Boise State University ScholarWorks Student Newspapers (UP 4.15) University Documents 3-30-1993 Arbiter, March 30 Students of Boise State University Although this file was scanned from the highest-quality microfilm held by Boise State University, it reveals the limitations of the source microfilm. It is possible to perform a text search of much of this material; however, there are sections where the source microfilm was too faint or unreadable to allow for text scanning.
