A front-page Wayne State story focuses on the university's housing and its contribution to the vitality and economy of Detroit . "There's a powerful multiplier effect," said Tammy Carnrike, chief operating officer for the Detroit Regional Chamber. "As more students live on campus, they'll also spend more in the area." Jacquelin Washington , chair of the WSU Board of Governors, noted that construction of three undergraduate residence halls in the past five years is part of the university's strategic plan. "It attracts people to our campus," she explained, "and there are a lot of people in this region for whom that was a deciding factor." Board member Paul Massaron expressed concern that efforts to build up the campus could overshadow concerns about tuition increases. "The question is who pays and how do we ease the burden on people of modest means," he said. Senior Andy Maggetti of Eastpointe said he chose to live on campus because "I wanted the college experience that everyone talks about. It's basically a more enriching college experience, and living in the city is amazing." Nabelah Ghareeb, assistant vice president for business and auxiliary operations, said new businesses, such as eateries that have located on campus in connection with the new residence halls, are helping to make the campus and the city more lively. "I think that between five and 10 years from now, this will be the talk of the town - not just locally but outside of Michigan ," she predicted. A sidebar accompanying the story lists enrollment, number of students living on campus, and average room costs for WSU, MSU, U-M and Oakland . Over a front-page photo of students setting up their room is the caption "WSU gambles on dorms." Two additional photos of students moving in on Monday are on the jump page.
