Obituary on Cheryl McCall, first female editor of The South End

An obit on Cheryl McCall, who parlayed her love of children into a career defending their rights as an attorney, mentions her experiences as a student at Wayne State, where she caused a stir on campus as the first freshman and first female editor of The South End student newspaper.
