hard-working students.
This year's election
committee is composed of five
students headed by Irving
Taylor, who is on the Judiciary
Committee of the Student
Legislature.
Registration for various
positions will be Sunday, March
24, from 1-6 p.m. in the SGA

An
find
By Cassandra Wynn
attempt will be made to
out    what     impact    the
university community has on the
Greensboro area economy. The
director of Institutional
Research, Dr. Archie Blount, has

DR. ARCHIE BLOUNT
announced that he is conducting
a survey to get an "estimate of
the impact that A&T has on the
economy of Greensboro and
Guilford County."
Figures he released for one
part of the study that he has
finished showed that the
university has 758 full-time
employees which means
$2,492,000 in retail sales that is
being put into the Greensboro
economy this current fiscal year.
It also means that $1,717,000
in bank deposits will be put in
the banks in the Greensboro area
each year. Seven hundred fifty
eight full-time employees also
mean that 23 more retail
establishments are maintained in
this area.
Blount said there are four
parts to his study which include:
1. faculty and staff expenditures
in the area, 2. i ocal expenditures
by the university; university
related expenditures (athletics
and visitors on campus), and 4.
student expenditures in the area.
"One of the main elements of
the study," said Blount, "is the
response from the students." His
office is putting questionnaires in
each of the dormitories
concerning student expenditures.
Questionnaires will be available in
the Union for off-campus
students. They contain questions
about what students spent last
fall and what will be spent the
rest of the school year.
Blount said that the
questiomiaa- does not include
expenditures that arc paid
directly to the university. Such
things as book supplies which are
listed on the questionnaire would
mean books and supplies that go
beyond the book rental fee.
In a similar study that Blount
did for another university in
1971, he said the institution
could feel the results as far as an
increase in financial support
from the community.
"It should have far-reaching
effects on employment," said
Blount about the results of his
study. He continued, "It might
mean more foundation money ,
better student welfare, and a
better relationship with the
community."
Blount said the people and
the community should find out
that "our being here has a great
impact  on   the  local economy."
the hours are from 9 a.m. to
5:30 p.m. Elections registration
will end Wednesday, March 27,
at 12 p.m. Registration Monday
through Wednesday will be held
in Room 205 in the Student
Union.
Rules governing the election
will be the same as those which
governed last year's elections.
Each candidate will be informed
of these rules governing the
election as he registers
Campaign speeches will be
held April 8 in Harrison
Auditorium at 7 p.m. for all
offices. The candidates for
President of the SGA and Miss
A&T will have five minutes for
their campaign speeches and all
other SGA office candidates will
have three minutes for their
speeches.
All candidates for class offices
will have three minutes for their
speeches. Also this year rising
juniors who have or will have 64
hours at the end of this semester
may run for either
Vice-President, Secretary, or
Treasurer of the SGA.
Lloyd Inman, who as
vice-president of the SGA is
responsible for appointing the
elections committee. said"I hope
that there will be a large number
of students running for offices
and that those running will be
sincere in their desires to hold
these offices. There are many
things the SGA and class officers
can accomplish in cooperation
with the administration."
In closing, Inman stated that
the SGA next year should
attempt to involve as many
students    as    possible    in    the
governing of the student  body.
