Call For Articles!!!

`Crossroads, the ACM Student Magazine', is looking for submissions for
its Spring issue.

The theme of this issue is Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).  We are
currently accepting submissions for this issue.  If you have an idea
for an article, we would appreciate it if you let us know before you
start writing so we can try to make sure we get a good variety of
articles.  Articles on either generic issues of HCI or applied areas
of HCI are welcome.

Crossroads articles should be written for a broad audience. They
should be easily understandable by someone who has had only the most
basic computer science instruction, and yet still be interesting to
the advanced computer enthusiast. Articles longer than 6000 words will
generally not be considered for publication. Feature articles should
be between 1500 and 6000 words; reviews should be between 800 and 2000
words; and opinion columns should be between 800 and 3000
words. Articles should be written in a magazine style rather than a
research paper style.  In consideration of our diverse readership,
authors should try to use language that is inclusive of people
regardless of their gender, race, religion, nationality, or field of
study.  Additional writing guidelines and submission information are
available online at the Crossroads web site:
http://www.acm.org/crossroads/

Crossroads is published both online and in print.  We have a print
circulation of about 13,000.  All back issues are available for
free on our website.

All submissions should be formatted in HTML or plain text format and
emailed to xrds-submit@acm.org.  Please include your article in the
body of your message: DO NOT include it as an attachment.  Submissions
are due October 31, 1996.  They will be reviewed shortly there after and
authors of accepted articles will be notified within two to three weeks 
of the deadline.

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to email me at:
cavazos@acm.org
