notes FROM THE
editor: COLLEGE DATA: So far we have received 22 enthusiastic replies to our College Data request in the editorial notes of the last MG edition. This is great, but where are the rest of the colleges that should be sending us their school data to be included in our January edition COLLEGE DATA CHART. This chart will be read by high school gymnasts across the nation (and around the world) looking for a college they would one day like to attend. We know, as we received several thousand requests for this information through our MG GYM POLL we have been conducting for the past year. Starting with this edition (supplementing the coming College Data Chart to be published in January), we will publish photos and information on several different colleges in each of the coming editions as a regular continuing MG feature series.

PLEASE! If you move, notify the MG office . ... A change-ofaddress card to the post office is not sufficient to get your MG magazine forwarded unless you guarantee to pay additional postage to the post office. Your magazines are returned to us (postage due) with or without your new address. In some cases they are not returned to us at all, and we keep mailing to your old address not knowing you have moved and are not receiving your paid for MG .... Even though we try to keep up on address changes and make corrections that come in the day we are mailing the MG, it would be better for both of us; if you know you are moving, to try to send us your change of address at least six weeks ahead of time (as requested by most other national publications). Thank you.
