Schafer said hundreds of students have come into the office to help out with events, phone calls, faxing and everything else, including organizing campaign tail-gate parties. We do rely on them a lot. Schafer said everyone is impressed by the loyalty and enthusiasm of the student volunteers. The response to the campaign has been great. The location of the campaign office, about a mile from Michigan State University's campus, is a big bonus, Schafer said.
Students come in and the next time they bring a lot of friends.
