LCOME TO THE Michigan Daily's First Annual Best of Ann
Arbor. The response to this new Daily feature has been tremendous
and I want to thank all those who took the time to fill out the ballot. The
decisions have been difficult ones and if nothing else, one can begin to ap-
preciate the large number of "Bests" in the Ann Arbor area. Special thanks
to all those who spent time giving suggestions, tabulating results, and
assisting in this monumental project. If you have any suggestions for next
year's Best of Ann Arbor, we would appreciate it if you could drop them by
the Daily.
