October 15,1987 THE LANCE page 7 Business/Economics News 100% For St. Andrews Big Success The can^)us fundraising drive, 100% For St. Andrews, piablicized by the Business/Economics classes, was a v^opping success. Only eight people out of 902 on caitpus have yet to commit to St, Andrews. The Highest pledging group was the students, with 772 out of 772 pledging for St. An drews. The total on-caitipus percent of participation was 98%, a truly admirable job. Marketing skills for the drive were credited as the main factor for the re markable results. Student teams prepared "getting started" kits for dorm lea ders, with B/E students available to help suite leaders explain the ration al for the campaign and the concepts of the various steps of the pledging proc ess. Sincere person-to- person discussions resulted in gaining many last minute pledges. Student leaders worked hard to convince the student body that this was a good time to send a posi tive message. Two out of the three faculty divisions are 100% and all but one of the staff offices were. The cairpaign will continue until Oct. 23 and will hop efully continue the 100% pledging. Congratulations to the Business students who have worked hard to make this year's John Blue Festival, to be held Oct. 17, bigger than ever, and especially to raise the level of camp us support to record numbers.

Survey Results In Preliminary Results of Steve Skinner's Mar keting Survey indicate great student interest in piiblications offered by St. Andrews. Most consi dered The Lance to be a key source of canpus news and opinion. All students responding would welcome a radio station that was more readily available to students and the local community. The St. An drews yearbook got high marks, and the Cairn and the St. Andrews Review have a loyal following. The initial feedback im plies that a Cairn price of $3.50 would be consi dered a good value. n.TA HELP YOUR NEIGHBOR ...
