8 hours ago ago from The Dernogalizer

This is a great sign in the fight to Save the Hillock , 9 acres of forest on the campus that the University of Maryland is seeking to develop.  The University Senate is not the final authoritative body on this matter, the issue now goes to the president of the university, Dan Mote.  Still, this is very good for momentum and media coverage.  I have a column coming out this Monday in the Diamondback where I make another argument for why the ...
