Thank you for all of your help. We have actually opened communications with
our SCG which in the long run will solve this situation and possible future
repetition of this situation.
You may have found a fix that will eventually solve your problem. I just
wanted to point out that any and all censorship, of any kind, based on a
publications content is illegal.
Courts seldom side against student publications when it comes to the issue.
Bottom line, you have the same rights as your local newspaper to the
Washington Post.
This is a serious issue. If the problem is solved great. However, if your
publication is receiving cuts do to content, don't give up.

OS76 - by Todd Purgason
http://www.spark-online.com/001gallery/os76/index.html
Flash is art, and that's the idea behind OS76 by Todd Purgason of
JUXTInteractive. OS76 is a personal exploration of the "collision of found
objects as inspirations from the digital world with found objects and
inspirations from the real world. Spawning a surrealistic junkyard of
inspirations."
The Pros and Cons - design by Sean Donohue, words by Dana Mezzina
http://www.spark-online.com/001gallery/mm/index.html
When I was a little guy, I had dreams of being led out to see by a mermaid..
as do many young boys I imagine. Anyway, the newest Digital Gallery piece by
Dana Mezzina and Sean Donohue explores The Pros and Cons of Being a
Merimaid... have fun. :)
You'll find our Call for Submissions below... read it through if you are
interested in having an article or Digital Gallery content published in the
upcoming issue of *spark-online.

Call for Submissions <8.0> - June Issue
"For a publication whose motto reads "exploring electronic consciousness,"
this is not at all high-falutin material. The articles are well chosen, and
certainly do reflect contemporary issues." James Horner (Canadian Content)
"The tone adopted is one which frequently avoids the hype which all too
often attends discussions of e-culture." (CTI Textual Studies: Oxford
University)
"I believe that *spark-online captures the essence of a greatness which few
new and emerging technology sites can lay claim to. Spark-online's slogan is
"exploring electronic consciousness." I believe this summary describes
exactly what the site does. Look out Wired, Look out ZDNet, Look out
C-Net..." (Osopinion.com)
First published in October of 1999, *spark-online has achieved remarkable
success in a short period of time. With nearly 2 million visits to the first
7issues, readers encounter an online magazine that doesn't condemn or
celebrate the technology that defines modern life, but rather attempts to
understand its role and influence within the nascent digital culture it has
spawned.
What will politics look like in the 21st century? What role do the arts have
to play in a wired world? How can I stay abreast of all the change? In each
issue of *spark-online, we attempt to wrestle with these questions under the
rubric: 'exploring electronic consciousness.'
Electronic consciousness is part thesis, part polemic, and part convenient
brand into which we stuff our oversized ideas every month. Each month it
covers topics under the following headings:
Media - Film, T.V., Online, Music;
Trends - related to culture and technology;
Discourse on Electronic Consciousness;
e-society - politics, religion, economy;
Misc.(ing) - Visual Arts, Poetry, Short Story, Literary Criticism.
Written submissions should be between 400 and 1000 words. Please use Times
New Roman font (12 point), and include a short biography of yourself at the
end of the piece (no more than 40 words in length). Editorial policy will
favour those submissions that are succinct in syntax and in the active
voice. Preference will be given to editorial-style opinion articles, rather
than rational, exegetical style articles. Given the constraints of the
medium an editorial style article lends itself better to an on-line
publication.
Submissions are not paid. Writers retain copyright subject to written
agreement between themselves and *spark-online. We will notify writers via
electronic mail on the 25th of the month if their pieces have been accepted.
We will not notify writers who are not going to be published.
Submissions can be sent as an attachment in MS WORD, or as the body of an
e-mail c/o Managing Editor, Robert Delamar
Submissions are due on the 5th of each month for publication on the 1st of
the following month..
Please send written submissions to our Managing Editor, Robert Delamar at:
rfde...@spark-online.com
or visual submissions to Kristopher Krug at: kr...@spark-online.com
