When I was a student chair at Indiana State University, aside from some
notible blunders headed by me, our Exec board had luck with things such as:


        a computer graphics series including
			a talk by the resident faculty expert
			a vidio which was supplied by Pixar (they were VERY
							    helpfull I will
							    try to find the
 							    address)
			doughnuts (begged from dunkin we tried not to buy
   				   anything unless we had to)

	a university wide programming contest (we begged for prizes at that
					       too and were quite
					       successful)

We had more success after the professors started to get involved.  I know
that Temple University, sorry to take your limelite Tara, has had success
in the past with inviting companies to their meeting.  For some reason
people seem to think that they should get a job after college and they come
to such meetings.  

If I can come up with any ideas I will put them on and I hope that I can be
of some help.  I would like to think, although there are some who would
STRONGLY disagree with me, that I was successful as chapter Chair at ISU
