Stickers are on the way!

Please let us know how alumni and friends from outside of H'burg can purchase them.

Great work, CSUSM!

If you receive more donations, will you use it to order more stickers? I bet some readers here will be sending in some money. You may be able to order 500 or 1,000 more!

To order stickers, mail a check or money order for $2 and a business-seize sase to:

Amber Huff

118 College Drive

Box 6137

Hattiesburg, MS 39406

Thanks again,

CSUSM

We will order more stickers as soon as we get low on them--I don't think that will take very long to happen. We are also exploring other fundraising merchandise such a keychains, t-shirts, hat, etc. We'll keep you posted.

Do we make the check out to Amber Huff?

Give me an idea of how much this all costs. I think that if you posted an amount (such as 100 bumper stickers cost X amount, and 50 keychains cost X amount), then people would be inclined to give you more money. People like knowing the details of exactly how their money can help.

So glad to hear you guys are doing this!

Here's what I know about it:

Yes, make the check out to Amber, but write CSUSM Fund Drive on the memo line.

About the cost of stickers: If I recall correctly, these stickers are costing CSUSM approximately 50 cents each to make. The price per sticker decreases significantly the greater quantity they order.

(I would advise the students to keep 50 cents of each sticker they sale to print new stickers and put 1$ in the professors' defense fund. That way, they will always have a supply of money to cover production of new stickers, thus new donations to the profs' fund.--just my 2 cents.)

When the CSUSM rep is online again, I am sure he will correct me if I am wrong about production costs.

Let me add, too, that these students have given hundreds of hours of their time to activism on behalf of our university and our two professors. Unlike SGA, CSUSM students don't get thousand-dollar scholarships...CSUSM students are altruists. To me, they represent the heart of USM.

Fire Shelby:

I really like your last post. How about the CSUSM starting their own student government organization next year since Cain is starting his own newspaper?

We ordered 1,000 stickers at approximately $.26 each (not including the set-up fee--$20-- and shipping--about $40). The shipping was on the high side because we had to make sure they'd be here in time for the protest, but it totals around $320 per 1000.

We scoured the area to find the best price and Bourne was substantially cheaper than anyplace else.

I'll talk to the other members regarding retaining a small portion of the proceeds to cover future printings, flyers, etc. By the way, if anyone is interested in helping make signs, we'll be having a sign-making at Javawerks Monday night starting around 7.

Hopefully, we won't need to be around that long. However, the USM ACLU chapter will become an official university entity on 12 April and will monitor events closely.

Additionally, Nadine Strossen, president of the ACLU, will speak during the protest. We are also working on getting the Hartwigs to speak as well.
