TOGETHER"
Before developing the S$S pro-
gram, the Northwood Non-Food Co-
op tool a long look at commercial
discount promotions. Such promo-
tions are enjoying increasing popu-
larity as consumers become more
bargain conscious. Locally, there is
the Michigan Money Saver, the Ad
Sheet, Semca, and others. Even
Ma Bell may soon enter the arena.
Discount promotions generally
come in one of two forms-dis-
count cards or coupon booklets. In
designing S$S both forms were in-
corporated, thus merchants are able
to discount all year, just once, or
anything in between.
With the program structured,
MSA was able to suggest a means
of conducting a survey to gauge
the interest of student organiza-
tions. They were very helpful, and
student groups responded very
positively.
Next, selected merchants were
approached and they also liked the
program. However, many were
hesitant because they mistakenly
thought that Student Savings Shield
(S$S) was the Student Savings Card
(S$C). This prompted us to conduct
a thorough investigation into S$C
and what we found was a real can
of worms. A first class fraud had
been perpetroted. A smooth
talking salesman representing an
outfit from Texas told MSA one
story and merchants another. Then
he ran off with the money.
We wanted to assure both stu-
dent organizations and merchants
that S$S was not a fly by night
operation.
We went to S.O.A.P. and MAW
for suggestions. Out of our discus-
sion with them, a university ac-
count was opened in the name of
Student Savings Shield / Northwood
Non-Food Co-op. S.O.A.P. univer-
sity accounts require full documen-
tation of all transactions. This was
an important step for S$S.
S$S Staff have had to contact
many university offices in the
course of "pulling it together" and
all have been very obliging. Thank
you S.OA.P., MAW, MSA, N.C.
Family Housing, Michigan Union,
Campus Information Center, UAC,
