A disciplinary hearing for
Andrew Shirvell, the Michigan

has come under fire for his blog
targeting Michigan Student

Assembly President Chris Arm-

though no official ruling has been
announced.
Shirvell appeared at the office
of the Michigan Attorney General
in Lansing at 9 a.m. Friday morn-
ing for a disciplinary hearing
regarding the controversy. The
hearing will continue on Tuesday,
according to John Sellek, spokes-
man for Michigan Attorney Gen-
eral Mike Cox.
Over the past few months,
Shirvell has received national
attention for hisblog, Chris Arm-

es Armstrong of having a "radical
homosexual agenda" and being
an "elitist."
While driving back from Lan-

Philip Thomas said in a phone
interview that no decisions were
made Friday in order to give the
four-person panel time to read
the roughly 100-page docu-
ment he submitted concerning
Shirvell's actions.

Though loud music and red
cups are Football Saturday sta-
ples, fraternity members say
they are being punished for tak-

ing part in these traditions and
they're tired of it.
Hoping to curb what it sees as
a rise in noise and trash violations
issued to fraternities on game
days, a small group of representa-
tives from the Michigan Student
Assembly and the Interfrater-
nity Council met with Ann Arbor
Police Department Deputy Chief
John Seto in MSA Chambers Fri-
day.
"What we want to do is come
out, as a group, from this meet-
ing with some ideas, some helpful

hints, that we can put together ...
for students to best follow the law
(and) to best avoid getting viola-
tions," Brendan Friedman, chair
of the Greek Relations Select
Committee, said at the meeting.
Seto said noise violations are
generally the result of complaints
from neighbors - including reli-
gious institutions that hold ser-
vices on Saturdays - but that

Owner says he plans
to move to new spot
within 8 weeks
By LINDSAY KRAMER
Daily StaffReporter
As a memento of its more than
40 years in business, campus con-
venience store Village Corner gave
away free bags of "genuine dust
bunnies from the VC" before clos-

ing its doors on Saturday.
Village Corner owner Dick
Scheer sold his lease for the space,
located at the corner of South Uni-
versity Avenue and South Forest
Avenue, to developer Ron Hughs
who plans to turn the building
into a new student high rise by fall
2012.
Throughout its tenure at that
corner, Village Corner was a wit-
ness to the many changes on cam-
pus and South University Avenue.
When it first opened in 1970,

there was a movie theater down
the street along with several gift
and clothing stores, according to
Scheer.
"It became restaurant row for
a while, but it's come back with a
little more variety," Scheer said.
During the last few days of busi-
ness, Village Corner emptied out
as students bought the last of the
store's toiletries, sodas and bags
of pretzels and chips. The store
also held a 20-percent off sale that
