"Help Us, Help You (Read: Free Stuff)"



Dear Spectrum reader,


WeOre about halfway through this semester and weOre looking to make this newspaper more appealing to you. We want to know how the UB public works, what interests and disinterests you. So how about this:


Return this completed survey below to 132 Student Union and weOll enter your name into a drawing for the following:


1) One of 50 passes for two to a special advanced screening of the new horror film, OThe Saw,O starring Danny Glover, Monica Potter and Cary Elwes, on Thursday, October 21st at the Elmwood Regal on 2001 Elmwood Ave. Seating is limited to so, if you win, arrive early.


--AND--


2) One of 50 certificates for a free dinner at Big JohnOs Pasta House at 546 Niagara Falls Blvd. The only hitch is that you bring a guest and if you plan on dining on the day of the film, call for reservations. Share the dinner, buy another or make the kid starve; we donOt particularly care as long as you are fed.


So, yeah, answer some questions about what you like - in doing so helping us out - see a movie and eat some good food. Just make sure you fill out the entire survey and return it to our office no later than Monday, Oct. 18 at 5 p.m. Make sure you leave an email address that you check OFTEN. Otherwise, you wonOt be able to claim your prizes. If you donOt have an answer for a question, clearly indicate so.


All winners will be drawn at random.
