Ei Szdntgan lOatigu 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 -- g4 L L -.M m . -- r= z BIRD OF PARADISE (662-8310) - Paul Vornhagen & Friends.
