Academ's purpose is to iden tify and foster human intel ligence for the betterment of humanity, encourage research in the nature, characteristics and uses of intelligence and to provide a stimulating intellec tual and social environment for its members, he says Academ is different from other intellectual organizations, Cohen says "It is not dependent upon high grades or University invol vement,” he says. "It would at tract people who do not neces sarily get involved in school functions." To join Academ, a student must be in the top two percent of IQ scores in the area, which Cohen estimates to be 130. A SAT score of 1,250 or better is also acceptable "Probably 5 percent of the University would qualify for it,” Cohen says. "But I want to see how much interest there would be for it." Advertising student gets marketing scholarship University News Bureau Advertising student Kevin Roddy has won a full-tuition scholarship to a week-long dir ect marketing educational foundation program in Danbury, Conn., this week. As one of 30 students select ed from more than 230 ap plicants, Roddy will receive a practical introduction to basic direct marketing and direct mail techniques under the guidance of a dozen top practitioners in the $125-billion direct-market ing industry. Topics include the principles of direct mail success, creativi ty, mailing lists and testing Roddy works as an advertis ing representative for the Oregon Daily Emerald. A panel of direct-marketing executives select institute scholarship recipients based on faculty recommendations, the student's academic standing, interest in advertising and mar keting and record of extra-cur ricular school-related activities and employment. Party Continued from Page 7 one, but we surprised ourselves," Kouns says Holmes says she was un aware the SPA existed when she decided to campaign until the group asked her to run on its ticket Operating openly will help the group gain more sup port, she says Starting early will avoid some organizational problems, Kouns says Whereas Greek can didates can go from house to house for support, the SPA must do more legwork to solicit support, he says SPA will rewrite its platform during early winter term, but the group will stress many of last year's themes, Kouns says The group plans to stress that students “get their money's worth from incidental fees," he says Holmes and Kouns say they are considering running again Kouns says there is a better than 50 percent chance he will seek the SPA endorsement for ASUO president, and Holmes says she may be his running mate. If she does not try for an ASUO position, Holmes says she will run for re-election to the IFC The group plans a February bake sale to raise money for SPA campaign printing costs, she adds 0 it Cornar 13th A Hllyard cross from tha now Sac rod Naart addition oooooooaoo Hi ood’^BBrboa Phone 343-6234 _>r aaaaaaaaatt ST 1 *j>siiijiG Mjjrpjtvjr* !naaaaaanaanaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatj& ^ Special Peking Dinner For 2 or More ' offer good Mon.-Thur.
