Well FYI, the Western Washington University campus in Bellingham already
has Amigas in several departments:
 
     1.  History and language department
     2.  Theatre and dance department
     3.  Art department (an Amiga lab has been there for about 3 years)

There may be others.  They've done this on their own, but probably would
greatly appreciate help, support and info from Commodore.

Significantly, the campus bookstore has a computer section.  It ALWAYS carries
info/pamphlets on educational discounts for Apple computers.

I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST Commodore send printed information or a poster or
something ON A REGULAR BASIS to campus bookstores announcing Amiga info and
discounts, because I know the bookstore staff are happy to display it.

The address is:            Coop Bookstore
                           Western Washington University
                           Bellingham, WA 98225

 It seems to me also, that it's easier to promote Amigas on a campus where
some are already being used successfully than ones which have strongly
resisted them.
