I am entirely bias on this. For one I am a board member with LSPIRG and for two I was involved in the conversation that caused Anthony to call Brian. LSPIRG typically pays students about $1000 to complete a research project. What is proposed is between LSPIRG and a partner they split the cost and together higher a researcher. I think there is some great data to go over and this could make a great case as to the short falls of this referendum. So as I said, I am entirely for this and entirely bias.

I'm in favour of research! It's money well spent.<br><br>-- Bob.<br><br><br>>>> 12 Oct 2007 Brian Tanguay <<a href="mailto:fvc-wat-disc@listserv.thinkers.org">fvc-wat-disc@listserv.thinkers.org</a>>
<br>>>><br><br>> Hi all,<br>><br>> Regarding leftover money: Anthony Piscitelli of LSPIRG phoned me this<br>> afternoon to ask whether we would be interested in (or able to)<br>> co-sponsoring a student to conduct a research project on the
<br>> referendum. We mulled some ideas over and one that came to mind was to<br>> try to determine if the pro-MMP vote was higher in polls that were<br>> canvassed (or had literature drops) in this region than in those that
<br>> had no contact. There should be some interesting ways of trying to<br>> test this, and Anthony thought that the project might cost around<br>> $1000 in total, to be shared by LSPIRG and us. It could lead to a
<br>> publication or two for the student doing the research, which would be<br>> excellent for anyone planning on applying eventually to grad school.<br>><br>> So, do you think we would have maybe $400 to devote to this project?
<br>> Should we do something like this? I would vote yes, but then I'm an<br>> academic ...<br>><br>> Anthony promised to send me some more information about this idea, and<br>> I'll forward it if you think it's something worth pursuing.

<br>> surplus, aside from the $1350 they spent on radio ads. Indeed, they<br>> had a surplus of their own.<br>><br>> I would encourage everyone who's put a lot into this campaign to fill<br>> up their gas tank, and keep the receipt for possible reimbursement.
<br>><br>> Cambridge had an unexpected surplus which they're spending on<br>> thank-you ads. Did we want to do something similar?<br>><br>> Kevin.<br>> _______________________________________________
