<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I'll propose the opposite question
first: would any student care if they weren't considered a "bylaws
sustaining member"? Would they even know what that meant or care
to listen to an answer? I probably wouldn't bring it up, though
might put it in the fine print.<br class="">
<br class="">
Why join is in the "benefits TBD". <br class="">
<br class="">
I can imagine the benefits including whatever seems to work, such
as a nice shirt, a nice set of bumper stickers and other stuff,
special access to Dr. Jim Lark, a membership card, a free
candidate for President yard sign or window decal, or a free book,
LP News if they check the box requesting it, etc. Whatever we can
afford. Probably not an AR-15. I'd experiment to see what students
want, plus do some research.<br class="">
<br class="">
I seem to recall $10 memberships at other student organizations
but didn't want to get too deep into deciding benefits. We have
free memberships now. Plus all these others.<br class="">

If its not a sustaining member then what would be the reason for
the student to even do it?

I'd like to offer some type of student membership for
$10 with appropriate benefits TBD. These memberships
would not be considered "bylaws Sustaining Members."<br class="">
<br class="">
First, I'd like feedback from the LNC on the concept,
before I get into suggestions on programs. Second, I'd
like the bylaws and Policy Manual aficionados to advise
on what would have to happen for the technical
implementation if that were decided upon. <br class="">
