William Gram: 7 TUESDAY: Arbor Anecdotes WEDNESDAY: University Jobs THURSDAY: Explained FRIDAY: Before You Were Here Checking in with a Hopwood legend Top winner at forefront of Latin American film industry Since winning 17 Hopwood Awards during her time at the University, Tina Datsko has immersed herself knee-deep in the Latin American film scene. While on campus, Datsko was most passionate about writing poetry. Although poetry continues to be her primary passion, she said she also writes screenplays to convey her work to a wider audience. Many of her films are screened at the Latin American Film Festival, which generates an audi- ence of about 800 people. "A film festival is a lot larger than a poetryreading," Datsko said. "And films are still poetry in a different form." Datsko's films have appeared on the Sundance channel's Arte Latino Film Fest. She also recently won Best Feature Screenplay at the Moondance Festival for her film "La Paz." Datsko's latest project involves mul- timedia shows that combine poetry readings with live musicians and art- work. She works with her husband, Jose Sanchez-H., to produce the films. While Datsko first developed her love for writing from her preschool librarian, the Hopwood Award program encour- aged her to pursue a career in writing. "The Hopwood Awards give young writers a chance to put together a man- uscript," Datsko said. "It's a way to take what you're doing seriously." Datsko won her first Hopwood award in 1978 and went on to win 16 more over the next eight years. Avery Hopwood, a famous drama- tist and a graduate of the University's class of 1905, designated one-fifth of his estate to the University Board of Regents to promote creative writing. The first award was given in 1931. Today, the Hopwood program offers about $120,000 in prizes each year. Other Hopwood winners that made the ranks are still writing as well. Davy Rothbart is the creator and edi- tor of FOUND magazine; Andrew Kurtz- man is a screenwriter and producer; Eric Zorn is a columnist and blogger for the Chicago Tribune; Robyn Anspach's poems have appeared in several maga- zines; Laura Kasischke teaches creative writing at Washtenaw Community Col- lege; Holly Spaulding teaches poetry at Northwestern Michigan College; and Nancy Willard is a Newbery medal win- ner and a lecturer at Vassar College. "The Hopwood Awards encourage more students to write," said Andrea Beauchamp, administrator of the Hop- wood program. The Hopwood Room, on the first floor of Angell Hall, maintains winning pieces from the past as well as a selec- tion of 20th-century literature, periodi- cals and reference books.

The pastor who spoke was Seth Kim. * A recent column by John Stiglich (StealingObama's thunder, 11/02/2006) mis- identified Maryland as commonwealth. Maryland is a state. Additionally, the column incorrectly stated that if Michael Steele wins his race for U.S. Senate from Maryland, he would be the first black Republican elected to that body since Reconstruction. Edward Brooke, a black Republican from Massa- chussetts, was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1966. Please report any error in the Daily to corrections@ michigandaily.com.

For example, dark chocolate, which is rich in antioxidants, will largely replace milk chocolate on store shelves. 3A recent study found that some sexually active young adults do not use them because they associate condoms with a lack of trust, ABC News reported. Oth- ers think carrying condoms suggests sexual experience - which may be good for males, but not so good for females. 4 a U U I 0 0
