Finding Original Printed Stuff:
Once you've had a chance to browse this index, you may be wondering how to get the original articles (as printed). It's not always easy, but here are some ways to try:

1. Talk to your fellow leaders. Did a previous leadership team leave back issues for the next group of leaders?
2. Ask your local staff worker. Maybe he or she has back issues and can help you.
3. Whole back issues can be ordered for $4.00 as available. Send your check to Student Leadership journal, P.O. Box 7895, Madison, WI 53707-7895
