Form labeling question

for

Hi folks.

I'm trying to put together a form with some rank-order questions, and
I'm having trouble figuring out the labels.

A sample question, with the layout the client is asking for:

************

What types of events would you like to see more of? (indicate your
top three)

1 2 3
• • • Comedy Nights
• • • Dances
• • • Films
• • • Athletic events
• • • Community Service
• • • Battle of the Bands

***************

The bullets above represent radio buttons. If this was a data table,
it would be easy to solve with row and column scope, but I can't
figure out an equivalent for labels. Plus, not only does each radio
button need *two* labels, but each activity would need to be the
label for three buttons.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Keith
