[University-chapters] What do you need?

[Kevin Crews]

I'm Kevin from IMSA--didn't get a chance to introduce myself in the last
thread.
I feel that our main problem at IMSA is getting people to make the
commitment to our existing projects.  I feel that 'swag' could help us
advertise as well as give away a cool gift to our members.  Stickers sound
very cool.  T-shirts are always great.
