GOOD TIDINGS: (above, from left) Freshman Karen Martindale, of Chicago, and sophomore Sarah Bowers, of Westland, gather information about the holiday sharing tree at the Student Center. Tags placed on the tree represent the needs and wishes of 200 to 300 local children and families registered with the Salvation Army and the Ypsilanti Housing Commission. Trees also are set up in Marshall, Pray-Harrold, the Convocation Center and Halle Library. All unwrapped gifts should be brought to the VISION office in the Student Center no later than Dec. 9.
