No doubt about it, Ann Arbor is a sports-minded town. With so many University sports, there's bound to be a number of "Bests" and "Worsts." There are some honorable categories, some a bit less so: nonetheless, Jeff Bergida and Tom Keaney of the Daily sports staff have graciously compiled the Best of Sports. What a bunch of clowns Page 31 Those of you who are voters must know the tem- ptation to respond in a humorous way to categories on your Best of Ann Arbor ballots. Fortunately most of you restrained yourselves, but here are the best responses from those voters who let it all hang out.

We still got several responses that indicated someone was simply not following directions. For example, one clever soul decided that Ann Arbor has no reasonable delicatessen worthy of his sophisticated New York palate, so he graciously provided us with the name of his favorite back on old Long Island - "Ben's". A fat lot of good that'll do us. Another charming con- tributor thought that Taco Bell ranks as an omnipotent culinary experience worthy of nomination in EVERY SINGLE category on the ballot. Narrow creativity is better than no creativity at all. Several voters thought that we wan- ted to know some of their most intimate secrets, such as their Best Burger en- try, the infamous "Bacon Double Cheeseburger at the MUG." Frankly, we don't care what you eat, it's where you eat it that is headline material. Another consumer lists in the best Gifts category - "Clothes." Just stop and think about it for a minute . . . he/she was not joking, nor was the clever response in the same category - "flowers." Fascinating. Worst Grinds The classes end on Friday and then the fun starts. Not for some people, ap- parently. "The UGLi' was a moderately common answer to Best Place To Be On A Saturday Afternoon. The UGLi is, understandably, a place where you must be on some after- noons, but is it really the Best place To Be On A Saturday Afternoon? Has this university been overrun by pre-meds? Best Wit Ah, college humor is still alive and well and living in Ann Arbor. The best proof of this was one respondents nomination of General Dynamics for Best Subs. Unfortunately, they'll probably never win. We've heard that they're overpriced and that they never deliver on time. Best Cheater Must to everyone's surprise-well, sort of-at least one econ student is looking at his neighbor's papers. He's cheating. At least that's what one ballot reported. The question: Best Copying. The answer: The guy who sits behind me in econ. For shame. But wait, don't lose all faith in humanity. There is at least one honest student out there. When asked the same question, he wrote in "I never cheat." Ah, honesty.

Sales Manager ..........Mary Anne Hogan The Best of Ann Arbor -HE PUBLIC has spoken. Weekend responds. After tabulating hundreds of ballots, we feel confident in reporting the Best and Worst of Ann Arbor. Thank you for making the Third Annual Best ofAnn Arbor issue possible. -Magazine Editors Cle±hritligrn Di l THIRD A%%tAl Best of Ann Arbor OFFICIAL BALLOT Best Everything Store Stop-n-go sweeps the polls with nominations in many (well, three) categories. Who would have dreamed that your friendly, neighborhood corner market would be considered best place to go when you're drunk, best video ar- cade, and best florist? But a more pressing question is does Stop-n-Go even sell flowers? And if it doesn't, what was it that the person who voted it best florist gave to his Formal date? And would he be interested in buying some swamp land in Southern Florida? Worst Feeling Many students reflected upon the un- pleasantness of overindulgence in their answers to Best Place To Go When You're Drunk. That eerie feeling called "the spins" has probably plagued most of us at one time or another, but where do we go when they strike? "The bathroom" and "the porcelain god" were common, and fairly discrete an- swers. Congratulations go to residents of Frost House in Markley Hall who have eliminated the euphemisms and have established a "vomitorium" on each hall. Worst Orthographers Maybe some of those select few who feel the best place to be on a Saturday afternoon is the UGLib should tune into reality for a while and get some hands- on experience in life. Get out of your study carrels and seethe places you've only heard of and haven't the slightest notion of how to spell (as some of your ballots indicate). Some of the in- teresting, more phoenetic variations of traditional spellings were Bivojac, Bivoac, Bivoyak, Bivovac, Bivoac, (Bivouac), Dully's (Dooley's), and Bennatton's (Benetton). But by far the award for the most exotic spelling .of a local business has got to go to the in- dividual whose active imagination gave us the Ghandi Dancer (Gandy Dancer). Well dun. Worst Cynic What would Freud say? He surely would have called one respondent "a manic depressive with a death wish." Apparently unhappy at U-M, the student's response to Best Place To Be on A Saturday Afternoon was "out of town." Further confirmation came in response to Best Day of the School Year; "no day" was the cynic's an- swer. Finally, the Best Place To Go When You're Drunk was "driving."
