I offered to do this a year ago and Wayne State wanted to charge me for
access to the equipment that I proposed to provide.  They have a strange
outlook on such things.  (all $$$).

If OU had an SCP in the Warren/Sterling Heights area I would use that.
I'd rather not deal with Wayne State for the reason mentioned in the
previous paragraph.
