The results of a Student Shopping
Survey were recently published and
they suggest that Texas A&M Uni
versity students are pleased with
shopping services in the Bryan-
College Station area.
those interviewed was that of high
prices. Nineteen percent said prices
should be lower and 18 percent said
student discounts should be offered.
Check cashing and credit policies
were also said to present an obsta
cle.
The survey was sponsored by the
Bryan-College Station Chamber of
Commerce and performed by a
Texas A&M Marketing Research
class. Of the 1,000 students who
were contacted in the telephone
study, 62 percent said they found
nothing lacking in local area shop
ping.
Ten product and service
catagories were studied in the sur
vey which was conducted during
October and November oflast year.
The purpose of the study is to in
form the local business community
of the problems that
red 1
encountero
roblems that are
by student shoppers.
Students surveyed were in
agreement that area merchants
should make their services better
known. These students said more
advertising is needed in The Battal
ion and on local radio stations in
order to reach the students.
Another complaint voiced bv
Auto repairs and the cost of those
repairs received unsatisfactory
ratings from 25 percent of those
interviewed. Research results show
that the heaviest student use of
these services is among off-campus,
married males.

How Evelyn Wood Reading
Dynamics gives you a

how do you get ahead of the rest?
Evelyn Wood can triple your
reading rate and improve your
comprehension and study skills.
Hundreds of thousands of students use the Reading Dynamics
Method. They find reading less of a chore. Concentration and
retention improve, which can lead to better grades. A competi
tive edge is important . . . too important for you to delay.
Prove it to yourself today!
Whether you're thinking of grad school or the job market, or if
you want to keep up with course reading today, let Evelyn Wood
Reading Dynamics give you a competitive edge.
In fact Evelyn Wood guarantees that you will triple your reading
rate if you follow the course correctly, or your full tuition
refunded. That’s our competitive edge.

The Competitive Edge.
that Bryan-College Station does not
need more home equipment stores
since most students bring their
stereos and television sets from
home.
Stores would benefit if they
stayed open later, according to 9
percent of the students. Six percent
said sales people should be
friendlier and stores should carry a
larger amount of stock. Ladies’ and
men s clothing and shoes were
named as items that need to be of
fered in wider varieties and in larger
quantities.
Students often complain about a
lack of entertainment, however,
survey results show that 33 percent
of the single students and 42 per
cent of the married students said no
thing is lacking in this area. Thirty
percent of the single students said
Bryan-College Station needs more
live entertainment, while 20 per
cent of the marrieds agreed.
Students seem to eat out fre
quently; 53 percent of those sur
veyed said they eat out three or
more times a week. Seafood re
staurants and “very nice” restaur
ants topped the list of new eating
places that should be established.
Overall, students who shop the
local area seem satisfied with the
services available to them. How
ever, some students seldom even
shop in Bryan-College Station, in
stead depending on their parents or
trips back home to meet their shop
ping needs. Fifty-five percent of
those surveyed said they could think
of nothing that needs to be done by
area merchants to be of more serv
ice to University students.
