<H2>About videotapes of Entry Night:</H2>
MacGregor residents who'd like
to have their own copy
of the completed "final version" of the Entry Night '96 videotape
should contact
<A HREF="http://web.mit.edu/slivan/www/home.html">Steve Slivan</A>
(former tutor for G Entry),
who taped the performances and authored the following information:
<P>
<H4>Instructions:</H4>

If you want a "vanilla" copy (see below)
all you need to do is get a blank tape
in the format you want (VHS, S-VHS, Video 8, or Hi8),
attach a note with your name, and get the tape to me!
Ways to do this:
<UL>
<LI>
Alison has kindly set aside a mail shelf,
so you can leave your labelled blank tape for me at the MacGregor front desk.
When you do this be sure to also send me an e-mail
(<TT>slivan@@mit</TT>)
so that I know to come collect your tape.
<LI>
If you prefer you can bring your tape to me directly at
my office in 54-326. Since I'm not always in the room
I recommend that you zwrite me or phone (x3-4115) first if you
plan to come over, to make sure I'm really in!
</UL>
I'll make the copies in the order in which I receive the blank tapes.
<H4>Tape specifics:</H4>

<UL>
<LI><EM>format</EM> -
I can copy to regular VHS, S-VHS, Video-8, and Hi8 format videotapes.
<LI><EM>tape speed</EM> -
I'll use tape speed "SP" for best duplicating quality,
unless you explicitly request otherwise.
<LI><EM>tape length</EM> -
The length of the final program is 81 minutes.
<LI><EM>tape content</EM> -
Copies will contain the introduction,
all 7 acts, and the judging results,
because after I start a copy going I let it run unattended.
To help you find specific acts on your tape I'll also
give you a hardcopy time-index of the tape contents (included below).
(NOTE: The last several minutes of the
B Entry/"Montel" act are missing due to a brief power interruption
which reset the camcorder into "pause" mode.)
<LI>It's a good idea to <EM>check your copy</EM> once you get it
by playing it for a minute or so on your VCR just to make sure
your sound and video are fine!
</UL>

<P>
If you've any questions,
or non-"vanilla" requests,
send me an e-mail at 
<TT>slivan@@mit</TT>.
I also still have the past years' edited tapes,
from 1994 (66 minutes) and 1995 (76 minutes),
both of which will fit on one <EM>*150-minute*</EM> tape at SP speed.
