Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year to all of you at
Play Meter.
Thank you for your response
and editorial on location owned
equipment. The problem is still
here', but I think that we can bear
with it until the particular
operator falls flat on his back.

[Rick, a Marketing major at
Gonzaga University, was recent·
ly written up in the university's
newspaper. "The article," he
writes us, "has turned out to be
good P.R. for the coin- 'biz' on our
school's campus. "
We at Play Meter want to
thank Rick, Ted and those others
of you that sent along holiday
wishes, and we want to extend
special greetings to you readers
of and especiaUy you writers to

This is an ad which we ran in
the state paper . We feel this was
for a good cause and a good way
to let the public know we are
indeed interested in our com-
munity. We were all very satis-
fied with the amount of money we
were able to raise, and with the
support of everyone.
There are some arcades in our
area that are under the gun so to
speak from the general public , so
we need to improve our image
whenever and wherever we can.
We like for our industry to look
good so we can all be proud to be
a part of it.

[Play Meter agrees with your
thinking. Community involve-
ment is worthwhile not only
because it can help the operator
achieve a certain, desirable re-
cognition from the community,
but for its own sake.

25 CENT PLAY
Is it a fact (or fiction) that
music operators across the coun -
try are having great success with
one play for 25 cent music as
some articles state?

[For most of the operators
we 've talked to this remains an
experiment, but Norman Little is
one who has been successful with
25 cent play. We interview him as
next month 's Coinman.
