It has been determined that a staff assistant in our department will be
in charge of producing a 5 page newsletter for our research group.  She 
knows nothing about the mac but is artistic and computer literate.  We
have a macII and laserwriterIInt but no software besides WORD 3.02.  The
newsletter will be conventional with some mac graphics, scanned images,
and 2 column text.

Which DTP package would be best suited to such an application?

Is the thunderscanner high quality enough to reproduce photographs for the 
newletter or do I need to go to better ($$$) scanner?  I have been told that
the software on the thunderscanner makes it comparable to the expensive 
models.  The assistant will have to scan the images so it has to be easy to 
use.

Thanks for the help, I will summarize to the net.
