These structures, known as kiosks, provide student organizations with a per- fect space to disseminate information - but do they serve another purpose? The kiosks function as more than just a post- ing wall. According to University Planner Sue Gott, the kiosks provide ventilation for a system of underground tunnels that connect Central Campus to the Medical School. The tunnels con- tain pipes that carry hot CRIME NOTES water and steam to all campus buildings. Gott said that while vents located closer to the ground could have been used to ventilate the tunnels, they would have blown away passersby by directing air onto walkways. The kiosks eliminate this problem by aiming air above people on the sidewalks. "(The kiosks provide) a return for air, directing air above where people are walking," Gott said. But Gott added that the space the kiosks provide for posting flyers is one of their greatest assets. With their large sur- face areas and locations near heavily trafficked walkways, the kiosks serve the dual purpose of providing people with a place for hanging fly- ers and preventing them from hanging informa- tion on telephone and light poles. "They are kiosks that function for people to pin information on," Gott said. "(They offer a) way to keep people from post- ing on light poles." Kiosks are available to all students for post- ing, and no permission is required for hanging fly- ers. Maintenance of the kiosks is fairly simple, involving the removal of all flyers at the end of each semester. - SARAH ZAWACKI CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom c News Tips Corrections letterstothe Editor Photography Department Arts Section Editorial Page Sports Section Display Sales Classified Sales Online Sales Finance officehoursSun.-Thurs.

Her husband and children were also in the church, where her body rested in bronze coffin, as a crowd massed outside. "We are sincerely saddened by the death of Susan and we hope. that Morgan will remain strong," Mugabe said. The president, who visited the injured Tsvangirai in the hospital the day of the wreck, said their fledgling coali- tion government has only just begun efforts to bring rebuild a country beset by political and economic crisis. "We shall do our best, our possible best to ensure that the environment that we create in the country is a conducive environment," Mugabe said in calling for an end to violence. Zimbabwe's long history of political violence blamed on Mugabe's supporters fueled speculation that Friday's crash, in which the prime minister was slightly injured, was not an accident. Tsvangirai sought to quell those rumors Monday, saying there was "no foul play" in the crash. Speaking to questions swirl- ing about the car accident and Susan Tsvangirai's death, Mugabe said: "I plead with you to accept it, it's the hand of God," according to British Broadcasting Corp. Tsvangirai and, his children and Mugabe all stood in turn next to Susan Tsvangirai's open casket, heads bowed. 4 4 4 Thanks to our sponsors: Mutual. NION ALUMNI ASSOCIATION UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN I
