Getting better: ITD should broaden students' computing options
The first week of Fall term 1998 has officially begun. Students now scramble through the online courseguide, weave their way through the crowds of the Diag and wait in long lines to buy books. With assignments and papers on students' minds, many are quickly becoming dependent on the services provided by the University's Information Technology Division. The hassles of setting up computers and mastering the technological opportunities of the University are among students first assignments.
The waiting game: Board's decision is long overdue
Last week, the National Labor Relations Board finally settled a three-year strike with a unanimous ruling that the Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News violated labor laws and failed to bargain in good faith with their employees.

'M' Stadium renovations defy memories of games past
On the eve of the first home football game, think about which Michigan football memories have sunk in your head. Think about football weather, tailgating, watching the Ohio State victory last year scrunched closer to your friends than ever before. Think about how the Michigan tradition grabs hold and refuses to let go, forever. Think about the sheer energy of more than 100,000 people wearing maize and blue. Beware traveling bleary-eyed to the game tomorrow. You won't know what to think.
