[Editors] your help for a google logo for MIT's 150th birthday, April 10

[Andrew Whitacre]

Friend got back to me and says: "I submitted a request and emailed the  
guy who makes them (I don't know him though, so I don't carry  
particular sway) -- hopefully it'll go through!"

Hope that helps a wee bit!
