This week's cover
story consists of news editor Anne VanderMey's
investigation into the University's Department
of Public Safety. DPS was created for the pro-
tection of students, but has always been seen
as a threat to students.
The magazine also includes a profile of Fleet-
wood Diner waitress Emilye Bangham, whose
worldly experiences and. attitudes give the
Fleetwood its one-of-a-kind reputation. Bang-
ham is looking to not only serve the community
the legendary food but enrich Ann Arbor with a
new group for artisans.
We also have the interesting insights into the
life of a campus bartender in this week's ver-
sion of "In My Own Words" - a weekly staple
that we instituted several weeks ago and have
been very pleased with.
In the words of the great former editor Doug
Wernert: Thanks for reading.

Jlaudom: Hello?
The Michigan Daily: Is Andrew
there?
R: Yeah, this is Andrew.
TMD: I have great news, you've
been selected to do the Random Stu-
dent Interview. Do you have a few
minutes?
R: Uh, yeah sure.
TMD: So we asked this ques-
tion last week but didn't get a good
answer. Do white people bore you?
R: Yeah, totally. They're lacking
in color and they're white.
TMD: Is it their haircuts?
R: It might be.
TMD: How about their music?
They like acid jazz. Are you white?
Do you like acid jazz?
R: Yeah, I'm white but no I don't.
TMD: Who's going to win the
Super Bowl?
R: I don't even know who's playing
because I am that much of a douche.
No wait I do know this, it's the Steel-
ers and the ...
TMD: The Seahawks. Do you
know who Jerome Bettis is?
R: No.
TMD: He plays for the Steelers
and is from Detroit. Do you think
Kwame will fix the Super Bowl so
Jerome can get a ring?
R: Yes. He's going to do it with
magic.
TMD: Kwame does magic?

R: Didn't he always?
TMD: Do you think he's going to
demand a ring if they win?
R: I think he's going to demand
one for every finger.
TMD: The Super Bowl is going
to make prostitutes come to Detroit.
How many do you think are here
now?
R: Already? In addition to the ones
already here? I've counted 17 and
when there's 17 prostitutes there are
about 40,000 others.
TMD: Do you think they take a
team bus to get here with their logo
on the side and 40-inch spinners?
R: I don't think they have a union
or anything but I am pretty sure they
found a bus with spinners.
TMD: Who wants to sex Mutom-
bo?
R: Doesn't everyone?
TMD: That's what I thought.
Who's your favorite Statement col-
umnist? What about our food colum-
nist? How about Cosi?
R: I like food. But I've never been
to Cosi.
TMD: Would you assume that it's
a four-star restaurant?
R: From the decoration, yes. It's
very "we're imitating a four-star res-
taurant."
TMD: Then do you think it actual
is a four-star restaurant?
R: I believe it is not because it's

trying to be one. I would rate it about
two stars with an asterisk saying I
had never been there.
TMD: What "Simpsons" character
would you want to make out with? I
would say Apu.
R: I would say Gil.
TMD: What would you rather
have, a third eye or a third arm? And
where would it be?
R: A third arm. It would probably
be under my left arm.
TMD: Would you rather have your
mom walk in on you masturbating or
walk in on your mom masturbating?
R: I would have to say the first
one.
TMD: Well I would've gone with
the second. If you could make up a
state motto what would it be?
R: Florida: The flaccid penis of
America.
TMD: What song would be your
life's soundtrack?
R: "Big Pimpin'"
TMD: Nice. Jay-Z. Mine is "What
it Do" by David Banner.
R: Never heard of him. Sorry, I'm
just not that cool. I feel bad that you
called me.
TMD: Really? Ever heard of Mis-
sissippi?
R: The state?
TMD: Yeah, the state. He pretty
much runs it. Do you like screwed
and chopped music?


R: I don't know what that is.
TMD: See this is what I'm talking
about when I say white people's music
bores us. What do you listen to?
R: I guess I listen to the other
type of boring white-people music. I
wouldn't say indie but I wouldn't say
interesting.
TMD: You're one of those kids.
Well screwed and chopped is when
they slow music down and make
it sound awesome. What albums
might you want to hear screwed and
chopped?
R: I suppose the point would be to
slow down something really fast.
TMD: Not really, no.
R: Um, slow down like an Iron and
Wine album and then it would just like
stop. They're too slow already.
TMD: They are too slow aren't
they? Do you like Iron and Wine? That
