 14 countries and
regions.

     The function of China-Net is to coordinate the united actions
among all overseas Chinese in universities and other organizations
worldwide.

     Members of China-Net are coordinators representing their
schools or organizations.  The recommended number of coordinators
for each school is two, and the maximum acceptable is three, due
to technical limitations of the net.

Each coordinator is committed to the responsibilities of:
     a. exchanging reliable information related to pro-democracy
        movement in China;
     b. broadcasting the network message to his/her local
        organization;
     c. posting announcements, suggestions, calls or proposals
        initialized by the organization which s/he represents;
     d. reporting relevant activities in his/her school or
        location;
     e. informing relevant future events;
     f. others, if applicable.

     Applicants must fill out the Info-Form and provide required
contact information to become a registered China-Net coordinator.

     Messages to be posted on China-Net shall be signed, by the
registered coordinator and/or the organization being represented,
and sent to one of the following two addresses (NOT BOTH OF THEM):

          [email-masked]
     or   [email-masked]

Personal questions, comments, or discussions are NOT acceptable to
China-Net.

     China-Net is managed by a five-member coordination committee.
They monitor the net on day-to-day bases, handle distribution bugs,
accept membership applications, update coordinators directory, and
respond to questions and comments about China-Net.  Their working
e-mail address is "[email-masked]".  Should there be
any questions and comments, applications, notice of change in
coordinator's contact information, or resignation of China-Net
membership, please do not send them to the posting address of
China-Net, instead, direct them to the China-Net Coordination
Committee at:

     [email-masked]

     Coordinators of China-Net are encouraged to set up local e-
mail nets to rebroadcast message from China-Net to their local
people; however, receivers on local nets are not encouraged to post
any message directly on China-Net.  They shall send mails to their
representative coordinators, and let the coordinator to decide if
the mail shall be posted.

     Coordinators who fail to carry out their duty, or violate the
China-Net regulations, may be removed from the net, temporally or
permanently, under requests of over 10 coordinators.

     China-Net also accept Non-Chinese members, as coordinators of
China-related organizations, or as individuals who are willing to
help in coordinating pro-democracy activities for China.

     China-Net Coordination Committee welcomes all coordinators of
China-Net, and other friends, to contribute, in various means, on
the construction and maintenance of this e-mail coordination
system.  Hope China-Net may serve you better in the future.

Brief Introduction of the Author(s):

China-Net Coordination Committee was formed in early May of 1989.
The five members are all Chinese graduate students in different
universities of the United States.  Some of them have never met
the others.  It is the shared willingness of working for a better
China that brought them together in the e-mail communication
system.  They share the China-Net maintenance work, and help one
another to carry the load of their own study/research duties, and
those of the China-Net at the same time.
