Posting ads on campus?
Hey MI,

My housemates and I are still looking to fill a room in our house, and we're running out of online options. We figured we'd post paper ads around campus (with the little pull-tabs), but I feel like it's against some rule.

So, does anyone know the restrictions on posting things like this? Thanks!

You have to get them approved by the MSU, otherwise the poster monkeys will take them down. You take your ads to the Underground and they'll stamp them for you with th MSU approval stamp, but you have to pay 10 cents per ad after they stamp the first 10. I just did this last week.

Sweet. A couple more things:

- Do they have to be printed there?
- Is there a limit on the number stamped?
- Do the posters have to be on the corkboards/display cases?
- Is there a restriction on the size? I mean, can it be larger than an 8.5x11?

Hehe, i'm picturing monkeys running around campus ripping posters down in a monkey-like fashion.

anyways, i'm having the same problem, there's simply no one who replies to the ads that i post on MI..
