Over the next four years you are sure to amass enough Michigan clothing to completely fill Mom's washing machine during Thanksgiving. While making the long haul from the dorms to the stadium, you will encounter a bevy of bookstores where you can purchase the standard Michiganwear - blue on maize, maize on blue, blue on gray, maize and blue on white, white and blue on maize, and so on. If you ac- cidentally pass Ulrich's, don't get dispirited. You will tackle Michigan Book and Supply or the Michigan Union Bookstore long before kickoff. For more exotic tastes, touch down at Moe's. Here you'll find clothing and accessories perfect for doing the Bullwinkle, throwing marshmallows, and - oh - watching the game.

Kerrytown shopping area has small-town flair by David Shepardson Answer: A great place in Ann Arbor to go shopping or simply spend an afternoon browsing. Question: What is Kerrytown? While the preceding isn't likely to be a Jeopardy question anytime soon, most students aren't aware that Kerrytown exists. Kerrytown is a modern-day version of the town square - where more than 30 inde- pendent merchants sell their goods. An ideal time to visit Kerrytown is on one of the two days of the week that the Farmer's Market is open - either Wednesday or Saturday. (see related story) Or visit the Artisan's market - where area artists sell there work - on Sundays May through December. Kerrytown is set in three historic buildings: the Luick, Godfrey, and Market, and surrounded by cobble- stone streets and a courtyard. There is plenty to eat in Kerrytown. There are several excel- lent restaurants, especially Kerry- town Bistro and Pastabilities. Several Kerrytown bakeries special- ize in specific types of baked goods.
