...according to Elizabeth M. Touhey '86, council vice-president and member of the SPA board of directors, there should be no problem obtaining more corporate sponsorships. Beer and athletic companies who cater to student markets set money aside for such projects, she said...
Perhaps the humorless simplicity of the movie lies in the fact that it was rated PG. The makers of the movie tried to cater to the child audience and the older crowd, but they sacrificed basic, good B-moviemaking in the process. Rustler's Rhapsody tries to sell itself so hard that it sells itself short. The wild west madcap parody is a building block which just cannot support such a deadweight movie.

The tax bills-Bradley/Gephardt for the Democrats, Kemp/Kasten for the Republicans, and the Treasury's as yet unapproved one for the Administration-have added attractiveness in that they are generally equitable and do not cater to any special interest group.

The independents can earn money on record sales of 1,000 or less...

Since it may cost up to $20 million to to develop a major, text-based study program, publishers have to cater to the rules of the big states. Moreover, much of the pressure for simplified texts has come from overworked or undertrained teachers who need something easy to handle in class. This is particularly true in such states as California and Texas, with high percentages of foreign-born or ghetto students...
