August 23, 1994 — College students have impact
A steady stream of cars made their way into Wayne over the weekend. These cars were filled with students headed to Wayne State College for the start of the fall semester. According to the latest figures available nearly 1,600 students will be living in dormitories this fall and more than 900 will others will find off-campus housing. Statistics released by the college indicate that more than $5 million will be spent by students on non-campus related goods and services. These numbers represent an economic boost to the Wayne community. Wayne mayor Bob Carhart says, "the students have lots of cars that need gas, visit the food places and entertainment places generally benefit from the college students."
