TIES.
With the present state of the
Michigan economy merchants
nor students have extra
money to contribute to stu-
dent organizations and their
charitable causes. This
dilemma has forced reduc-
tions in programs for many
organizations and threatens
the very existence of others.
Such was the plight of a small
North Campus co-op this past
academic year. As they
struggled to get a few adver-
tisers to cover the printing
cost of their price list the
words "sorry, it's not in our
budget" came up repeatedly.
Yet merchants were buying
discount coupon advertising
from commercial ad agencies
which ironically were
targeted at students. As ex-
plained by the co-op's co-
ordinator "The implications
were clear, merchants em-
pathized with student
organizations but they simply
couldn't afford charity cases.
If we hoped to obtain their
support we would have to be
competitive with commercial
agencies." Research began
and it was almost im-
mediately apparent that
collectively student
organizations had the
capacity to develop an excep-
tional' discount adver-
tisement. The co-op laid the
ground work, then contacted
other student organizations
who became excited about
the potential of the program.
At that point it was decided
to include faculty and staff
groups as well. When one
merchant was asked what he
thought oaf the S$S program
he replied. "It's a great idea
and will be successful . -.. it
enables both merchants.
and students (also faculty and
staff) to give because they
also receive."
NEXT WEEK "How it all pulled
together." Hard work by co-op
members, plus the heip and co-
operation of S.O.A.P., MSA,
Michigan Advertising Works, the
Michigan Union, the North Cam-
pus Famiiy Housing Office, and
others were instrumental to the
deveiopment of StS.
