by Steve Lalli A survey questioning the need for a credit union on campus will soon be circulated among students and faculty. The 14-question survey will be conducted by credit union members who will be can- vassing door-to-door, and at other points on campus, said credit union President Tom Bosh, CBA '86. Overall, about 1000 students, faculty, administrators and staff will be questioned. The questions are "targeted at seeing if there is a demand for us (the credit union)," said Bosh. The aim of the survey is "to show the administration... that the credit union will be the next alternative to tlic bursar," said board member Mike Kocz, CBA '87.
