happening around Ann Arbor
The voting: The first four sections of this
issue, and, of course, the "Best Responses"
section, are based on a voluntary vote of
Michigan Daily readers. More specifically,
these sections represent accurately the
tabulated choices of these voters, who
either cut the ballot from Weekend
Magazine, and delivered it to the Daily, or
filled out a ballot in the Fishbowl. A number
of measures designed to prevent fraud were
employed, and these measures necessarily
limited the number of ballots. The Best of
Ann Arbor is not a scientific poll, nor should
it be.
Best Food, Businesses, Campus Life,
Responses, and The Worst of Ann Arbor
were compiled by: Dov Cohen, Georgea
Kovanis, John Logie, Bill Marsh, Tom
Miller, and Jackie Young
Best Sports was compiled by Adam Martin
and Barb McQuade
