For the Daily
Historic Ann Arbor will soon
see the much anticipated - and
much debated - opening of a major
chain pharmacy in the heart of its
downtown. In the midst of both
excitement and disagreement with
the placement of the nationally
owned store, CVS prepares to open
its doors.
Construction began this sum-
mer on a new CVS pharmacy - to
be located on the 200 block of South
State Street next to Buffalo Wild
Wings. The new location is slated
to open early next year, according
to Mike DeAngelis, director of pub-
lic relations at CVS.
DeAngelis said the pharmacy
will be "full service" with a special
emphasis towards catering to stu-
dents' needs.
Currently, the closest CVS to
campus is located by Michigan Sta-
dium on South Industrial Highway.
According to an Ann Arbor Plan-
ning and Development Services
Staff Report, the new CVS will be
located in the city's historic dis-
trict, and the building itself dates
back to 1899.
CVS got permission from the
Historic District Commission in

For cancer patients already fac-
ing an overwhelming number of
decisions upon receiving a trou-
bling diagnosis, one medical team
at the University Health System's
Center for Reproductive Medicine
hopes to make having children a
possibility - and a priority.
Senait Fisseha, clinical assis-
tant professor in the University's
department of obstetrics and gyne-
cology, leads a team off campus at
the Briarwood medical complex to
help patients with fertility-threat-
ening conditions.
Fisseha said a study conducted
by the American Society of Clinical
Oncology - a professional organi-
zation of cancer-treating physi-
cians - revealed that while nearly
70 percent of oncologists surveyed
said they had discussed the issue of
fertility with their cancer patients,
only 25 percent referred a patient
to a fertility preservation special-
ist for counseling and preservation

Drinking has become ingrained
in the weekend culture of many
college campuses. to an effort
to help students make educated
choices when they choose to
drink, the University is offering an
online education tool to incoming
students.
The University started Com-
munity Matters, a program in
the form of an online multime-
dia course that incorporates two
modules, AlcoholEdu and Sexual-
AssaultEdu, last fall. The course is
administered to all new Universi-
ty students - including incoming
freshmen as well as undergradu-
ate transfer students - through
an e-mail that students receive
before the semester begins.
Though the program was brand
new last year, students have been
responsive to it. According to
aggregate data, 96 percent of stu-
dents participated in the course
last year, said Mary Jo Desprez,
the University's administrator for
