But one of my friends did tell me that I received my own paragraph in the Ann Arbor Chronicle. Prepare to be hillarified.
Russell, who is listed as a “Campus Legend” in the UM online directory, stated that he had lived off campus on State Street for three years. He noted the recent zoning change to the Burns Park area as reflective of community sentiment against student encroachment into neighborhoods and said that the 601 S. Forest project would mitigate against such encroachment by providing an alternative to the substandard housing alternatives near single-family neighborhoods. Compared to other Big Ten institutions, Russell characterized some UM off-campus housing options as “slum housing.” He stated that the improvement of student housing is the responsibility of both city council and student government, and suggested that current student government might not necessarily be mindful of the support among many students for the project.They actually looked me up in the campus directory. Thank goodness I took out the part that said my favorite beverage was bathwater.

Brian,
Why didn't YOU also go to the Bruce Springsteen concert before the City Council meeting?
I was 4 minutes too late for the free tickets. Also, I would have had to dress up for the concert, because I would have known I had a meeting following it.
Brian:
Can you explain how it is that the Michigan Student Assembly is opposed to adding more housing on campus. I am baffled.
I have the exact same question. Why is my student government opposed to increasing the amount of housing on campus?
