[Vision2020] The Wal-Mart Effect on Moscow

[Donovan Arnold]

Tom,
  
 OK Tom, if there are 12 thousand students at UI and Mike  Ivers was only able to  collect 25 signatures against Wal-mart in  the busiest location at the University, even if all those signatures  were all students, what percentage is that of the student population  opposed to Wal-Mart? 
  
 Perhaps we should notify the police  that some people are joy riding 1000s of student cars and every week  and taking them to Wal-Mart.

    &#8220;Believe  it or not, most students and their parents do make a determination on  where to go to college based on the affordability of the college and  town. Having a large discount retail store and a large discount grocery  store available to them does impact affordability.&#8221;
     
    And  just what do the students say about a Wal-Mart super center?  I  could go on and on about how some students feel this way or that.   But, hey, why not have them tell you, just like they told us in last  Friday&#8217;s (February 10, 2006) UI Argonaut:
