Ayers attended Columbia at the same time Obama did. Conceivably, they may have met there for the first time.
In any event, as a student at Columbia's Banks School of Education, Ayers wouldn't have been in a position to help out a transfer from Occidental.

Ayers is some 15 years older than Obama. They attended Columbia at the same time??? There is so much to check into on every topic vis-a-vis Obama that I’ll just take your word for that one.
