I think as i explained in last mail. I am pretty sad about the absence of 2
people who are active in the promotion efforts at this point. There is no
other words to describe it . I still belive we can do both the programs in
a better way if it was after the rush timings. Anyway it is your  trip  and
decision is yours. I am not branding  it or building "angels" as you do .My
focus is only on the executing responsibilities i have taken ie . Program &
Finance

True. There are many approaches to increase the reach to students.  And we
need to try these ways

AFAIK We are not planning to pull people for news photo.  There is a need
of distributed responsibilities. But we need more people now. That is the
main point .
