I didn’t have a chance to see yesterday’s Ann Arbor News until this morning, but this greeted me on the front page: PR pro sees tarnish at EMU; Poor image will linger, he predicts.

And at least one student is [...] Just to change the subject a bit, and just for a short time I’m sure : – (, but I’m interested in hearing the free wireless sites you’ve found near the EMU campus. Please include the name and location and brief review. Here’s where you might find me when I’m avoiding campus: Beaners, Washtenaw Ave across [...] There were two editorials that I bumped into today, one from the Hastings area, where Laura Dickinson was from, and another from Virginia. There is also an article in the New York Times.  |
