At least 12 Campustown businesses were damaged in the riot last weekend. No matter who started it or who exacerbated it, we as a campus must help these merchants recover. It will cost Mayhem more than $500 to replace their one broken window. How much will it cost to repair Pizza Pit and Kum & Go?

In many cases, the cost of repairs will come directly out of the bottom line of these businesses. So if you want a pizza this week, order it from Pizza Pit. If you need a haircut, stop by Leedz. Let Copyworks bind that 25 page- report you have to write. Drink your Wednesday night pitcher of beer at Welch Avenue Station. Make one extra trip to Campustown this week and show these businesses you appreciate them.
