However, a spokesman for Student Government, SG, said Friday that students should be able to use the card through its expiration date this December. Cheryl Holstad, SG staff assistant, said the cards, which give students discounts at participating stores, were distributed oy ai me request ot LAH Marketing of Bayside, New York. SG agreed to distribute the cards because "they seemed like a good service for students/' she said.

The newspaper also said L&B's phone has been disconnected. Holstad said SG has not been notified that the plan is no longer in operation. And even if the company has gone out of business, she believes local stores will still honor the card. Bobby Orr, manager of the Saluda Avenue Wine and Liquor Store, said he plans to continue honoring the cards. He said the cards are "good for us . . . because they're one way of getting people in the store." The Athletic Attic in Columbia Mall also plans to continue honoring the card, according to the store's manager, Larry Hubard.

Three areas which the campaign emphasizes are portraits, getting a target audience and direct mailing, Lipkin said. The campaign slogan is "We're gonna getcha." In 1977, two portrait sessions were held with a total of 2,300 students participating, Lipkin said. The first session held this semes ter^veraged 200 people a day, with a total of 2,100 students getting portraits taken, she said. BECAUSE OF overwhelming student response, a second portrait session has been scheduled from Oct. 16 to 27. "Students are buying a lot of books during the session/' LapKin said. During the first session 333 books were purchased. The target audience for trie advertising campaign is freshmen and seniors. The Garnet & Black staff focuses their attention on getting these groups to buy yearbooks. Seniors were chosen because "it is their last year and they want to have a memory, said Lipkin.

They are more apt to buy in other years if they buy the book as a freshan," she said. THE DIRECT-MAIL campaign includes 7,500 mailers that were sent out before school began. These mailers allowed students to pay for a copy of the Garnet & Black with their registration fees. Lipkin said another mailer will go out around Christmas to those freshmen and seniors who did not buy books during pre-registration. A list of names is compiled for the yearbook staff by computer services. "This is the first time we have had a sides compaign," Lipkin said. It includes balloons, posters, tshirts for the staff, and a gorrilla suit. "POSTERS ARE up all over, and the students can identify them," she said. The gorrilla adds reality to the "don't monkey around" theme the campaign has taken. Lipkin said the gorrilla will be walking around PATTtnue tn Hrn*v oHobHa?i /? !?*?
