John Neville, Student Union Treasurer and anchor-— man for the hockey broad- casts, sees the B.N. ma— chine as a . "luxury" and would like to see the games stay on the air. He says advertising to the ststion is sold for the games and without them there will be a loss in revenue.
, Cannon, however, plans to go to all the adver~' 'r tisers and offer other ad- vertising packages. She says that " we are going to to keep that revenue even- though we are no longer going to cover the hockey genes."
Rick Webber, programme Director for CID/N, says that there are so many different advertisers for the hockey games that all the advertising equipenent is used on the games. This leaves little equipement for advertising on other programs or for public an— nouncements. This would cost more money to buy more equipement.
Nevillealso believes that UPEI hockey games are mare relevant to\the stu— were Paul Smith, Nelda Iund, Mike 'Iterris and Step— hen Fitzpatrick.

Cheryl Cannon Cannon also said that the B.N. machine was the first thing all the station directors agreed upon in quite a while. As Webber said in summing up the station's preference: " we have to work for hockey
games but the machine works for us."

UPEI has obtained a high level of scholar- ahip from the students who have previously entered business studies here.
