Mount Vernon to appeal census figures for campus count
Mount Vernon plans to appeal the 2000 census figures for its student population after census takers skipped door to door campus visits. City officials cite low mail response and reliance on mailed surveys, with 90 percent of Cornell's 987 students living on campus. If the appeal fails, independent counters could be used and results sent to Iowa.
