     We can't resist boasting a bit.  Saturday (May 6) is one
heck of a news day at Ohio State.  The campus is going to be
abuzz with activity all day long, and it's interesting,
photogenic, upbeat stuff -- just what you TV assignment editors
and radio news directors need for your Saturday evening/Sunday
morning newscasts.  Come early, stay late, (pray for sunshine)!
