would not publish the advertisement.
According to Adam Smith (no rela-
tion to Bradley), business manager of
University of Michigan's The Michigan
Daily, the paper's advertising staff
voted to reject the advertisement after
going through a process of discussions.
The paper reserves the right to reject
advertisements "found to be defamato-
ry, lacking factual basis, misleading or
false in nature."
"We've had several requests from
[Bradley Smith] to run ads before and
we look at each case individually," said
Smith.
