Millersville graduates plan quiet protests during Corbett's commencement address

PENNLIVE
Some graduating students, alumni and others have been organizing demonstrations to make it known to Corbett that he is not their choice to be the one delivering inspirational words of wisdom to the Class of 2013.

Corbett was selected by a university administrator from a list of approved speakers identified by a commencement committee a couple years ago. But graduating seniors and the larger university community feel betrayed by that decision.

They do not associate Corbett with bringing good things to their school.

They blame him for the budget cutbacks that led to the elimination of the men's cross country and track and field program. They blame him for the reduced hours they can work at their campus jobs. They blame him for the cuts in state support that led to larger class sizes, lost jobs and high tuition.

So they are planning to protest the man they hold responsible.

New carry-out eatery opens in Columbia

MERCHANDISER
The Columbia Fryer Chicken Shack has opened its doors for business. Located at 301 Cherry St. at the corner of Third and Cherry streets, the eatery will offer delicious chicken fried up by co-owner Jamie Uhlrich.

Uhlrich is no stranger to the chicken business. He has been serving up great food for 20 years, managing the Mount Joy Twin Kiss and River Street Cafe in Marietta. Taking bits and pieces of recipes and perfecting them, Uhlrich has come up with some of the tastiest broasted chicken and chicken wings in the area. Chicken is not the only food to be found at The Columbia Fryer Chicken Shack, as shrimp, crab cakes, fish and chips, and more round out the menu. A daily special homemade meal will also be available, allowing customers to enjoy a good meal on a short lunch break or to take home for an easy dinner. "Stop in and grab yourself a bucket meal with a couple of sides and enjoy," the owners encouraged.

The Columbia Fryer Chicken Shack can also cater work luncheons or make meals for fundraisers.

Business hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays through Sundays, with extended hours offered during the summer. Food is available for carryout only, and customers are encouraged to call ahead to 342-2639 to have their order ready for pickup.
