Also, this article in the Gazette
(http://gazette.net/stories/02032011/portnew174856_32557.php) signals
an encouraging development in the University of Maryland's support of
the Purple Line. "Wallace D. Loh, president of the University of
Maryland, College Park, said UM is "absolutely committed" to having
the Purple Line come to the university's campus, which encouraged city
officials hopeful to end a prolonged conflict over the light rail's
placement."
